Lot's of buzzy new Can-Con tracks are out and about this time of year. Earlier this week the new Billy Talent record dropped and on Monday the radio world will likely bow down to the smooth sounds of the new Nickelback single "Gotta Be Somebody". In a technology reversal, I actually had an EMI rep play it for me over the phone yesterday. I felt like it was 1991 all over again. Needless to say, its another multi-format smash which will dominate the airwaves from now until Christmas.
Notable:
-XM52 Verge Music awards happened earlier this week. The big winner was The Weakerthans who picked up Best Artist and a check for $25,000 cash. Also notable is Hey Rosetta picking up Best Album
-Toronto’s Virgin Radio was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for “Shortest Radio Show”, for the “Maurie Show” heard weekdays from 8:51am – 8:52am. Craig Glenday of Guinness World Records was in the Virgin Radio studios on Monday where he determined the show met all eligibility requirements to break the record. The guidelines state that in order to be eligible, a radio show must be stand-alone scheduled show, with its own opening jingle, a host and guests.
