According to RPM Magazine, the biggest song of 1994 in Canada was “All For Love” by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. It was featured in the movie The Three Musketeers which starred Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland. Twenty-four songs from the year-end top 100 chart below involve Canadian artists who have been bolded in red. The top song entirely credited to a Canadian artist was “The Power of Love” by Celine Dion (#10). The Canadian charts are an accurate reflection of Canadian tastes in music, and the Top 100 songs were determined both from radio airplay and nationwide sales data. The drawback with year-end charts is that songs charting from the end of one year through beginning of the next will have their chart performance split between the two years. More year-end and other Canadian charts can be found here.
