Canadian country music artist Charlie Major has had no shortage of exciting career moments, but being inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame might just be close to the top of the list. The Canadian Country Music Association inducted Charlie Major into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame on Friday night, at the Gala dinner held in Calgary.
Major has been at the forefront of the Canadian country music scene since the early 90’s when he became the first Canadian artist in history to score six Number One hits with his debut album, The Other Side in 1993. Major went on to have nine more chart-topping hits in his career leading him to perform across the world, headlining tours, and connecting with his fans at fairs and festivals.
More than 25 years later, Major has sold nearly half a million records in Canada alone, winning three JUNO Awards, and seven CCMA Awards. The Canadian legend has recorded seven studio albums and has released over twenty singles, continuing with new music on the horizon.
“It is an honour to be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall Of Fame with so many of my heroes and mentors like Ian Tyson, Gordon Lightfoot, The Good Brothers, Terry Carisse and Murray McLauchlan to name a few,” said Major. “I’m sincerely humbled and look forward to celebrating with everyone in Calgary this September.”
