Justin Bieber’s Justice holds at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the third straight week, once again picking up the highest on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the week.


Lil Tjay’s Destined 2 Win is the top new entry of the week, debuting at No. 2, with the second highest on-demand streams for the week. It matches his highest peak position to date, when his first full-length album, True 2 Myself, reached No. 2 in October 2019.

The Weeknd’s The Highlights, Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia all fall one position to Nos. 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

Intro

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.
