From today's edition of the Montreal Gazette (local newspaper):

This isn't from college radio charts; it's from retail record sales.
Is (Warp-labelled) IDM breaking into the mainstream?
(I know that some Warp singles have charted in the UK before.)
Or is the explanation more mundane? e.g. the "Montreal Metro" area just
happens to be more receptive to electronica, or sales of
pop-music/mainstream *singles* are so low that electronica singles
manage to chart.
