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.

Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu debuts at 5, scoring the highest album sales total for the week. It is the Brit band’s first studio album since 2015’s The Book Of Souls peaked at No. 2.

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.

Spotify to Label AI Artists on the Platform With New ‘AI Persona’ Badge

The music of artists tagged with the label will be excluded from personalized recommendations on the service.

Spotify has announced the creation of a new label that will be applied to AI-generated artists and begin rolling out in mid-September. Music from artists bearing the label, called “AI Persona,” will not be included in personalized recommendations on the platform.

Creators can begin disclosing that an artist profile is AI-generated starting Tuesday (Aug. 11). Spotify won’t solely rely on voluntary disclosures, however, as the streaming platform will also review accounts. For accounts that Spotify labels as AI, artists will have the opportunity to either self-disclose or appeal.
