Lady Gaga’s Chromatic spends its third straight week at number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 4,700 total consumption units and picking up the highest album sales total for the week. It becomes her second-longest chart-topping album to date, only surpassed by the A Star Is Born soundtrack, which spent ten weeks at No. 1 beginning in late 2018.


The Weeknd’s After Hours holds at No. 2, DaBaby’s Blame It on Baby moves 5-3 with the highest on-demand streams total for the week, Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes drops to 4, and Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding edges 6-5.

Rapper Saint Jhn’s Collection One moves 10-8 and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia returns to the top ten, moving 11-9.

The top debut of the week belongs to Puerto Rican rapper Iann Dior’s I’m Gone at No. 37. It is his highest-charting album to date, topping the No. 51 peak of his 2019 release Industry Plant.

Norah Jones’ Pick Me Up Off the Floor enters at 65 with the second-highest album sales total of the week.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
