  • Nielsen Music 2017 Year End Music Report Canada
    NIELSEN MUSIC 20I7 YEAR-END MUSIC REPORT CANADA 1 INTRODUCTION The music industry in Canada has never been stronger, with record consumption, growing live music attendance and a new class of emerging artists. Nielsen Music has also had an amazing, transformative year. Technological advancements and new partnerships have allowed us to provide robust, comprehensive data in more accessible, customizable and useful ways in 2017. Over the past year, we received a record number of requests for Nielsen Music research and insight reports. Welcome to the Nielsen Music Year-End Report, which examines the trends that shaped the Paul Shaver Canadian music industry in 2017 with definitive consumption figures and charts. Vice President/ Head of Nielsen Music Canada Overall consumption of albums, songs and On-Demand Audio streaming grew 13.6% year-over- year. On-Demand Audio streaming offset decreases in track and album sales and, on December 3, for the first time in history, it surpassed the 900 million per week mark. Ed Sheeran led all artists in Canada with overall consumption and had the top-selling album of the year. Six Canadians had No. 1 albums on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart in 2017, including The Weeknd’s Starboy, Drake’s More Life, Arcade Fire’s Everything Now, Shania Twain’s Now, Pierre Lapointe’s La Science Du Coeur and Gord Downie’s Introduce Yerself. The passing of Gord Downie captured the nation’s attention. In the week following his death, The Tragically Hip’s overall consumption increased by 1,000% over the previous week. Also, six of the group’s albums re-entered the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

This is a true copy of the MRP and the research poster, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I authorize Ryerson University to lend this major research paper and/or poster to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I further authorize Ryerson University to reproduce this MRP and/or poster by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP and/or my MRP research poster may be made electronically available to the public. ABSTRACT Celebrities and fans have been researched by scholars throughout the years, with differing opinions regarding their characteristics and relationships. Prior to the development of the internet, fans were characterized by scholars as deranged, hysterical and passive. Their relationships with celebrities were seen as exclusively one-sided and parasocial. Conversely, since the development of the internet fans have been characterized more favourably as active participants. In this paper, I perform a textual analysis of Twitter conversations between bands/artists and fans in an attempt to better understand if and how celebrity-fan interactions have changed from early scholarly interpretations.

  • The Arkells Are a Contemporary Indie Rock Band That Have Just Began to Make Their Appearance on the Stage of Modern Rock
    “Arkells’ Gradual Rise to Fame” by Jake Goode “It’s a weird time to be a rock band right now,” - Max Kerman Formed in Hamilton, Ontario; the Arkells are a contemporary indie rock band that have just began to make their appearance on the stage of modern rock. The band debuted their first professional album in 2008 called Jackson Square featuring the song “John Lennon”, for the band is heavily influenced by classics like John Lennon, Elton John, and even some Motown. This album earned them an extensive amount of local fame. As a result of their 2014 album High Noon, the Arkells were placed on Billboard’s “Canadian Hot 100” chart at #88. High Noon also earned the band two awards at the 2015 “Juno Awards” for best group, and best rock album. The very same album also saw international success, for the band toured in the U.S. with artists like Sam Roberts, and band such as X Ambassadors. Max Kerman is the group's main vocalist, head lyricist, occasional guitarist, and really the voice of the band. One may say Kerman carries the weight of the band as he’s always in the spotlight; however, it’s easy to overlook the efforts of the other members. At the end of the day each member has an equal contribution to the music they put out. “Everybody gets their hands on the songs from there and we hack away at them until they feel good” explains Kerman. The rest of the band's roster is as follows (left to right).

  • February Issue
    1 FEBRUARY 2017 Five-Period Days: Not So Bad? Why we should stop complaining about next year’s schedule By: Reggie English While wandering the halls during lunch or before school, there's one big thing I've noticed. I can't not watch the ground. There are so many legs, lunches, backpacks and textbooks just sitting on the ground. There are students trying to eat and do homework on the ground where they're being stepped on constantly. The school is required, by law, to provide enough seating area for students to eat lunch and that just isn't the case here at Westdale. There’s a lot of talk about the 5 period system that is being implemented in September of 2017 and the one thing I have to ask is, who does this benefit? Who gains from having this implemented? The answer is simple: it benefits everyone. I've had this discussion more than once and there seem to be a number of concerns that remain the same. "What about extra-curricular courses?" This will depend on the teachers. They don’t owe you extra-curricular activities and if you really want them that bad, why don't you organize them yourself rather than wait for a teacher to do it? There are many programs at Westdale that are doing this and it works wonders. You can reschedule them for after or before school if you really want them . (Five Period Day is continued on page 4) In this issue . Westdale Theatre, Westdale Village’s iconic cinema, is being put up for sale for 1.8 million dollars.
