Canadian Artists Are Quietly Dominating the Global Music Scene — And It’s Time People Noticed

Canadian artists are making serious moves on the global stage once again — and it’s not just about new releases. Some of their older songs are re-entering charts and pulling massive streaming numbers, thanks to a wave of renewed fan interest and well-timed performances or trends.

One standout moment recently was the return of “Beauty And A Bèàt” — the 2012 collaboration between Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj. The song has made a surprise comeback on the global Spotify chart, re-entering at #144 with over 1.3 million streams in one day. This kind of rebound is rare, especially for a song that was released over a decade ago, but Bieber’s continued influence seems to be the driving force.

Why Is “Beauty And A Bèàt” Charting Again?

Justin Bieber has been in the spotlight again lately — whether it’s through his viral features, streaming records, or loyal fanbase that never stopped playing his hits. That renewed attention appears to have reignited interest in some of his earlier work, including “Beauty And A Bèàt,” a fan-favorite that brings together pop energy and Minaj’s signature style.

The song’s resurgence shows how strong Bieber’s catalogue remains. It also highlights how collaborations between Canadian pop stars and major global acts still hold power even years later.

The Bigger Picture: Canada’s Influence on Global Music

Canada might not always be the loudest in the room, but the country’s musicians consistently top charts, break records, and shape popular sound. Here are a few artists leading the charge:

Justin Bieber – From his teenage debut to streaming billions, Bieber has stayed relevant in every era of pop. Drake – Arguably the most consistent hitmaker of the past decade, Drake’s presence on global charts has never really faded. The Weeknd – One of the most streamed artists worldwide, with songs that have become modern-day anthems.

These artists are not just charting hits — they’re defining eras, influencing styles, and setting records. And they’re doing it on their own terms, often without the noise or media antics that others rely on.

Are Canadian Artists Underrated?

The numbers speak for themselves, but the spotlight often focuses elsewhere — especially on American artists. Many people don’t even realize just how many of their favorite songs come from Canadian talent. That low-key reputation may work in their favor, though, as they keep putting out quality music without being boxed into any label or trend.

The current wave of streaming success, chart re-entries, and international recognition is making it harder to ignore. Whether it’s through TikTok trends, nostalgic replays, or consistent releases, Canadian artists are showing how powerful long-term fan connection can be.
