Comment. The chart in question is not Canada's national sales chart, or one of them as there seems to be three that we recognize here (The Billboard Canadian Hot 100 would be the Billboard chart to look for), but there is an Allmusic bio (
[3]),
this, and another brief mention in Billboard
here. Releases seem to be mainly on small labels or self-released (CD BABY). Seems possibly notable but I'm not sure there's enough coverage to have much of an article. --

Keep As far as I can tell, Ricky J also reached #2 on the standard Canadian chart. See
[4] (Michig has also linked this, I see). Even if he had only reached #2 on the singles sales chart, in 2001, he'd be by far notable; that's a huge achievement which inevitably would result in media coverage.

JayCodec, upon further reflection, would you consider withdrawing your nomination?
