I'm not surprised "Stronger" showed up. Pop radio was a given to play it and it wasn't unimaginable that Hot AC stations would play it.

What's this about a takeover?

And no, I'm not surprised. Well, alittle, I guess... I think the song is more rap-sounding than Timbaland's songs have been. How well did 'Golddigger' do?

Astral Media bought Standard Radio, and as such, all Standard stations are now Astral stations. The official takeover date was October 29th.

Not being familiar with many of the Canadian artists that appear on this chart, I was just curious as to why this new owner would not want to continue to play this artist.

Also, I for one am surprised that even the more CHR leaning Canadian Hot AC stations would play Kanye West the way they are!

Of course our U.S. Hot AC stations are finally giving Timbaland his first big hit (well sort of since he doesn't actually do that much on the song!), but that is a much more Hot AC sounding song so that is not a huge surprise. But Kanye really does not belong on either country's Hot AC panel, but I'm surprised at even how many U.S. Hot AC stations are starting to play it. Oh well. I guess mainstream CHR is the new Hot AC!

Ali Slaight was the daughter of Standard Radio head Gary Slaight, and she, in essence, only got played because it was demanded of his stations. In all actuality, she's not all that great, and certainly not something that most stations would choose to play.

Interesting. I see that radio politics are just as prevalent beyond our borders as they are here in the US!

Not that surprised since Canadian Hot AC stations tend to play a few hip-hop songs.
