Top 5 CDs in Canada by Canadian Artists - A First

History was made in Canada this week. For the first time ever, the Top Five selling albums in Canada are by Canadians. At the top of the list at Number One is Michael Bublé, with Feist at Two; Rush, in at Number Three and their first new album in years. The next two positions are Avril Lavigne at Number Four and Isabelle Boulay, the fifth best selling CD.

Add to that, the Number Nine position is held by Nelly Furtado, the results of which is the fact that fully 60% of the Top Ten selling albums in Canada are by Canadians!

What a wonderful feat. As a seasoned veteran of the Canadian Music Industry, I am proud and I salute you for this tremendous achievement.
