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.

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
