By FYI Staff

Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By remains No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the second straight week, with 14,000 total consumption units and achieving the highest album sales and on-demand streams for the week. Each of his ten solo chart-topping albums has spent multiple weeks at No. 1.


Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial rebounds 4-2 as his single, The Box, remains at the top of the Streaming Songs chart.

After taking home five Grammys last week, Billie Eilish’s debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go, glides 8-3, with a 68% consumption increase.

Other artists who picked up chart gains following the Grammys include Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You (17-12), Lil Nas X’s 7 (35-26) and Ariana Grande’s Thank U Next (47-39), while the 2020 Grammy Nominees album jumps 57-32.

The top debut of the week falls outside of the top 50, as Breaking Benjamin’s Aurora comes in at  56.
