Canadian Music Sales Report: Week Ending July 16, 2026

The recent poor air quality situation induced by wildfires last week played havoc with outdoor concerts and music festivals across a wide area of Canada and the U.S.

As reported in Billboard Canada, the high-profile four-day Rock in the Park festival in London, Ontario, was heavily impacted. The festival was forced to end its first night (July 15) ahead of The Lumineers' performance due to the hazardous air quality stemming from the wildfires across Ontario. "As the impact and risk from the nearby forest fires and increasing smoke conditions continue to rise, both our team and The Lumineers have made the difficult decision to conclude the festival following Dylan Gossett's performance," the festival said on social media.
