Empire of the Sun's 'We Are the People' Debuts on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 More Than 15 Years After Initial Release

The track from the Australian duo enters at No. 96 after a surge on TikTok. Plus, married country duo Thelma & James (featuring Canadian singer MacKenzie Porter) debut at No. 92 with "Happy Ever After You."

This week's Canadian Hot 100 features a significantly late bloomer.

Empire of the Sun have earned their first entry on the Canadian Hot 100 with "We Are the People," which debuts at No. 96 on this week's chart dated May 17. The feat comes almost two decades after the song's initial release on the group's debut album Walking on a Dream in 2008.
