Here are the April stats for Canadians' airplay on folkdj-l playlists. This information has been sifted, with permission, from international lists compiled by Richard Gillmann. In April, Richard's lists were based on 13,947 airplays from 136 different DJ's.

The number in brackets indicates the number of plays that album, song or artist received in the month.

April :  Top Canadian Albums
1. Jayme Stone                  "Jayme Stone's Folklife”        (57)
2. Scott Cook                   "Further Down The Line”         (45)
3. Joe Newberry & April Verch   "Going Home”                    (23)
4. Bill & Joel Plaskett         "Solidarity"                    (14)
5. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings    "Kings And Kings"               (13)
`` Andre Brunet                 "La Grosse Maison Rouge”        (13)
`` Rose Cousins                 "Natural Conclusion”            (13)
`` Melisande                    "Les Millesimes”                (13)
`` April Verch                  "The April Verch Anthology”     (13)

Richard Gillmann compiles monthly surveys of international airplay on the folkdj-l listserve. Archives of these can be
found at <http://folkradio.org>    Richard's complete lists can be found on his own website
at <http://www.nwfolk.com> and I have used this source for the information above.

Richard created a couple of programs to analyze all playlists posted to the Folkdj-l list. These programs require that playlists be submitted in a particular format to be counted. Because of this he estimates his programs pick up 60-80% of the total airplays posted. Richard tallies the most popular albums and songs as well as total play for individual performers.  As can be seen, Richard cuts off his album and artist lists at 10 plays and the songs list at 5 plays.

Once again, Richard has consented to my pulling Canadian stats from his lists for which I offer a grateful tip 'o the hat.
