Music in Canada - statistics & facts
The United States is often seen as the global hub for music, but over the years Canada has quietly produced some of the biggest stars in the industry. Canada’s ‘old guard’, musicians like Celine Dion and Neil Young, have passed the torch on to a new generation of Canadian superstars in artists such as Drake and Justin Bieber. Similarly, classic mediums of music consumption like physical albums and radio have given way to new technologies, namely streaming and digital music downloads. Regardless of the medium or the artist, music remains a big part of Canadian culture and the country boasts one of the largest music industries in the world.
