The university announced Tuesday that Keillor’s gift, which will include a bequest in her will, will be used to create the Helmut Kallmann Chair for Music in Canada, which will work with undergraduate and graduate students and research topics of Canadian music. The endowed position, named after the former head of the music division at Library Archives Canada, will also be supported by the Koerner Foundation – Peter Hum, Ottawa Citizen

With ‘HABIBTI,’ Drake Sets New Record For Most No. 1 Albums on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

The superstar breaks from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the crown.

Drake expands to his arsenal of records on Billboard’s charts, claiming the trophy as the artist with the most No. 1 titles on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart outright. The hitmaker’s HABIBTI rockets to the summit after the release of its HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe edition to secure his 18th champ, breaking from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the highest total among all acts since the list launched in January 1965.

HABIBTI (FOMO) dropped on Oct. 2, adding four new cuts – “Solar Eclipse” (with Don Toliver), “Quebec,” “Cold Shoulder” (with Don Toliver and Yebba) and “Classic Pt 2” – to the album’s original 11-song track list. Spurred by its expansion, the album soars 35-1 to lead the list dated Oct. 17, with 71,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States for the tracking week of Oct. 2-8, according to Luminate, up 506% from its total the prior week. (All versions of the album are combined for data tracking and chart purposes.)
