Echos from the polls

We don't fancy ourselves modern Marconis, but the Pop Sirius Player has been pretty influential on our own day-to-day internetting and is proving to be quite an interesting interactive experience. So far, there have been tens of thousands of votes cast by users, some blindly, and some with clear favorites. Just check out the results page to see some of the recent patterns.

We've made some changes in order to allow all the artists and equal chance at being heard and voted for. By limiting the number of songs in rotation to 2 per aritst, we're sure to see more balanced results and a better diversity in the top 20. We've also made a Facebook application to help you spend even more time sifting through the pop.

Here are some of the more recent top 20 artists. There have been some shifts in opinion since the last tally a few weeks ago. Keep an eye on the results page to see new tracks appear, and older ones creep up closer to the top!


Rachel Margaret, San Francisco, CA

Imagine a gene lab accident. Beakers holding the DNA of Bob Mould, Elisabeth Fraser and David Lynch crash to the floor, their contents mixing and recombining... She calls it Acoustic/Synth Pop. Emo/HyperHookHop, Marge, whatever it's called, Rachel Margaret's music is supercharged and gift-twisted.

The Superfantastics, Halifax, NS

The Superfantastics are the Alex P. Keaton of the indie-pop scene. Small in size, big in heart and adorable in a sweater-vest.

Elastocitizens, Toronto, ON

Hard Rock/Heavy Funk, hot wild theatrical show that will set your endorphins soaring, making you dance, sweat and feel alive.

The Pack, Vancouver, BC

Holding the torch high in today's garage rock revival, Vancouver duo The Pack strike with a raw, hell-torn, blues-rock swagger that is equally contemplative and unflinching.


Sunshine State, Toronto, ON

Sunshine State is two friends trying to make sense of life and love in the city . It's fresh acoustic pop with bossa nova , jazz , and soul influences that will make you laugh , cry , and be glad you're alive .
