The Kid Laroi scores his first chart-topping album as a new deluxe edition of his 2020 debut release F*ck Love slides 3-1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, picking up the highest on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the week. This is the second deluxe edition for the album, and includes the most streamed song in the country, Stay, a duet with Justin Bieber.


Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour holds at No. 2 and surpasses Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album as the most consumed album so far in 2021. Doja Cat’s Planet Her remains at No. 3; last week’s No. 1 album, Pop Smoke’s Faith, falls to 4th place, and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia edges 6-5.

The top new entry this week belongs to Brit rapper/actor Dave’s We’re All Alone in This Together at No. 18. It is his first charting release after his debut 2019 album Psychodrama failed to chart.

Leon Bridges’ Gold-Diggers Sound comes in at No. 51, the follow-up to his No. 3, 2018 release Good Thing.
