He’s not in a barbershop quartet but Toronto singer Sage Harris has opened Saturday Life Barber Shop with his friend and head barber Akram Bekri. In celebration and in the spirit of the season, the two will be donating 10 percent of all haircut proceeds this weekend (Dec. 20 to 22) to Dr. Roz’s Healing Place to purchase gifts for the children staying in the emergency shelter with their mothers.


“I grew up with my mom in Scarborough; we lived in and out of different women’s shelters,” said Sage in a press statement.  “I couldn’t even afford a haircut, so I wanted to open a barber shop that supports my local community.”

Chart Beat

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).
