By FYI Staff

Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By remains at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the fourth straight week, with 8,400 total consumption units, and again picking up the highest on-demand stream total for the week. It is his longest-running chart-topping album since 2010’s Recovery spent seven weeks in first place.


Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial holds at No. 2, as his single, The Box, remains at the top of the Streaming Songs chart. Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding edges 4-3, switching positions with Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go, and Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent jumps 8-5. It is the album’s highest chart peak in its 39th week on the chart.
