Bryan Adams' Protest Anthem '51st State' Enters Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart

The iconic singer-songwriter's protest song, released on Canada Day, debuts at No. 34 on this week's Mainstream Rock chart. Plus, Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" climbs several airplay charts as the World Cup fever continues to rise.

Bryan Adams made a bold statement defending Canada, and it has hit the airwaves across the country.

The revered singer-songwriter enters the Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at No. 36 on this week's chart, dated July 18, with his recent single "51st State." Released on Canada Day just over two weeks ago, the song is a protest anthem that is a direct response to U.S. president Donald Trump's threats on the country's sovereignty. Adams rejects the idea that Canada will ever be annexed as the 51st state.
