For the unaware, Canadian radio, which we can pick up on this side of the border in Buffalo, is required to play a certain amount of Canadian content - cancon. So some artists are disproportionately represented on the CA stations, or never get crossover play on the US stations at all
And when you can pick up both and don’t play close attention to which you’re tuned into, that’s how we get situations where I’m talking to Americans from other parts of the country like “what do you mean you don’t know Marianas Trench” (multiple platinum in Canada, has never once charted in the US)
