[mplpost] CANADIAN'S AIRPLAY 2000 - part 2

[Vic Bell]

The following chart indicates the number of months in 2000 performers made
the Canadian top 10 airplay lists, which ranked those acts who attained, or
tied for, the most individual airplays in a given month.  Within the lists
there are always oddities, where an act has been singled out for a feature
on one radio show.  Over the long run though, airplay popularity of
particular acts becomes obvious.

It needs to be stressed that a number of Canadian acts, of folk festival
mainstage, and Juno award nomination quality, do not get significant
Folkdj-l airplay.  As discussions on this issue have reinforced, the
probable reason for this is that those performers, or their record
companies, have not serviced U.S. folk radio stations.  I expect that after
the FA conference in Vancouver, a bunch of new Canadian acts will begin to
show up on Folkdj-l playlists.

In the list below, performers preceeded by a * made their first ever
appearance (since March '96) in the top 10.
