Shania Twain, Les Cowboys Fringants and The Tragically Hip Hit the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart After Canada Day

In the spirit of patriotism, these classic Canadian acts are re-entering or rising on the charts.

It's the week of Canada Day, and some of the nation’s favourite legacy artists are back on the charts.

On the Billboard Canadian Albums chart dated July 5, L'amerique Pleure, the concert film soundtrack by Quebec rock band Les Cowboys Fringants, reemerges at No. 97. Loosely translating to “America cries,” the soundtrack’s name comes from a track on the group’s 2019 album, Les Antipodes.
