Welcome to the year ender countdown. The countdown is slightly shorter in 2014 but I’m still bringing you the best in Canadian music. The countdown is based on the best albums and a few EPs released in 2014.
There’s somewhat to a theme to 2014 as the role of the female was in the media all year round. From female rights to violence against women. The top 10 has half of the music by women.
Due to the rush in creating the year ender, I didn’t look for any Canadian Hip-Hop albums. Apologies on that front.
Here’s the full playlist from the two parter as well as the audio part of the countdown.
Happy New Year!
