These 60 Songs by Canadian Artists Charted On The Billboard Hot 100 in 2023

It's always a rite of passage when an artist charts on the Billboard Hot 100, a sign that a song has reached one of the highest levels of mainstream popularity.

In 2023, there were 60 songs by Canadian artists — with a Canadian musician as either the lead or featured artist — that made it onto the main Hot 100 (for a breakdown of the Canadian Hot 100, head here).

It's no surprise to see Drake and The Weeknd dominate this list. They were record-setters in 2023.

For The Weeknd, his "Die For You" remix with Ariana Grande has turned out to be one of his most enduring hits. It hit No. 1 this year seven years after it first debuted. He didn't put out an album this year, but still hit the Hot 100 six times in 2023. He was a featured artist on hits by Metro Boomin, Travis Scott and Diddy. He also hit the charts with a pair of original songs from his HBO series The Idol with extra star power from Future, Playboi Carti and Madonna.

Drake, meanwhile, is a lock to make the Hot 100 any time he releases a project. First, his collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, got seven songs on the Hot 100. His album For All The Dogs launched even more songs onto the chart and tied Drake's record for solo males on the Billboard Hot 100 with J. Cole team-up “First Person Shooter.” Instead of taking a hiatus, as he teased, he instead released a deluxe Scary Hours edition of the album, adding six new songs— all of which charted.

Nelly Furtado, meanwhile, made a return to the chart with "Keep Going Up!", her reunion with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. She's been back in the studio with new music, so it could signal a big year for her in 2024. Indie rock singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco also scored his first Hot 100 hit with "Heart To Heart," a 2019 song that had a belated rise on TikTok.

A handful of emerging Canadian artists also charted. One of Billboard Canada's Breakthroughs of 2023, Tate McRae charted twice, once with her major hit "greedy" and once as a featured artist on Tiësto's "10:35." Angsty Toronto artist ThxSoMch had a surprise viral hit with "Spit In My Face!", while up-and-coming pop artist LU KALA charted as a featured artist on Latto's "Lottery."
