Tate McRae’s ‘Housewife' Becomes Her Longest-Running No. 1 Hit in Canada
The Calgary-born singer’s latest single is in its third week at No. 1 the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, surpassing her previous record of two weeks at No. 1 with 2023’s “Greedy.”

Tate McRae has hit a new milestone in her home country.
The Calgary-born pop star’s hit “Housewife” is at No. 1 for a third week on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100, dated Nov. 14. That feat surpasses the singer’s previous record of two weeks at No. 1 with “Greedy” in 2023.
"Housewife" is a female empowerment pop anthem in which McRae boldly sings about “a woman who can’t be contained." The track made its live debut at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and has since become one of her biggest hits.
While McRae was born in Canada, she now resides in the U.S., where the track has yet to reach the top spot. On the Billboard Hot 100, she sits below Ella Langley's “Choosin' Texas,” which stays at No. 1 the chart for a record-breaking 27th week, and Michael Jackson's "Thriller," which has surged to No. 2 following Halloween.

McRae’s star power has reached global listeners, though, with “Housewife” also maintaining the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 for a third week.
Owen Riegling, Josh Ross and Devon Cole Debut New Tracks
This week, many Canadian artists are faring well on the Canadian Hot 100.
Rising country star Owen Riegling arrives at No. 80 with “Me Without My Hometown,” the latest entry from the Mildmay, Ontario-born, Nashville-based artist.
Five spots down, fellow Ontario country act Josh Ross debuts at No. 85 with “Drink Things Through.”
At No. 92, Devon Cole is a “Serial Kisser” with her second-ever entry on the chart, following 2024’s “I Got You.”
Faouzia, James Barker Band and Naomi Sharon Reach New Peaks
Hot on the heels of the announcement that the Moroccan-Canadian singer Faouzia will accept the Breakthrough Award at Billboard Canada Women in Music ceremony, she climbs from No. 64 to No. 58 with “Unethical." Her debut chart entry, the song has built some serious momentum on social media, streaming services and the live stage, where clips of her virtuosic vocals have gone viral online.

Country group James Barker Band’s “After Dark” creeps up eight spots to No. 61, and honourary Canadian Naomi Sharon climbs from 77-63 with “Was It Ever Love.” While Sharon is Dutch and Caribbean, she is signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label in Canada.
Gracie Abrams Re-Emerges on Both Billboard Canada Charts
Later this month, Gracie Abrams will release a deluxe version of her chart-topping album, Daughter From Hell. The first taste of the extended project, “Here You Come, There You Go,” debuts at No. 45 on the Canadian Hot 100, nearly 30 spots higher than its No. 73 debut on the U.S. Hot 100. Further down, Aubrey Hobert, a frequent Abrams collaborator, rises 85-79 with her solo hit “Sue Me.”
The pair worked on “Minibar,” a track from the standard edition of Daughter From Hell, which also re-enters the Billboard Canadian Albums chart at No. 54.
Hobert’s collaborations with Abrams started on 2024’s The Secret of Us, including “Risk,” “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and the chart-topping track “That’s So True.” The album became Abrams’ first No. 1 in Canada, and rises from No. 71 to No. 65 this week.
Ella Langley and Cameron Whitcomb Remain in the Top 3
While Tate McRae holds down the top spot, Ella Langley remains at No. 2 with “Choosin’ Texas.” Previously, the country hit spent 23 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 and is now the second-longest No. 1 ever in Canada, behind Shaboozey's “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which spent 25 weeks at No. 1. If it can climb back to No. 1 for two more weeks, it would tie the record.

Meanwhile, Canadian singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb is still vying for No. 1 — as he told Billboard Canada in the summer — with “Kingdom of Fear,” but remains at No. 3, a spot he has held for multiple weeks.
