In 2012 Trooper songwriters Ra McGuire and Brian Smith were awarded SOCAN’s prestigious ‘National Achievement Award’ to acknowledge their significant and lasting contribution to Canada’s songwriting legacy. In celebration of the band’s 35th anniversary, a totally updated and re-mastered collection – Hits From 10 Albums – was released, featuring songs spanning the entirety of their recording career. Trooper’s ten studio albums have earned multiple gold and platinum awards and their 6x Platinum greatest hits, Hot Shots, continues to be one of Universal Music Canada’s best-selling catalog CDs and one of the country’s most enduring party soundtracks. Then, as now, what makes Trooper what they are is great performances and great pop songwriting. In 2023 they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Universal Music acknowledges Trooper as “one of Canada’s top five selling bands of all time” and the Vancouver Sun has called them “Canadian rock heroes of the first order … the best-performing band in Canada”. It goes like this: millions of records, a couple dozen hits, a Juno Award for Band of the Year and ongoing sold-out shows across Canada.
