Kanye West’s Donda debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, earning the highest one week on-demand stream total in 2021 and, with over 26,000 equivalent albums, achieving the highest one-week total since Taylor Swift’s evermore in December 2020. Adding to the stats, with over 31M on-demand streams, Donda achieves the highest one-week total since Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die in July 2020. It is West’ eighth chart-topping album and first since 2019’s Jesus Is King.


The No. 1 album for the last two weeks, The Kid Laroi’s F*ck Love, drops to 2nd place, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour drops to 3rd place, and Doja Cat’s Planet Her falters one place to land in 4th place on the chart.

Kaytranada Wants Fans to Dance at Shows: ‘If You Put Your Phone Up, Let’s Move Them Hips at Least!’

"It looks mad awkward from where I stand," he said of seeing phones at his performances.

Kaytranada isn’t the biggest fan of how audiences choose to enjoy live shows in the age of smartphones and social media.

Over the weekend, the Montreal-based producer responded to a fan on X who apologized on behalf of “real fans” who dance at his shows as opposed to “standing still” in order to capture content for their social media pages. “Kaytranada, I am so sorry you got TikTok famous and now bastards are standing still during ‘Intimidated,’ ‘Freefall,’ ‘Vex Oh,’ ‘You’re the One,'” the fan wrote. “What the f—k is going on??? All points was I miss you @kaytranada please do some private show for the real fans because I can’t take this no more.”
