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.
