After three weeks out of the top spot, Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the third week. With over 11,000 total consumption units to its credit, the album achieves the highest on-demand stream and digital song download sales total in the seven-day frame.
Three new releases debut in the top ten this week, led by Dave Matthews Band’s Come Tomorrow, at 2. The album, which earns the highest sales total for the week, is their fourth release to reach the top two and is their first charted album since 2012’s Away From The World reached 3.
Kids See Ghosts, the self-titled album project from Kanye West and Kid Cudi, debuts at 3. It is the second straight week featuring a chart debut from Kanye West, who entered at No. 1 last week and falls to 4 this week with Ye. It is Kid Cudi’s highest charting release since 2013’s Indicud peaked at 3.
Dierks Bentley’s The Mountain debuts at 10. It is his third straight top ten album and the follow-up to 2016’s 2 Black, which peaked at No. 2.
