Canadian Pop

Canadian Pop music emerged in the late 20th century, when the Great White North decided that if it was going to export snow and syrup, it might as well churn out catchy tunes as well. Characterised by polished production, heartfelt lyrics, and the occasional hint of an 'eh' for authenticity, the genre encompasses everything from upbeat anthems to melancholy ballads, often sounding a bit like your favourite guilty pleasure on repeat. It's a genre that proves not all canoes come without paddles, especially when it comes to hitting the top charts in both Canada and beyond.
