Toronto, October 8, 2020 – Stingray is proud to launch an initiative to support emerging Canadian Talent on its country radio stations.  Starting on Monday, October 12, Stingray country radio stations will introduce The Trending Track into rotation in the following locations :

Every other month the Stingray country team will select a track by an emerging artist to feature. The chosen song will receive two months of support and a minimum of 25 spins per week on the participating stations.  The Trending Track artist will also have the opportunity to do an interview with Paul McGuire for his National Midday and Countdown Shows and receive additional support on station social media and websites. 

To qualify for The Trending Track, the artist must be a Canadian citizen, the song must qualify as Canadian under the CRTC MAPL criteria, and the artist must be an emerging artist who either has not had a song chart or is in the first 18 months since their first song charted on the Canadian Top 50.
