GBS are going to the White House!

Thanks to all of your votes, Great Big Sea's "Ordinary Day" made CBC Radio 2's Top 49 songs to send to Obama! They're in very good company - the list ranges from all styles and places in Canada. Congrats, guys!

You need to get your facts straight. The CBC list isn't going to the White House because CBC is a Crown Corp, and can't send gifts to foreign heads of state. The whole thing was a what if? IF there was a list of the top songs you wanted Obama to hear what would they be. It's still cool but it's not what you're saying.

Oh by all means, don't let anything as trivial as the facts get in your way. Sigh.

Great voting team! I love the tune and did my part.

I seriously doubt that sitting round listening to 49 representative Canadian songs would be top of President Obama's agenda. The man is on a mission, and there are couple pressing matters to attend to. GObama! ;)

"Way hey hey it's just an Ordinary Day and it's all your state of mind at the end of the day you just have to say..." :)

Even if it is just a "what if"...there are worse things that Obama could be listening to when making those big diplomatic decisions.

As an American that voted for both Obama and Ordinary Day...I say...

Congrat to making the list boys, because I am sure there are a lot of artists that wish they had made even the "what if" list...

BRAVO !

Yes, I also took so much joy in voting throughout the week-
       while sick as a dog with the flu !
What an honor to be in such great musical company.  

I'm gonna believe -some day, some way this great musical collection  
        will find a way into Obama's ears !

I love your music and hope you have a long and successful career. I live in a little town in Nova Scotia and I love good country and rock music along with many other genres. It's nice to see a down east band make it big in the music world. I enjoy writing and I have written a few songs, many poems and a few short stories. I'm a person fighting through his days with severe arthritic deterioration in my ankles and knees so I'm trying to write about the positive and negative aspects of living with disabilities. I belong to a group from Halifax called EDNN Entrepreneurs with Disabilities National Network and through this help group we try to assist each other to be the best we can be. Thanks for being a good listen.
