By FYI Staff

Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 23,000 total consumption units and earned the highest album sales, on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the week. It is the second straight week that a posthumous album has debuted at No. 1, following Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon, which drops to No. 2 this week. It is Juice WRLD’s second straight chart-topping album, following Death Race for Love in March 2019.

The cast recording of Hamilton, Harry Styles’ Fine Line and The Weeknd’s After Hours each drop one position to Nos. 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

Two other new releases debut in the top 60. Summer Walker’s EP Life on Earth enters at No. 57, the follow-up to her October 2019 release Over It, which peaked at No. 4. July Talk’s first album in nearly four years, Pray for It, debuts at 60. Their last release, Touch, peaked at 5.

Billboard Canada 2025 Power Players List Revealed

By Richard Trapunski, Rosie Long Decter, Peony Hirwani, Stefano Rebuli and Heather Taylor-Singh

Billboard Canada Power Players is back for a second year, and it comes at a pivotal time for Canadian music. Canadian Content regulations – a principle that built the domestic industry – are up for review for the first time in a generation, with ongoing hearings taking place with the CRTC. The Online Streaming Act, meanwhile, is attempting to regulate major foreign streaming services to contribute to CanCon as the CRTC once did for radio, but companies like Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music aren't taking it without a fight.

Those issues shadow the industry, which has both struggles and successes. The country was recently named the 8th largest music market in the world by the IFPI and Toronto has emerged as a marquee live music market. That's been reflected in the successes and investments in new venues by companies like Live Nation Canada, MLSE and Oak View Group, though some festivals and promoters outside of their orbit have gone public with their own struggles.
