Canadian Top 40 Cancon Roundup for February 17, 2011

This week's Top 40 Cancon: Fefe Dobson (top Canadian at #6), Neverest, Martin Solveig and Dragonette, Avril Lavigne, Shawn Desman, JRDN, Marianas Trench, Alyssa Reid, Johnny Reid, Finger Eleven, Dean Brody (11/40, or about 28%, well below Cancon legal requirements yet again).

Note: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" debuted at the #1 spot on the American Top 40 charts, no doubt bouyed by her Grammys performance. The song is not even in the Top 100 charts on Canadian radio, which tends to be slow to react to things. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. Often, the US charts will jump on fads and play the crap out of something til listeners are sick of it (see Glee and various American Idol "stars"), where as Canadian charts will play the same variety again and again, til it just gets stale.

I'll have a recap of the Grammys up soon...
