Two things first. Turns out Edward Maya isn't Canadian. He's Romanian. So Cancon on Top 40 radio is even lower than what I thought it was. Second, the Glee Cast has four songs debuting in the American Top 40 this week. I can almost guarantee they won't be there next week. I feel a turgid, spit-flecked rant about Glee coming on...
In the Top 40 this week: Nelly Furtado (top Canadian at #12), Michael Buble, JRDN, Shawn Desman, Johnny Ried, Fefe Dobson (twice), Down with Webster, Finger Eleven, Sweet Thing (10/40, 25%, well below the neede 35% Cancon).
No weirdness on the charts this week, though I will note it's been about 6 weeks since any Canadian artist was in the Top 10 singles. Isn't Canadian radio supposed to be championing Canadian music?
