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.

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.

At a press conference attended by Billboard on Friday (Aug. 28), Rodrigo revealed the eye-popping amount her festival’s ticket sales have brought in for its benefitting organizations. “It’s a real honor to announce that we are donating $10 million to be given directly to these 10 nonprofit partners,” she said, earning applause. “I’m so excited for tomorrow, I’ll see you guys there.”
