One of them was Jim Cuddy’s 2006 song “Pull Me Through,” which played under a tribute to gold medal skaters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. The exposure helped debut the song at 7 on the Digital Songs chart.

In a quiet week for major new releases there is little movement in the top ten on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with the Black Panther soundtrack spends a second week at number one, with over 11,000 total consumption units. The album once again scores the top sales total and highest audio-on-demand stream total for the week.


Ed Sheeran’s Divide holds at 2, Migos’ Culture II rebounds 4-3, trading places with Justin Timberlake’s Man Of The Woods, and Camila Cabello’s Camila edges 6-5.

Four new releases debut in the top 50, with LA rapper Nipsey Hussle’s Victory Lap, at 22; American folk-rock act Brandi Carlile’s By The Way I Forgive You, at 27; Floridian rapper Kodak Black’s Heart Break Kodak, at 34; and the 6-song The Launch Season 1 EP at 37.
