The release, which contains the current No. 1 Streaming and Digital song, Old Town Road, is the first No. 1 album by a first-time charted artist since Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy entered at the top in April 2018.


The Raconteurs’ Help Us Stranger debuts at 2, racking up the top album sales total in the week. This is the Motor City rock band’s highest charting album to date, surpassing the No. 4 peak of their last album, 2008’s Consolers of The Lonely.

Cypress Hill Returns With Their First Spanish-Language Album 'Dios Bendiga'

The hip-hop veterans spoke to Billboard Canada about the record backstage at Festival d'été de Québec in July, explaining the significance of the record and the importance of connecting with their Latin fanbase across the world.

Hip-hop legends Cypress Hill are back with their first Spanish-language album.

Released today, Dios Bendiga ("God Bless" in English) is the first LP in four years from the pioneering hip-hop group, whose impact spans over three decades. The new album honours the group's roots, as they are one of the first-ever Latin American hip-hop groups to achieve mainstream success, including the No. 1 album Black Sunday in 1993.
