For a second week in a row, Chappell Roan holds the top spot with "The Giver". This departure into country music after her debut pop album has shown Chappell's continued diversity and was the right song at the right time to hit #1 after four previous top 10 hits. However, her future at #1 isn't guaranteed as 19-year-old British pop newcomer Flowerovlove rises to #2 with her first chart appearance, "I've Seen Ur Ex". This fast-rising infectuous tune just can't be stopped these days, it seems!
In the lower part of the top 10, we see British talent show contestant Courtney Hadwin and Minnesota singer-songwriter Anna Graves rising a spot each; "Dizzy" is a real slow burning song, due to recent word of mouth catching on, she has returned to her #7 peak in her 21st week on!
Entering the top 10 are some veteran artists; at #8 is the first top 10 hit since my chart started for yacht rock veterans the Doobie Brothers; sadly they do not have as much chart history for me as most of their big hits were before I was born. Their current hit, which has lead vocals from returning singer Michael McDonald, sounds like it could've been recorded in the late 70's or early 80's as his voice has held up very well since then. Most of their previous hits on my chart were sung by Patrick Simmons.
And at #9 is one of the rare country acts who have regularly made my chart; the recently reunited trio Rascal Flatts are back and giving their old songs a new spin with new collaborators. This one, which features guest vocals from Kelly Clarkson, was the obvious choice given her track record on my chart, and "I'm Movin' On" becomes their first ever top 10 on my chart after over two decades of country hits. It's now Kelly's 57th top 10 hit to date.
While Chappell Roan has given country music another turn at #1, the previous country #1, "It'll Always Be You" by Kaylee Rose falls out of my top 10 after 14 weeks in. Coincidentally, Chappell's real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz!
Below the top 10 we have the latest from Benson Boone, looking to get his first top 10 hit (and already his biggest to date), while Green Day is looking towards a second from "Saviors", as well as their 8th overall.
Evanescence makes this week's hot shot debut at #19 with "Afterlife". The song, from the Netflix series "Devil May Cry", is their first new music since 2021's "The Bitter Truth" album, and it is looking to become their first top 10 hit since 2011, partially helped by the fact that I saw them in concert last year in Edmonton. This isn't the highest they have debuted, as "Call Me When You're Sober" debuted at #9 on August 6, 2006.
The next highest debut is Ariana Grande; "Twilight Zone" is the lead single from her deluxe edition of "Eternal Sunshine". Coincidentally, two groups who previously had hit songs with that title - Golden Earring and 2 Unlimited - were both Dutch groups.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive has long been one of Canada's greatest rock bands, and their comeback single "60 Years Ago" enters straight in at #38. This autobiographical song about the band's early days becomes their first apperance in 15 years; their last, 2010's "Rollin' Along", reached #76 (it was released under the slightly altered band name "Bachman & Turner", but aside from Randy's son Tal, who has joined the band since, it consists of the same members as the current line-up). The band, still headed by founders Randy Bachman and Fred Turner (both 81 years old), is currently on tour across Canada. Other artists over the age of 80 who have charted in 2025 so far include Dion (85), Buddy Guy (88), Smokey Robinson (85), and Bill Medley (84). Tina Turner died nearly two years ago; if she were still alive, she would've been 85.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor had a top 10 hit at the start of the year with "Freedom Of The Night", and she follows it straight up at #39 with "Relentless Love".
Despite being one of Canada's biggest rock bands and a chart mainstay, Nova Scotia's The Trews had never hit my top 40 until this week as, after over 20 years, "The Breakdown" becomes their first ever top 40 entry! Previously their biggest were 2014's "Rise In The Wake" and 2020's "God Speed Rebel", which both reached #53.
Other debuts include Kajagoogoo lead singer Limahl covering America's "A Horse With No Name", Sum 41's final single coinciding with their disbandment after their final performance at the Juno Awards; social media personality Anna Akana's return after a 5-year absence; another single from Canadian female rockers The Beaches; collaboration between Canadian pop boys Shawn Desman and Jamie Fine; up and coming Canadian pop girl Alex Porat; the latest from Virginia To Vegas; another single by child opera prodigy turned adult pop singer Jackie Evancho; country-pop singer Maren Morris; British blue-eyed soul singer Paloma Faith; socialite turned singer and entrepreneur Paris Hilton; and the comeback from one of the biggest pop stars of the 21st century, Miley Cyrus, with her 36th chart entry "End Of The World".
And with recent events south of the border bolstering Canadian patriotism from sea to sea, including the purchase of Canadian-made goods and travelling within Canada, it's also shown on my chart as 31% of the songs are by Canadian artists! Elbows up! Coincidentally, this time in 2004 the #1 song was by a Canadian - Avril Lavigne had her 3rd of 12 (so far) #1 hits with "Don't Tell Me".
