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.

Ontario Raises Maximum Penalty for Illegal Ticket Resale to $25,000

Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls the move a "massive win" for fans in Ontario, after imposing a ban on the resale of tickets above face value in April.

The Ontario government is once again cracking down on the ticket resale market.

The Ford government has announced that it will be raising the maximum penalty for reselling tickets above face value from $10,000 to $25,000, more than doubling the fine. The change is meant to discourage businesses and individuals from violating recent legislation in the province that caps ticket resale at face value and will take effect on June 10, just ahead of the FIFA World Cup's arrival in Toronto.
