A nationwide survey concluded that:. Although the United States is considered a musical hub in the world, it is worth mentioning that Canadian artists are not behind in this race. Likewise, radio and albums, which are some of the classic musical mediums have revolutionized into new technologies such as digital music and streaming or downloads.
