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.

Rush Filming Sold-Out Toronto Shows for a Potential Concert Film

The legendary Canadian band is set to play four sold-out nights at Scotiabank Arena this week on Aug. 7, 9, 11 and 13 as part of its milestone 50th anniversary reunion tour, and will film the four homecoming shows in their entirety.

Rush are making a blockbuster return home. The legendary Canadian rock band kicks off the first of four sold-out nights at Scotiabank Arena in their hometown of Toronto tonight (Aug. 7), and lead singer Geddy Lee has revealed on Instagram that the shows are going to be filmed live for a possible concert movie, with the goal of bringing the Rush experience to the big screen across the world.

"It’s always a hard decision as to where to film a live concert," he wrote. "Given the limited cities we are able to play, the demand for such a film has been off the charts, not only as a keepsake of their experience, but for those many fans that have not been able to see it live. Toronto being hometown made it a natural choice, and being the last mini-residency of 4 shows, playing over 40 songs which gives us the best chance to capture it all."
