Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? returns to the No. 1 position on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the third non-consecutive week, with 8,600 total consumption units, including the highest audio-on-demand streams and digital song download totals in the period. It is only the third album so far in 2019 to spend at least three weeks at No. 1, following the soundtrack to A Star Is Born and Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next.

The top debut is Corey Hart’s five-song EP Dreaming Time Again which lands at 3, earning the highest album sales in the week. This is his highest charting album in the Nielsen SoundScan era, and highest chart peak since his 1996 self-titled album levelled out at 34.

David Lynch, Iconic Filmmaker Behind ‘Twin Peaks’ & ‘Mulholland Drive,’ Dies at 78

His projects made appearances on the Billboard charts throughout the years, and he directed several music videos for artists including Nine Inch Nails and Moby.

David Lynch, the beloved filmmaker and director known for his dark, surrealist vision in the television classic Twin Peaks, as well as films including Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, has died. He was 78 years old.

Lynch’s family announced the news of his passing via a Facebook post on Thursday (Jan. 16). “It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch,” the statement reads alongside a photo of the artist playing a guitar. “We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”
