CBC Music's Toyota Searchlight 2021 began back in April, with thousands of Canadian musicians from every province and territory entering their best original song. Your votes were cast and counted, we listened to every single song, and you helped us pick our national Top 100.

After another week of voting with extremely close results, we have whittled that list of 100 artists down to the best of the best: the Top 10 finalists for CBC Music's Toyota Searchlight 2021, our hunt for Canada's best undiscovered musical talent.
