Charts For The Week Ending December 12
Charts, charts, charts. Natalie MacMaster hits number three. Tom Waits continues to dominate. Pack A.D. back at the (near) top just in time for their show, and Will Currie and the Country French continue their slow upward crawl to power. Drake at #11, The Hoa Hoa’s right behind. Stan Rogers, who, I should remind everyone, is tragically deceased, is still charting with a re-release of ‘Fogarty’s Cove’. Two re-releases of 1981 Canadian synth-punk-what have you are also on the charts. An interesting week to start the holidays.
