By FYI Staff

Carrie Underwood’s Cry Pretty debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 28,000 total consumption units and earned the highest sales in the week. This is her third chart-topping album, her first since Blown Away in May 2012, and is the second country album to reach the top of the chart in 2018– following Keith Urban’s Graffiti U in May.


The number one album from the past two weeks, Eminem’s Kamikaze, drops to second place, but still picks up the week’s highest on-demand streams and digital song sales. Drake’s Scorpion slides down one spot, to 3, and Travis Scott’s Astroworld holds at 4.

Following his Polaris Prize victory, Jeremy Dutcher’s Wolastogiyik Lintuwakonawa enters the chart at 83 with a 600% consumption increase. The album is the 11th highest-selling title in the week.

Eminem’s “Killshot” debuts at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart, marking it as is his sixth digital chart-topper and first since “The Monster” in November 2013.
