    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

  • Song and Nationalism in Quebec
    Song and Nationalism in Quebec [originally published in Contemporary French Civilization, Volume XXIV, No. 1, Spring /Summer 2000] The québécois national mythology is dependent on oral culture for sustenance. This orality, while allowing a popular transmission of central concepts, also leaves the foundations of a national francophone culture exposed to influence by the anglophone forces that dominate world popular culture. A primary example is song, which has been linked to a nationalist impulse in Quebec for over thirty years. What remains of that linkage today? Economic, cultural, political and linguistic pressures have made the role of song as an ethnic and national unifier increasingly ambiguous, and reflect uncertainties about the Quebec national project itself, as the Quebec economy becomes reflective of global trends toward supranational control. A discussion of nationalism must be based on a shared understanding of the term. Anthony Smith distinguishes between territorial and ethnic definitions: territorially defined nations can point to a specific territory and rule by law; ethnies, on the other hand, add a collective name, a myth of descent, a shared history, a distinctive culture and a sense of solidarity to the territorial foundation. If any element among these is missing, it must be invented. This “invention” should not be seen as a negative or devious attempt to distort the present or the past; it is part of the necessary constitution of a “story” which can become the foundation for a national myth-structure. As Smith notes: "What matters[...] is not the authenticity of the historical record, much less any attempt at 'objective' methods of historicizing, but the poetic, didactic and integrative purposes which that record is felt to disclose" (25).

  • Molecular Imaging of Cardiac Amyloidosis
    Current Cardiology Reports (2019) 21: 12 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11886-019-1097-9 NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY (V DILSIZIAN, SECTION EDITOR) Molecular Imaging of Cardiac Amyloidosis Matthieu Pelletier-Galarneau1,2 & Gad Abikhzer 3 & Genevieve Giraldeau4 & Francois Harel1 Published online: 28 February 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this review is to give an update on the molecular imaging tools currently available as well as to discuss the potential roles and limitations of molecular imaging in cardiac amyloidosis. Recent Findings Molecular imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. It can be used to diagnose and distinguish between the different types of cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnostic properties of bone scintig- raphy are such that it allows reliable diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis without the need of endomyocardial biopsy in a significant proportion of patients. Furthermore, molecular tracers assessing amyloid plaque burden and sympathetic innervation may be useful for the non-invasive evaluation diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. Summary Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-recognized cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure in the elderly. The role of molecular imaging in cardiac amyloidosis is expected to grow considering the arrival of new therapies and molecular imaging probes. Keywords Positron emission tomography . SPECT . Cardiac amyloidosis . Transthyretin . Bone scintigraphy Introduction tissue by amyloid [3].
