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.

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.
