in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) July 12, 2011 1:43 pm
Is there any album out there that will knock off our reigning chart champ? No album lasts forever at #1. There are two LPs that have remained at #1 for 10 weeks: Thrush Hermit's Clayton Park in 1999 and Stars' Set Yourself On Fire in 2004. So as of this week, Chad VanGaalen's Diaper Island is half way to matching this longevity record, as it's sat...

Last week, there was a virtual split between Canadian...

As anyone in Canada knows, we've been living through a work stoppage because the postal workers had been locked out until yesterday when the federal government voted them back to work.

It's the longest day of 2011 in the northern hemisphere today, and it's amazing how the standard time zones across Canada first proposed by Sir Sanford Fleming (a Scottish-born Canadian engineer) have been mucked about by political interference.

It has happened before and it'll probably happen again, but in the end it doesn't happen every week. The campus radio charts not only have yet another new #1 album, but there have now been six different chart-topping albums over the past six weeks.

There have been some months on the campus charts where the same three or four albums sit week after week in the same spot and this chart analysis must instead focus on the new debuts or surprise re-entries further down the top 50 chart. Then there are those periods when there's some real competition among various albums for the hearts and ears of...
