7.Alanis Morissette nearly 10 songs have reached my chart (maybe more then 10)

10.Michelle Wright she hit the chart only one

If I had my chart when "Days Like That" was a hit, that would have made my chart. I'm not from Canada, but I had MuchMusic back then, and I liked that song.

good list, however there is one of those i'd personally be embarrased to have on my list (you don't have to be, but i would) 35.Rita MacNeil I saw her in the airport when I came back to Halifax a few weeks ago. I walked right by her. She's kinda short. Maybe someday I'll make a list as my chart is usually compiled of 20-30% Canadian songs each week so I'm never low on them and my CD collection contains probably the same % of CanCon albums.

I'm not embarrassed to say I charted Rita MacNeil. I have a soft spot for soft AC stuff. And i do like the music that comes from our east coast so naturally she fell right in. what can i say....we all have our own tastes.
