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.

Top 30 Chart for Week Ending December 5
Another week, another chart, this time, as every time, for music played played this last week at CFRC, all those bands, artists or musicians of any sort who received two spins or more on CFRC during the period between November 21 and November 28. Verily does the world spin, and the aged get cast down in the name of the new. So, yeah, Jon McKiel, David Myles, Terra Lightfoot and The Jezabels came out of nowhere to get into the top ten. No button-down music chart, here, no, it has the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles.
