Drake Wins Big In This Week's Radio Sweepstakes

Drake's lead single from his fifth studio album is a lavish affair and it's top of the pops here, in the US, the UK and just about anywhere else that counts. Others making waves include Tom Cochrane, The Sheepdogs, and  George Canyon.

Drake Wins Big In This Week's Radio Sweepstakes

By FYI Staff

The following are tracks delivered to radio by digital distributor DMDS/Yangaroo in Canada and broken down into two categories. Top Downloads represents the most downloaded songs in the week ending April 27th, and the Most Active Indies blends downloads and streams, with the affiliated label and radio promotions company in parenthesis.



Drake's lead single from his fifth studio album, Scorpion, is a lavish, big-budget affair with a positive storyline and it's top of the pops here, in the US, the UK and just about anywhere else that counts. George Canyon's "Better Off In Love" sets up his next album, Southside Of Heaven, set for release on May 25. On the quirky side, New York's Sofi Tucker - Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern - get lucky (again) with the third single from their debut Treehouse album, Tom Cochrane does the right thing with his Humboldt fund-raising edition of "Big League" and The Sheepdogs land a hit from their recently released Changing Colours album that includes a fun--loving barroom brawl video to match.

Kaytranada Wants Fans to Dance at Shows: ‘If You Put Your Phone Up, Let’s Move Them Hips at Least!’

"It looks mad awkward from where I stand," he said of seeing phones at his performances.

Kaytranada isn’t the biggest fan of how audiences choose to enjoy live shows in the age of smartphones and social media.

Over the weekend, the Montreal-based producer responded to a fan on X who apologized on behalf of “real fans” who dance at his shows as opposed to “standing still” in order to capture content for their social media pages. “Kaytranada, I am so sorry you got TikTok famous and now bastards are standing still during ‘Intimidated,’ ‘Freefall,’ ‘Vex Oh,’ ‘You’re the One,'” the fan wrote. “What the f—k is going on??? All points was I miss you @kaytranada please do some private show for the real fans because I can’t take this no more.”
