CanCon Queens: 80s Edition
Big hair, bold voices, and unstoppable style—welcome to the era of neon dreams and fierce Canadian femmes. CanCon Queens: 80s Edition celebrates the trailblazing women who ruled the airwaves, dancefloors, and MuchMusic screens throughout the decade. From synth-pop sparkle to power ballad glory, this playlist brings together the essential female-fronted sounds that defined 1980s Canadian music.
Featuring iconic chart-toppers and underground gems, CanCon Queens pays tribute to a generation of performers who broke boundaries and redefined pop, rock, dance, punk, and metal on their own terms. Whether you’re rediscovering forgotten 45s or reliving your youth, this is your backstage pass to the fierce, fearless, and fabulously Canadian women of the ’80s.
Press play and step into the shoulder-padded spotlight. The Queens are ready.
