[mplpost] CANADIAN'S MONTHLY AIRPLAY: JULY TO SEPTEMBER

[Vic Bell]

Here's the third quarter of monthly top ten lists representing 2002 
Canadian airplay in the U.S. as tallied from playlists sent to the 
folkdj-l listserve.  The numbers, as always, are provided thanks to 
Harry Bryan's great eyes.

Performers listed as "first" under "this year" are making their first 
appearance on the top ten lists since I began the count in March of 
'96.

Some longstanding consecutive airplays finally topped out.  Stan 
Rogers failed to make the list in July after 44 consecutive months, 
the current record, and likely to remain so for quite awhile.  In 
September, Fred Eaglesmith got bumped after 18 consecutive months.

Enoch Kent made an impressive debut on the lists with James Keelaghan 
being the only other performer, so far this year, to rank #1 more 
than once.

cheers,  Vic
