The Montreal post-rock songwriter, also of alt-rock band Your Favorite Enemies, places one spot above PartyNextDoor's P4 on this week's albums chart, and Les Cowboys Fringants land a new debut on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Shaboozey hits No. 1, while Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud spills onto the charts.
