Spotify Wrapped 2025: Canadian Listening Habits and Global Trends Revealed

Spotify has released Canada’s most-played artists, songs, and albums for 2025 as part of its annual Wrapped campaign, offering a comprehensive look at the audio that defined the year. Toronto’s own Drake once again topped the list of the most-streamed artists in Canada, followed by Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd, and Kendrick Lamar. This Canadian dominance extends globally, where The Weeknd and Drake took the third and fourth spots, respectively, behind the number-one ranked Global Top Artist, Bad Bunny, who held the title for the fourth time.

The most-streamed song in Canada for 2025 was “Ordinary” by American singer-songwriter Alex Warren, while the top-streamed album was I’m The Problem by American country music star Morgan Wallen. Significantly, Spotify observed a major surge of interest in Francophone music, noting a twenty percent listening increase in Quebec and an eleven percent jump across Canada. Pop songstress Charlotte Cardin’s “Feel Good” was the top French-Canadian song, and rock band Les Cowboys Fringants claimed the top Francophone artist spot, solidifying a powerful regional audio movement

  1. The continued dominance of Toronto artists Drake and The Weeknd, who rank in the top five both in Canada and globally, demonstrates that Canadian talent remains an unparalleled cultural export. This indicates a consistent local pride and global appeal that anchors Canada’s pop and rap consumption, even amid a surge of international competition.
  3. The top lists show a high degree of genre mixing, particularly the simultaneous popularity of American Country (Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem as the top album), mainstream Pop (Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga), and the increasing influence of screen-based media (the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack). This suggests the Canadian audience is highly eclectic, with its tastes increasingly driven by viral moments and international media rather than rigid genre loyalty.
  5. The dramatic surge in Francophone music consumption—a twenty percent increase in Quebec and eleven percent nationally—signals a significant cultural revitalization and growing digital presence for French-Canadian artists. This trend highlights the successful integration of regional language music onto the global streaming platform and reinforces the strong cultural identity and growing market share of Quebecois music within the Canadian landscape.

Betpanda: The Ultimate Destination for Next-Level Online Gaming

By Mitch Rice

In the fast-paced world of online entertainment, a new era of gaming has emerged—one where cutting-edge technology meets bold design, seamless usability, and exciting rewards. Standing at the forefront of this evolution is Betpanda, a platform that blends premium casino entertainment with user-first innovation. With its sleek interface, diverse game selection, powerful payment flexibility, and generous promotional ecosystem, Betpanda has quickly become a favorite among players seeking a modern, secure, and rewarding gaming experience.

A Modern Casino Designed for Today’s Players

What sets Betpanda apart is its commitment to creating a gaming environment that feels fresh, fast, and fully connected to the digital lifestyle of its users. Unlike outdated platforms that look and play the same way they did a decade ago, Betpanda Promotions embraces the latest technology to deliver intuitive navigation, crisp visuals, and instant responsiveness.

From the moment you land on the homepage, the platform’s smooth layout draws you into a world where every click is optimized, every game is curated for quality, and every feature is built to enhance player enjoyment. Whether you’re accessing Betpanda from a desktop browser or mobile device, the experience remains consistent, polished, and easy to explore.

A Diverse Game Portfolio Made to Excite

Variety is one of the strongest pillars of Betpanda’s appeal. The platform features a huge selection of games, making it ideal for beginners discovering online gaming as well as seasoned players seeking high-quality entertainment.

The lineup includes:

  • Premium slots with stunning graphics and dynamic bonus rounds
  • Classic table games such as roulette, blackjack, and baccarat
  • Live casino rooms hosted by real dealers in real time
  • Specialty and instant games that deliver fast-paced thrills
  • Featured titles from top-tier software providers
  • High-volatility and jackpot games for players seeking bigger payouts

Betpanda’s catalog is constantly expanding, with new titles introduced regularly to keep gameplay fresh and exciting. No matter your style—strategic, adventurous, casual, or competitive—you can always find something that suits your taste.

Seamless Sign-Up and User-Friendly Features

Betpanda is built with accessibility in mind, allowing players to jump into the action quickly and effortlessly. The registration process is straightforward, account management is simple, and the user dashboard is designed to put all essential features in one place.

Players can easily:

  • Browse games
  • Manage deposits and withdrawals
  • Activate bonuses
  • Check promotional progress
  • Monitor play activity
  • Contact support

Every element of the platform is streamlined to create a smooth, enjoyable experience that keeps you focused on the fun—not the setup.

Promotions and Bonuses That Bring Real Value

One of the biggest reasons players choose Betpanda is its exciting promotional system. This is not a platform that offers a single welcome bonus and disappears—Betpanda constantly rewards players with ongoing benefits that elevate the entire gaming journey.

Among the most popular promotional features are:

Welcome Bonuses

New players are greeted with generous rewards that boost their first deposits or provide free spins, giving them a strong start and extra chances to explore the platform’s games.

Reload Bonuses

Returning customers enjoy periodic promotions that add value to every new deposit, keeping gameplay exciting and continually rewarding.

Free Spins & Game-Based Rewards

Many of Betpanda’s slot promotions include free spins or bonus rounds tied to popular titles, turning every spin into an opportunity for bigger wins.

Loyalty Incentives

Players who stay active on the platform often benefit from exclusive perks such as VIP bonuses, personalized rewards, and enhanced cashback options. These loyal-user benefits create a feeling of long-term value and appreciation.

Fast, Flexible, and Secure Transactions

Another standout feature of Betpanda is its payment flexibility. Modern players expect quick, secure transactions—Betpanda delivers exactly that. The platform supports a wide range of payment methods, including digital assets, making deposits and withdrawals fast and smooth.

Because Betpanda focuses on user security, all transactions are encrypted and monitored. The goal is simple: give players peace of mind and allow them to focus on what matters most—the entertainment.

Mobile Gaming Without Compromise

In today’s on-the-go world, mobile compatibility is essential. Betpanda excels in this area with a mobile-optimized experience that mirrors the quality and performance of desktop play. Whether you’re spinning a slot, playing blackjack, or watching a live dealer game, everything runs beautifully on smartphones and tablets.

No downloads are required—the browser-based interface adapts seamlessly to any screen size, offering convenience without sacrificing speed or visual quality.

A Commitment to Fair, Responsible Gaming

Betpanda understands the importance of safe and responsible gaming. The platform includes built-in features designed to help players stay in control:

  • Deposit limits
  • Session reminders
  • Game-time trackers
  • Self-exclusion tools

These features ensure that every user enjoys the platform in a balanced, enjoyable, and healthy way.

24/7 Support From a Professional Team

No matter how smooth a platform is, great support remains essential. Betpanda offers responsive customer service available around the clock. The support team can assist with account questions, promotions, payments, and technical issues, ensuring players have help whenever they need it.

Why Betpanda Stands Out

Betpanda’s rise in popularity is no accident—it’s the result of smart design choices, a strong focus on user satisfaction, and a commitment to offering value at every step. Players choose Betpanda because it provides:

  • A modern and visually appealing interface
  • Huge game selection
  • Generous and consistent promotions
  • Fast and flexible payments
  • Secure, encrypted transactions
  • Excellent mobile performance
  • Reliable customer support

It’s an all-in-one gaming destination that understands what today’s players want and delivers it with confidence.

Final Thoughts

Betpanda is more than just another online gaming platform—it’s a complete entertainment ecosystem designed to offer excitement, convenience, and meaningful rewards. With its combination of innovation, sleek design, vast game variety, and rich promotional offerings, it has carved out a strong reputation as a top-tier destination for players seeking an elevated online casino experience.

Whether you’re looking to relax with a few spins, dive into strategic table games, or enjoy the thrill of live casino action, Betpanda provides everything you need for a premium and modern gaming adventure.

Liverpool’s Sound City 2026 Drops First Wave Lineup Featuring Westside Cowboy, Brooke Combe, and Teenage Joans

Liverpool’s multi-venue festival of talent discovery, Sound City 2026, has announced its first wave of artists, bringing together indie’s rising stars, punk upstarts, and new pop sensations. Following the rapid sell-out of early bird tickets for the three-day event, Sound City, which opens with the Sound City+ Conference on Friday, May 1, and continues with two days of live music, is demonstrating that its keen talent scouting is sharper than ever. The festival is already welcoming back two previous small-stage artists as headliners this year: Keo and Jalen Ngonda will both perform at the ornate, 3,500-capacity St George’s Hall, setting a high standard for the emerging acts on the bill. This first wave announcement is packed with genre-defying prospects and future figureheads. Bouncing into national recognition after their debut ‘This Better Be Something Great EP’, Manchester four-piece Westside Cowboy leads the charge, heading into 2026 as folkish, infectious indie figureheads. They are joined by Australian powerhouse duo Teenage Joans—Tahlia Borg and Cahli Blakers—who make a stop in Liverpool for the first time during their debut UK tour, promising songs from their album ‘The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest’. Adding fuel to the rock and roll fire, sibling mod duo The Molotovs will arrive for the weekend following the release of their debut album, ‘Wasted On Youth’, in January. The lineup also features buzzed-about London acts Saint Clair and ashnymph, along with Brighton’s complex math-rock risers, SLAG, making for a truly intriguing alternative music compendium.

Sophisticated nu-soul stalwart Brooke Combe returns to Sound City 2026 having previously taken her songbook to overlooked UK towns on the Sound City Tour. She will be joined by similarly exciting and emotive solo artists like Liverpool’s soul-inspired MT Jones and prodigious multi-instrumentalist songwriter Blossom Caldarone. Tik-Tok-borne sensations are also highly represented, with Lincolnshire’s Cherryholt making their debut and guaranteed to draw a huge crowd after their song “Irresistible” caught fire online. The festival also welcomes back hometown heroes Keyside, along with Wigan’s The Lilacs, who bring loud, sing-along crowd-favorites. Sound City’s Managing Director, Becky Ayres, is thrilled, saying: “Sound City has always been about discovering tomorrow’s superstars today: giving artists the platform to grow, connect with audiences, and take their first steps toward global success. This first wave gives a glimpse of the unforgettable experiences waiting for audiences in the world capital of music, Liverpool, in 2026.”

Folk Music Ontario Conference Renamed the Folk Canada Conference

Folk Music Ontario Conference Renamed the Folk Canada Conference

Members of Folk Canada voted unanimously at the 2025 annual general meeting to rename the Folk Music Ontario, Musique Folk de l’Ontario Conference as the Folk Canada Conference. The decision brings the event into full alignment with the current name of the organization.

“We want every member of our Canadian folk community to feel represented in the name we carry and the events we create. To embrace this inclusive vision, we’re excited the fortieth anniversary of our gathering launches the renamed Folk Canada Conference, and look forward to hosting the plurality of our community to celebrate this next chapter” said Folk Canada President Cécile Doo-Kingué.

The changes the organization has taken to transition from Folk Music Ontario into Folk Canada have been incremental. In 2025 Folk Music Ontario and Folk Music Canada finalized a merger process that had been many years in the making – a result of consultation with the membership at a 2019 town hall meeting. Once the new organization name was in place, Folk Canada conducted two surveys of members and conference attendees to gather feedback, which leaned favourably toward the change in conference name. The board was unanimously in favour of bringing the resolution forward, and the membership responded with full support.

The transition to the Folk Canada Conference brings no changes to the event itself. One of the largest music industry gatherings in Canada will continue to take place in Ontario for the foreseeable future. The next two editions were announced at the AGM and will take place in Hamilton, Ontario from October 14-18 in 2026 and October 13-17 in 2027.

“There are many reasons to continue hosting the conference in Ontario. We have amazing partners, members, and stakeholders in the province and it benefits our entire community to provide access to the Ontario music market.” Dennett said at the meeting. Folk Canada currently has six hundred and fifty members, with four hundred and fifty-nine residing in Ontario.

With this announcement also comes the opening of showcase applications for the Folk Canada Conference in Hamilton next October. Artists from across Canada are encouraged to apply. At the most recent conference, artists from every province and territory were selected to perform for the first time in the event’s history. “We were able to truly show what folk music in Canada sounds like from coast to coast to coast. It was an awesome achievement for our event” said Dennett.

For nearly forty years, Folk Canada has played a central role in strengthening Canada’s music ecosystem by supporting artists, industry, festivals, and presenters through year round programs, advocacy, and sector development. Folk Canada’s initiatives include the annual Folk Canada Conference, Developing Artist Program, Developing Presenters’ Program, Festivals’ Retreat, Ontario Folk Music Awards, Refolkus Podcast, international export events, and more.

Folk Canada Conference Dates

  • 2026/10/14 – 2026/10/18 Hamilton, Ontario
  • 2027/10/13 – 2027/10/17 Hamilton, Ontario

cootie catcher Announces New Album ‘Something We All Got’ And Single “Straight Drop”

Toronto outfit cootie catcher announced their new album, ‘Something We All Got’, scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, via Carpark Records. They simultaneously debuted the urgent, jangly lead single “Straight Drop,” accompanied by a playful video directed by Shmutz. Vocalist/bassist Anita Fowl explained that the track emerged from the frustration of vulnerability, noting: “I can fully have a cry in front of strangers while taking the bus but then clam up when I’m in front of people I’m close with. That generally parallels my experience performing live.” This band hypercharges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and giddy electronics, exuding both chaotic energy and gentle feelings. ‘Something We All Got’ is the most vibrant reading of their unique vision yet, featuring unguarded songs of sweetness and nervousness.

The album marks cootie catcher’s first official studio recording, though it retains the band’s sharp edges through time-honored lo-fi methods and personally-sourced samples. The three songwriters—Chavez, Fowl, and Jakupovski—share overlapping concerns, navigating the lines of romantic and platonic relationships, city social scenes, and the zoomed-out challenges of living through late-stage capitalism. The sound is explosive and upbeat, driven by euphoric guitars, bubbly synth lines, and speedy drums constantly colliding. This palpable tension between exhilarating sonics and raw, often uneasy sentiments is integral to their uniqueness, as cootie catcher fearlessly runs full-speed toward every excitement.

Track Listing for ‘Something We All Got’

  1. “Loiter For The Love of It”
  2. “Lyfestyle”
  3. “Straight Drop”
  4. “From Here to Halifax”
  5. “No Biggie”
  6. “Rhymes With Rest”
  7. “Quarter Note Rock”
  8. “Take Me For Granted”
  9. “Wrong Choice”
  10. “Gingham Dress”
  11. “Puzzle Pop”
  12. “Stick Figure”
  13. “Going Places”
  14. “Pirouette”

Nick & June Debut Final Single Ahead of New Album ‘New Year’s Face’

Berlin-based duo Nick & June, featuring Nick Wolf and Suzie-Lou Kraft, debuted their final single, “You Are the Voice That’s Hunting My Soul For a Show,” ahead of their new album, ‘New Year’s Face,’ releasing this Friday. The track, which explores the internal battle between light and dark, was praised by Under the Radar for how it “ebbs and flows beautifully.” Kraft explains the song and the album’s core theme is about accepting the contradictions within ourselves, embracing both the “bright and the dark.”

The new LP, produced by Grammy-winner Peter Katis, is the result of an intimate experiment where the duo, who were ex-romantic partners, rebooted their collaboration in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The ten songs shaped by Wolf and Kraft are both fragile and resilient, exploring the bittersweet beauty of parting and renewal. The album features contributions from The Antlers’ Peter Silberman, majestic brass arrangements by members of The National, and spellbinding strings by Oscar-nominated maestro Owen Pallett.
