There is no change at the top of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week, as the Encanto soundtrack spends its 3rd straight week at No. 1, earning the highest on-demand streams and digital song download totals for the week.


The Weeknd’s Dawn Fm holds at No. 2, Ed Sheeran’s = nudges up 6-3, Adele’s 30 remains at No. 4 and Gunna’s Ds4ever falls to No. 5.

The top debut of the week belongs to Korn’s Requiem at 26, picking up the highest album sales total for the week. It is the band’s follow-up to the No. 11 peak of 2019’s The Nothing.
