Arkells' Album Is An Instant Hit
Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon holds at No. 1 for the second straight week but the big hit of the week is Hamilton's celebrated band Arkells' Campfire Chords (pictured), a stripped-down collection of fan and band favourites that marks the first album for the band since directly signing with UMC.

The remainder of the top five remains the same as last week, with Taylor Swift’s folklore at No. 2, Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die at 3, Harry Styles’ Fine Line at 4 (with the highest digital song download total for the week), and DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby at 5.
