Maple Syrup

Born on the north side of the backwaters of the great lakes amid a midnight snowstorm, something calls me home.

just the introduction text makes this a wonderful chart Hayden. I'm not from Canada, nor have I ever lived in Canada. but I already know this is an amazing chart.

I know I mentioned this in the chart talk thread, but this is incredible and I'm especially impressed by the inclusion of First Nations music, a genre that often gets forgotten in the music history of not just Canada, but all of the Americas (and honestly lots of the world).

I was heavily inspired by this chart when making my 51 albums of Washington, DC chart, so thank you for that!

Thanks guys, appreciate it. There's still going to be some tweaks, but it's getting there. Also, while there's definitely some heavyweights near the top, it isn't necessarily a ranked list. Just a giant Canadian blanket.
