Drake Racks Up His 11th No. 1 Album

By FYI Staff

This week's chart report was delayed at source due to reporting issues.


Drake’s Certified Lover Boy debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, earning the highest one-week album consumption unit and on-demand stream total in 2021. With 54,000 total consumption units and 65 million on-demand streams, it is the second-highest one-week totals to date for both metrics, only trailing his 2018 release Scorpion. It is his 11th chart-topping album.

Last week’s No. 1 album, Kanye West’s Donda, drops to 2nd place, The Kid Laroi’s F*ck Love falls one position, to 3, and Doja Cat’s Planet Her holds at 4.

Imagine Dragons’ Mercury-Act 1 debuts at 8. It is their follow-up to the No. 1 Origins in 2018.

Abba’s Gold-Greatest Hits rockets 39-15, matching the album’s highest chart peak, reached in August 2018.

One other new album enters the top 50 as the S/T to the new Marvel film Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings lands at No. 47.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
