Carly Rae Jepsen
You know it, you secretly love Carly Rae Jepsen or one of her songs. It’s hard not to. Her upbeat bubble gum pop, catchy tunes, and quirky style get stuck in your head, that dreaded earworm. Yes, it’s that one that’s playing in a shopping centre right now, or it could be one of many from her catalogue.
Call Me Maybe 10th Annervisery
Would you believe “Call me maybe” is 10 Years Old, Yep it is, and if you’re a fane you can get merch here? Again like any overnight success, it took some work, Call me maybe was actually from her second album.
Prior to releasing albums, CRJ placed third on Canadian Idol, which she says was the best possible outcome, enough exposure without the devil contract at the end.
CRJ first single, a cover of John Denver’s Sunshine on my shoulder was released in 2008.
Her first single from her second album, “Call me maybe” was released in 2011, in 2012, Fellow Canadian Justin Bieber promoted the single on Twitter, and the rest is history.

After multi-platinum Grammy, Juno and Polaris Prize nominated singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen released her critically acclaimed album E·MO·TION in 2015, it became “a modern touchstone for a new crop of pop-leaning artists and legacy acts,” as NPR noted. The album also inspired an abundance of memes — extending the cultural cachet that Jepsen earned from the ubiquity of her GRAMMY® -nominated blockbuster hit “Call Me Maybe” (from her U.S debut album Kiss), which not only climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries, sold over 20 million singles worldwide, and was certified Diamond in the U.S., but was referenced by everyone from former secretary-of-state Colin Powell to Cookie Monster.
