Worst Canadian Music Artists

The Top Ten
1 Shawn Mendes Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter and model. He attracted a following in 2013, when he began posting song covers on the popular video sharing application Vine.
2 Celine Dion Céline Marie Claudette Dion is a Canadian singer and businesswoman. She is best known for her song "My Heart Will Go On", which is the main theme of the 1997 film Titanic, which was the first film to gross $1 billion at the box office.

As much as I love some of the artists on this list, I must agree here. Her voice is annoying.

Absolute Canadian horridness taken to the next level.

She's a ROCK singer not crossover

3 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

He's technically not a Canadian Music Artist. He began his career in the US and he is an American citizen. It depends on how you look at it.

How is she number 9 she should be number 1 and Carly Rae jepson should be number 2 Avril Lavinge should be number 3 and nickelback should be number 4

Our plan is to send Justin to another universe without oxygen!

"Baby" is okay. But the rest of his music is AWFUL. He RUINED "Bad guy"

4 Serena Ryder

She's great pretender too, ripping off Chrissie hynde

As bad as Celine Dion for number 1.

5 Sarah McLachlan Sarah Ann McLachlan is a Canadian singer and songwriter known for her emotional ballads. As of 2009 she had sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
6 Nickelback Nickelback is a Canadian post-grunge band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. The band is composed of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.

I hate this band and I'm not even Canadian. If you want better Canadian bands to listen to I highly recommend: Red, Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman and My Darkest Days. Their far more better than this! Chad Kroger sucks at singing and sounds like he's dying when he sings god I hope this band dies.

Nickelback sucks

10 D-Pryde

I think he is a Drake wannabe.

The Contenders
11 MAGIC! Magic!, originally stylized as MAGIC!, is a Canadian reggae fusion band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

They made two bad songs and BOOM! They are popular.

You ruined Bohemian Rhapsody.

Even if you don't like her music you can't ignore that she's a gifted and talented singer-songwriter. Her many fans all over the world proves that the statement of being one of the worst Canadian artists is ridiculous to say. VOTE her OUT of here!

Hey she have a best voice.. Her lyrics are heart touching... She is my favee... you should listen to her songs once

She makes nonsensical garbage all the time.

At least she is very beautiful.

16 The Tragically Hip The Tragically Hip, often referred to simply as The Hip, are a Canadian rock band from Kingston, Ontario, consisting of lead singer Gordon Downie, guitarist Paul Langlois, guitarist Rob Baker, bassist Gord Sinclair, and drummer Johnny Fay.

Drivel for over 20 years. They were an average bar band at their peak in 1994 and have equalled Nickelback's incompetence every year after.

Thank god he is dead now

17 Bryan Adams Bryan Guy Adams is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, photographer, philanthropist and activist.

Post Jim Valance has been a waste of Canadian time and attention. Retire already!

18 Carly Rae Jepsen Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter from Mission, British Columbia, and later based in Vancouver. She is best known for her hit song "Call Me Maybe" which topped many charts in 2012.

She makes nonsensical garbage all the time.

23 Rush Rush was a Canadian progressive rock band that was formed in 1968. The band has had an iconic lineup since 1975, which included Neil Peart (Drums, Percussion), Geddy Lee (Vocals, Bass, Keyboards), and the guitarist, Alex Lifeson. Peart passed away after a 3 year battle with brain cancer in January of 2020. Because of this, Lee says there are no plans to keep the band going, so Rush is most likely defunct. The band has become one of the most well-known progressive rock bands in the world, with such albums as "2112", "Hemispheres" and "Moving Pictures". More than half of their albums have gone gold or platinum, as certified by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America).

No
These guys rock
So what are they doing on a worst list

They are the best thing to come out of Canada after maple syrup

Read the lyrics to The Trees. TAXING everyone at the same rate (a flat tax) somehow is an improvement?

24 Jessie Reyez

If someone put Limp Bizkit and Shawn Mendes in a blender and gave that person a transgender operation and gave her a truly horrible voice

The worst voice in all of humanity, her music is an atrocity
