Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.
I was curious to see how much of my current playlist is occupied by Canadian artists, so I classified each artist by country. Groups in which members are from several countries are generally classified either by the country of residence or as International when I wasn’t sure. As it turns out, over 10% of the artists and tracks are from Canadian artists. Here is the distribution:
