I’m trying to keep up with one daily blog post per day… but I have a pretty busy life, so I may slip from time-to-time (not much time is spent at home).  You might not guess it from my blog, but I don’t have much time to watch TV.  However, the “on-the-run” version of the internet keeps me in the loop with news, snippets and subjects of interest.

So, this post will be a bit of a filler, but it’s still pertinent if you want to keep in touch with what’s hot right now in francophone music.  I encourage Anglophones of all stripes to incorporate bits and pieces of our country’s francophone culture into their own lives as part of their own Canadian culture and identity.

The following list is the result of “averaging” Francophone hit-music countdowns from several radio stations.   Basically, it’s the top of the charts of Francophone music in Québec and Canada at this moment.   Some of these tunes are great to listen to when cruising down the highway or doing chores around the house.

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll surely recognize a few names in this countdown list.
