Here's a bit more info on how _Rubberband Girl_ is doing in Canada.
The record stores here in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada have 
Billboard and not the Record magaines.  Go figure.

According to the Oct 16 issue of Billboard, on the Hits of the World
page for Canada, RBG has debuted in the TOP TWENTY, I think at #18.
Billboard claims they are using the most recent Record single SALES chart.
Do you have access to that chart, Fiona?

So it seems that Canadians are buying the RBG cassette single but not
hearing it on radio or seeing it on video as often as they'd like.

Also, on the "CFNY Thursday 30," RBG was at #14, with Jane Siberry's
_Sail Across The Water_, and Sarah McLachlan's _Possession_ occupying lower
chart postitions, as of this past Thursday (Nirvana was #1).

Mike.
