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.

Obituaries: Mariposa Folk Festival Co-Founder Ruth Jones McVeigh, Founding Grateful Dead Member Bob Weir

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Toronto musician and composer Bob Stevenson, influential New York filmmaker Amos Poe and English bassist Andrew Bodnar.

Ruth (Major) Jones McVeigh, an author, journalist and a writer, journalist, and cultural builder best known as co-founder of Canada's legendary and long-running Mariposa Folk Festival, died on Jan. 7, at age 99.

In its obituary, CBC identifies Jones McVeigh "a driving force behind the creation of the enduring, community-oriented annual musical gathering that's withstood location changes and financial challenges to become one of the longest-running folk festivals in North America.. Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are among the scores of artists who attended the festival since its founding in 1961 and graced its stages."
