Palaye Royale seems to be an American band. According to their Wikipedia, they’re from Las Vegas, NV. I think they should be removed :/
There were a few edge cases, mostly around release dates but also artists that moved around through their careers
This is what I went off of when I decided to include the nomination

Oh fair enough! I didn’t know the dual citizenship part
I had to check that one earlier as well, thanks for looking in to it :))
Great post. Thank you for organizing this so well!
Nice initiative. Thanks for including French and Inuktitut.
Agreed, Quviasukkuvit is beautiful and I’m so glad to have heard it!
If someone wants to put together some playlists, I didn’t have a chance to do that yet. All but one of the songs are on YouTube, so that might be a good place to start.
This is also our first time using LimeSurvey. Hopefully it goes well, and if not then we can learn from it before using it for our Census later
Here’s a youtube playlist.
Thank you so much! Canadian Famous is the one on Bandcamp only, right?
I guess so. If anyone finds a YouTube link I can add it to the playlist
Thanks!🤗
I’m not sure if it was intended, but going to the form for English lets me vote my English favorites then flips to French. Trying to submit nothing it says click again to confirm then changes it’s mind and requires a vote. I’m thankful there were only 5 songs and one I liked. 😅
Yes that was intentional, but I should have been more clear about what each link was. I added this blurb now:

We can also update the confirmation screen for future surveys. Right now it’s set to ‘soft mandatory’, so it will stop you the first time but you can forcibly skip past it at that point. Surveys don’t usually do that, so it might be unnecessarily confusing to use that feature.
Ok. What I mean though is that the “soft mandatory” isn’t. The first attempt to submit produced an “are you sure?” type of error indicating I could still submit, but trying again produced a different error. (And I did try to submit a couple more times just to be sure, before listening through the French songs.)
Oh ok that is odd, thank you for bringing that up
I’ll test that some more before we run another survey on here
