Adele’s 30 debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, achieving a sweep of highest album sales, on-demand streams and digital song sales for the week. It is her third consecutive chart-topping album. 30 surpasses Drake’s 2018 album Scorpion for the highest one-week consumption unit total since MRC Data began factoring in streams and digital song sales with album sales in 2016 and it has the highest one-week album sales since P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma in November 2017. The two other No. 1 albums from Adele are in the top 30 this week, with 25 at 22 and 21 at 27.

The Weeknd’s ‘Call Out My Name’ Video Reaches 1 Billion YouTube Views

The song was released back in 2018.

The Weeknd added yet another music video to YouTube’s Billion Views Club, as the “Call Out My Name” visual surpassed the milestone. The achievement marks the star’s sixth music video to surpass one billion views.

In the 2018 clip, The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) wanders an empty road at dusk, before bats explode from his head at the chorus. “So call out my name/ Call out my name when I kiss you so gently/ I want you to stay,” he sings in the hook.
