Hi! I just have a quick question. Canadian music seems really popular in the UK right now and I was wondering why that was… Don't get me wrong. I'm Canadian and I've always been a huge supporter of our music industry. But I just don't see why anybody else would enjoy it. Just curious. Thanks and I hope you have a great day. – Mike from New Brunswick.
