As long as she's Canadian, you may! (she is)

[matteeeb]

I will start working on this tonight!

Am I ranking the whole list, or just 50 of my favourite artists on the op?

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Just a top 50 of favourites. Any Canadian act is eligible. Most I could think of are in the op but a few posts over the last week have included some I've missed, so those are eligible also.

[Mirago]

I like this idea! Gonna try to commit.

[aerodynamite]

fuck I forgot to include Kaytranada :(

You can edit your list too.

Edited lists will be allowed as long as I'm accepting new ones. Mostly because names have been added to the list over time so in the chance you spot an artist you didn't think of that you'd want to include, you can.

[aerodynamite]

I'm sure I'll keep thinking of other artists, even after the deadline.

Let's be real, this is a 2-way race between Celine Dion and Shania Twain!

(Not that others here are not awesome too. They just have the insane killer combo of being both Canadian and universally recognizable :) )

Ha - my initial thought went to The Weeknd, but your two seem to rule more.  

[jtd Thee Stallion]

I knew 45 artists so I just filled in the rest with some of you guys'/my own suggestions lol.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Only a few days left to go! I'll do the reminder post with all the tags later today.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Official deadline is tomorrow! Unofficially, you'll probably have a few extra days. I plan on starting this likely in a week from now.

This list will forever be Pulse's Picks for the Top Canadian Artists. Undisputed! So add your voice!!!

Deadline June 20!

I am down to the M's, and have 10 spaces left.
This is not going well!
Am I permitted to add singers/bands not on the list?
(Melissa Auf Der Maur springs to mind)

[Leo ✔]

I believe this is the first rankdown in months where I sent my list before the deadline lmao

Did I miss her? Followed The Waves is a classic! Yes, you can add her.

[janinho]

What about own suggestions? I just knew 48 artists and I don't want Drake and Kiesza in my list

As long as they're Canadian artists. I tried to include every one I could think of but I know I missed some so write-ins are allowed.

[Mirago]

I forgot about Beast! Love this track. 

[Leaf]

On the off chance someone includes Dallas Smith in their list, he's the lead singer of Default but has gone country as of late.

That's good to know. And I didn't know that! Will edit the list just in case. ;)

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Up to 18 submissions now! :'( I'm so pleased! :'( You guys sure know how to make an old lady happy!

[Sambalada]

My list is coming! Wait up!

I'll wait! Tell everyone else to get on it too! I'm getting antsy!

[born]

Finally made my 50-artist list (10 of them aren't in the official list but I'm adding them anyway). I'll start working on the rankings tonight!

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

This is probably the last reminder. (not really, let's be really)

Official deadline is tonight! I'm going to take a nap and when I wake up, I'll submit my rankdown for the Shania one and then probably start diving into the results! I can't wait! I hope I can even sleep I'm so excited! I'll probably still accept any latecomers for a few days because I'm generous like that.

I will be skipping this one.

[born]

I'm not gonna make the deadline but you'll probably have my list by tomorrow might.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I've tabulated what I have so far!! So exciting!! 21 lists!

I'm going to wait a bit longer (meaning if you haven't sent your list in yet, there's still time!) because I want to figure out how I want to display everything. There's no standard deviations for stats, which I know everyone loves, because not every artist is on every list but there are other fun stats to refer to instead.

[born]

Is it okay if I rank some of the artists based solely on their music instead of taking their style & social image into consideration?
