Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding returns to number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with over 8,000 total consumption units, picking up the highest audio-on-demand streams and digital song downloads total for the week. It is the album’s seventh week at the top of the chart, the most for any album so far in 2019.


Last week’s No. 1 album, Kanye West’s Jesus Is King, drops to No. 2.

The top debut of the week belongs to Montreal’s Half Moon Run, whose latest album, A Blemish In The Great Light, lands at 3, with the highest album sales total of the week. It is their highest-charting album to date, surpassing the No. 4 peak of their last release, 2015’s Sun Leads Me On.

Ed Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaborations Project holds at 4 and Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go, remains at 5. Young Thug’s So Much Fun rebounds 15-9 with a 25% consumption increase.

Other new entries in the top 50 include Miranda Lambert’s Wildcard, at 12, Montrealer Garou’s Soul City, at 27, the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, at 31 and Surrey, BC rapper Merkules’ Special Occasion, at 43.

The holiday season is officially underway as a number of Christmas releases re-enter the chart this week, led by Michael Buble’s Christmas at 30.

Paul McCartney Says Prince Recorded a Beatles Cover That He’d Like to Release: ‘He Plays Some Really Good Guitar On It’

Macca ran down his favorite songs and offered opinions after meeting Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter at a party.

You’d think that after more than 60-plus years of doing press that Paul McCartney would have run out of anecdotes to share. But you’d be wrong. The indefatigable former Beatle and solo superstar managed to pull a doozy out of his hat during a recent chat with Vernon Kay on BBC Radio’s Tracks of My Years show, in which McCartney ran down the ten songs that connected his Liverpool childhood to the Beatles global fame through his wistful new solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

And while it was interesting to hear McCartney, 83, describe how Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-A-Lula” — the first album he ever bought — helped inspire how the Beatles thought about presenting their music, from B-sides to single packaging, the real revelation came when he casually dropped a wee tale about the Prince cover of a Beatles song that never was.
