The Irreverent Ms. Pegi Wins An Award

By FYI Staff

On Friday, June 4, Pegi Cecconi was awarded the 2020 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) for her ongoing contributions and dedication to the Canadian music industry. Some might call her an acquired taste, others the loudest mouth in the room, but she’s become an icon for women in the music business. One tough broad, in the parlance of Mickey Spillane, and a well-versed freedom fighter who has earned her mark with valour, and noted for her achievements that have always placed her client’s best interests first.

Every Canadian Artist Who Has Had More Than One No. 1 Hit on the Billboard Hot 100

Since the chart launched in 1959, dozens of Canadian songs have climbed to the top spot — but only eight Canadian stars have ever hit No. 1 more than once, including Drake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd and Paul Anka.

Canadians have had their share of No. 1 hits since the Billboard Hot 100 first launched in 1959, but only a select group of Canadian artists have ever done it twice.

Number one on the Billboard Hot 100 is a coveted spot, with artists and their teams battling it out to claim the placement. Teen idol Paul Anka was the first Canadian to hit that height in July of 1959 with "Lonely Boy," (also the title of an influential Canadian documentary about him).
