Canada: Indie Boosts Quebec Acts

By LARRY LEBLANC
Publication: Billboard
Date: Saturday, April 3 2004
In contrast to English Canada, Quebec has a more centralized industry, with distribution of domestic—primarily French-language—product handled by a single distributor/retailer, Groupe Archambault.

Its subsidiary Distribution Select distributes about 90% of the independent

French-language labels in Quebec. As a result, Quebec's top stars primarily have independent ties.

This includes Isabelle Boulay, Lynda LeMay, Daniel Bèlanger, Natasha St-Pier, Jean Leloup, Eric LaPointe, Veronic Dicaire, Marie-Chantal Toupin, Marie Denise Pelletier, Nicola Ciccone, Laurence Jalbert and Les BB.
