Drake Remains At No. 1 For A Second Week

By FYI Staff

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy spends its second straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, and again achieving the highest on-demand streams total for the week.


Kanye West’s Donda, The Kid Laroi’s F*ck Love and Doja Cat’s Planet Her hold their positions from last week at Nos. 2 through 4 respectively.

The top new entry this week belongs to Baby Keem’s debut full-length studio album, The Melodic Blue, at 5. This is the American rapper’s first charted album.

Metallica’s multi-platinum self-titled 1991 release moves 113-8, thanks to the 30th anniversary remastered versions of the album. It is the highest chart peak for the album, which was first released in the pre-Canada SoundScan era. The new covers' album, The Metallica Blacklist, featuring songs from the 1991 album interpreted by over 50 different artists, debuts at No. 44.

Kacey Musgraves’ Star-Crossed debuts at 9. It is her second top ten album and first since Pageant Material reached No. 6 in 2015. It surpasses the No. 11 peak of her last album, 2018’s Golden Hour.

The other new entry to land inside the top 50 is Colombian singer-songwriter and rapper J Balvin’s Jose, at 26.
