"New Orleans Is Sinking" is a song by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. It was released in November 1989 as the second single from the band's first full-length studio album, Up to Here. The song reached number-one on the RPM Canadian Content chart.[1] It was also the band's first song to chart in the United States.
The song is one of the band's signature songs and still receives consistent radio airplay in Canada.
In a 2000 poll conducted by the music magazine Chart, "New Orleans Is Sinking" was voted the seventh-greatest Canadian song of all time.[4] In 2005, it was named the 16th greatest Canadian song of all time on the CBC Radio One series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version. In 2008, the song was ranked No. 24 on a CFNY-FM (102.1 "The Edge") list of the Top 200 New Rock Songs of All Time.[5] From 2005 to 2016, "New Orleans Is Sinking" was the second best-selling digitally downloaded 1980s song by a Canadian artist in Canada and the best-selling digitally downloaded 1980s song by a Canadian band in Canada.[6]
In October 2005, several radio stations, including CKQB-FM and CHEZ-FM, temporarily stopped playing the song out of sensitivity to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which had devastated the city of New Orleans in early September of that year
