Ruby Waters Scores First-Ever Billboard No. 1 With ‘GET A GRIP’ on the Canadian Modern Rock Airplay Chart

After 10 weeks, the independent Ontario singer-songwriter's pop-rock hit takes the top spot.

Ruby Waters has a grip on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts.

The Ontario-born singer-songwriter climbs from No. 3 to No. 1 with “GET A GRIP” on the Modern Rock Airplay chart, dated Nov. 14. It marks her first-ever No. 1 song on any Billboard Canada chart — a major feat for an independent artist. It debuted on Modern Rock just 10 weeks ago, slowly climbing to the top.
