Canadian vinyl fans will be adding to their record collections this weekend.

Major Canadian acts like Neil Young, The Weeknd, The Tragically Hip and Sum 41 are all dropping special releases in partnership with Record Store Day 2024 on Saturday, April 20.


Neil Young & Crazy Horse are releasing their new double album Fu##in Up as a clear vinyl, ahead of the black vinyl wide release on April 26. The album features new versions of songs from Young's 1990 album Ragged Glory, with live recordings from Toronto club The Rivoli. Young and Crazy Horse are heading on the road in support of the album, with tour stops in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Burnaby B.C. this summer.

The Tragically Hip, who are this year's Canadian Record Store Day ambassadors, also have a special release planned to mark the occasion. Live at CBGB's features nine recordings from a 1993 performance at the New York City punk venue, when the band launched their third album Fully Completely in the States. The recordings are available as of tomorrow as a 12 inch vinyl and a cassette tape, both in pink.

The Hip have other live records in their discography, but Canadian superstar The Weeknd is venturing into new territory with his first ever live album, Live at SoFi Stadium, coming out as a triple LP for Record Store Day. Recorded across two 2022 concerts in Inglewood, California, the album captures The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour, with live performances of hits like "Die For You," "Can't Feel My Face" and "Starboy."

Also coming to record stores for April 20th are an LP version of Sum 41's debut EP Half Hour of Power — following up the recent release of the band's final album, Heaven :X: Hell — as well as a vinyl picture disc release of the Barenaked Ladies' 2023 album In Flight.

How Tate McRae Leveled Up To Main Pop Girl Status

Billboard's Women in Music Hitmaker is known for her stunning performances — but her pen has always been her secret weapon, and it's yielding pop bangers.

Before there was Tate McRae, ultra-polished pop performer, there was Tate McRae, preteen from Calgary, Alberta, writing songs at home and uploading them to YouTube.

And while McRae’s high-caliber, intricately choreographed performances and visually striking, maximalist music videos have arguably become the focal points of her public image today (manifesting in a fierce alter ego she calls Tatiana), it’s her other side that Billboard is honoring as this year’s Women in Music Hitmaker — the one who used to take solace in crafting lyrics to sing not in front of more than 10,000 screaming fans but alone in her bedroom. The 22-year-old’s underappreciated pen is just as lethal as her performance capabilities. After a modest debut in the familiar lane of Gen Z pop melancholia — making her first Billboard Hot 100 appearance in 2020 with “You Broke Me First” — McRae enlisted fellow hit-makers Ryan Tedder and Amy Allen to help craft pristine, radio-­friendly pop bangers that she could actually move to, tapping into her upbringing as a competitive dancer onstage and channeling past pop icons such as Britney Spears (to whom she’s now ­frequently compared).
