Welcome to a special HEATED RIVALRY Edition of Encore, where we celebrate the most popular songs featured in the hit CRAVE Original Series!

This week - we’ve got the story behind ANOTHER one of the most beloved songs to feature in the series - TATU’S 2002 Hit ‘All The Things She Said’ and it’s modern reimagining by Harrison!

A bit of viewer discretion off the top - the story of this song is quite the dark one, with twists and turns and controversy that has seen the track become mired in urban legend long before Heated Rivalry foisted it into the spotlight in its fourth episode. And we’re going to talk about all of it so buckle up...

Welcome to a special Heated Rivalry edition of Encore, where we take you behind the songs you love from the show you love more than just about anything. This week we look at Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe In Anything,” a song that has become a hit 20-plus years after its original release.

In case you’re one of the many Heated Rivalry fans who discovered Wolf Parade through that HUGE MOMENT that occurs in the INCOMPARABLE episode 5, I’m here to tell you all about how they went from starting the band in a small Montreal apartment to being featured on the soundtrack of the TV series everyone has been talking about.

Welcome to a special HEATED RIVALRY Edition of Encore, where we celebrate the most popular songs featured in the hit CRAVE Original Series!

This week - we’ve got the story behind one of the most beloved songs in the series - Feist’s 2007 banger ‘My Moon My Man’

While the song has certainly taken the world by storm thanks to the pivotal and LONG scene in Episode 4 of Heated Rivalry, every Millennial on the planet knows that My Moon My Man is not the first time a perfectly-positioned Feist song has entered the worldwide zeitgeist.

Formed in Vancouver by Trevor Guthrie, David Bowman and Ken Lewko, Indecision would sign with Universal Music and rebrand themselves as soulDecsion (lowercase S, uppercase D) in 1999 as to avoid conflict with an American band who had already squatted on the name.

Styled and Marketed as a boyband for their year 2000 debut album ‘No One Does it Better’ soulDecision were absolutely not one when it came to their sound, or their overall musical ethos.

This is the story of their massive hit 'Faded' with newly unearthed audio from the band themselves.

Do you remember when days were like that? More specifically, do you remember Sugar Jones and their song “Days Like That”?

If not, well, you are forgiven. Sugar Jones only existed for a couple years at the beginning of the millennium. But in that short stint they dropped what is widely considered an unforgettable, stone cold, Canadian R&B-pop classic.

Written by Cam Lindsay for iHeartRadio.

Last week on Encore - the CanConCore special edition - we focused on an absolutely absurd teeny-bopper anthem from the year 2000 - and a real crown jewel of obscure Canadian Pop Music - B4-4’s ‘Get Down’.

While it was a wild and wacky song (and video) in its own right - nobody would be rushing to defend it as ‘groundbreaking’ - the three super-tanned members of the group were very clearly chasing the sound of the boyband craze of the late 90s in to early 2000s that was just about to reach its peak.

This week, we’re pulling a full 180 to talk about a song that upon its release in 1997, sounded nothing like anything on the radio waves in that era of music - and quite frankly, still sounds nothing like anything but… itself.

While both super weird in hindsight - there couldn’t be anything more diametrically opposed to the sound of Get Down than this week’s hit: Bran Van 3000’s Drinking in LA.

Welcome to a special episode of Encore where we take a look at some of the iHeartRadio team’s favourite Canadian songs that you may have forgotten about. We’re calling it CanConCore… get it?

This week we have the story of B4-4’s “Get Down”!

Remember the year 2000? If we weren’t worried about Y2K and the millennium bug bringing on the collapse of society we were likely just sitting in our rooms listening to all of the great boy bands that were topping the charts. Because 2000 was the year boy bands reigned supreme. *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, Westlife, O-Town… They were everywhere. And while it’s fair to say that most boy bands came from either the United States or the United Kingdom, I’d like to think Canada had a very memorable boy band of its own.

This is the story of B4-4's 'Get Down' with newly unearthed footage from the band themselves.
