By FYI Staff

Justin Timberlake’s Man Of The Woods debuts at number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 18,000 total consumption units. The album scores the highest sales total and song download total and has the second highest audio-on-demand stream total for the week. It is his fourth straight chart-topping album. Following his performance at the halftime show at the Super Bowl, two of his previous albums return to the chart, with 2006’s Futuresex/Love Sounds landing at No. 94 and 2002’s Justified, his only solo album not to reach No. 1, coming in at No. 162.


Last week’s No. 1 album, Migos’ Culture II, drops to No. 2 but still has the top audio-on-demand stream total for the week with over ten and a half million streams. Ed Sheeran’s Divide falls one spot to No. 3, and Camila Cabello’s Camila holds at No. 4

Other albums debuting in the top 40 this week include Rich Brian’s Amen at No. 18, Milk & Bone’s Deception Bay at No. 22 and Awolnation’s Here Come The Runts at No. 25.

Drake’s “God’s Plan” holds at the top of the Streaming Songs chart for the third straight week while Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” spends its 16th non-consecutive week at the top of the Digital Songs chart.

Debate over Québec’s Bill 109 is resurfacing with new force, as fresh consumer data adds a critical layer to the conversation.

A Léger survey released in late November shows that most Québec music streaming users oppose government intervention in determining what music appears on digital platforms — a notable finding as the province continues to deliberate on the bill.
