Devon Cole Debuts Radio Hit 'I Got You' on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100

A Canadian singer is making her first mark on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 this week.

Devon Cole arrives on the chart at No. 99 with "I Got You." The single, released this summer, quickly became a radio hit, with its breezy acoustic guitar riff and Cole's clear vocal. The song is an ode to friendship — though, Cole revealed, it's more aspirational than true to life.


"It’s a little ironic for me to have written this song because I’ve historically not been the best friend," she said. "I have amazing friends – they are hilarious, intelligent, and iconic. They deserve the kind of friend described in this song."

Cole broke through in 2022 with her viral single "W.I.T.C.H.," earning a Juno nomination for Breakthrough Artist and sharing the stage with stars like Charlotte Cardin. While that song hit the U.S. and Canada Digital Song Sales charts, this is her first time on the Canadian Hot 100.

With a recent relocation from Toronto to L.A., her star could be poised to rise even higher.

Also making a chart debut this week is U.K. rapper Ndotz, whose track "Embrace It" has been gaining traction on TikTok, and now lands on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at No. 72.

The North London-based rapper first went viral in 2021 with "Check," and has garnered 810K followers on TikTok. "Embrace It" is a fast-paced track pairing distorted percussion with a Latin guitar lick, and it's a winning combo.

At the top of the Canadian Hot 100, Shaboozey holds on to the top spot for an 18th week with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," meaning he could tie Lil Nas X's record next week and break it the week after, if momentum holds.

Over on the Canadian Albums chart, Sabrina Carpenter notches her fifth week at No. 1, following a sold-out Toronto show where she broke out a Maple Leafs jersey. Chappell Roan's Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hits a peak at No. 3, as Roan takes a step back from performing amidst a meteoric and overwhelming rise to fame, while Future's Mixtape Pluto debuts at No. 4.
