By FYI Staff

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy spends its second straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, and again achieving the highest on-demand streams total for the week.


Kanye West’s Donda, The Kid Laroi’s F*ck Love and Doja Cat’s Planet Her hold their positions from last week at Nos. 2 through 4 respectively.

The top new entry this week belongs to Baby Keem’s debut full-length studio album, The Melodic Blue, at 5. This is the American rapper’s first charted album.

Metallica’s multi-platinum self-titled 1991 release moves 113-8, thanks to the 30th anniversary remastered versions of the album. It is the highest chart peak for the album, which was first released in the pre-Canada SoundScan era. The new covers' album, The Metallica Blacklist, featuring songs from the 1991 album interpreted by over 50 different artists, debuts at No. 44.

The other new entry to land inside the top 50 is Colombian singer-songwriter and rapper J Balvin’s Jose, at 26.

Rush Forced to Postpone Two Texas Shows As Singer Geddy Lee Battles Laryngitis/Bronchitis

The pushbacks came after the legendary group had to reschedule a June 24 show in Fort Worth over travel and border-related delays.

Rush‘s Fifty Something reunion tour has hit yet another snag. Just hours before they were slated to take the stage a Dixies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, the beloved Canadian prog rockers announced on Tuesday (June 30) that they would need to push back that night’s gig as well as a show on Thursday (July 2) at the same arena due to 72-year-old singer/bassist Geddy Lee’s health.

“We are deeply sorry to share that we must postpone our June 30 and July 2 shows.Geddy has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. After being evaluated by his doctors, he has been advised that he needs additional time to rest and recover before returning to the stage,” read a statement from the group on Facebook.
