There is absolutely no way I could do a Maple Leaf March this year without including the pride of Calgary, Tate McRae, who had been up to 2023 something of a minor hit artist outside of Canada.
Then came "greedy". This female empowerment anthem, co-written by McRae, hit #3 on the US pop charts and was a #1 hit elsewhere in the world. It is, by far, her biggest hit, both inside and outside Canada.
By the way, this is an active hit song. As of this publication, it's currently rising back up the Billboard charts, at #6 THIS WEEK on the US Hot 100, #5 on the Canadian Hot 100.
The song is also a 2024 nominee for Single of the Year at the Juno Awards next weekend - one of three for which she's been nominated (Artist of the Year, Fan's Choice).
Also, driving a Zamboni. Iconic. She's clearly a fan (she even wears goalie pads on the album cover).

Keeping with the hockey theme, McRae performed during the intermission at the 2024 NHL All Star Game in Toronto - including this song, of course.
It's a pretty clean performance, which we'd expect at a sporting event.
I watch a lot of live videos before I choose the ones I want to share with you - and I'm picking this Today Show performance. Why? It's less clean than others have been - and she can clearly sing, even without the Autotune so clearly foisted onto her.
