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.

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

Toronto International Film Festival to Premiere New Documentary on Neil Peart of Rush in 2026

The recently announced film honouring the late Rush drummer will be receiving its world premiere on Sept. 16 along with several additional screenings, ahead of its release on CBC on Sept. 23. Plus, Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams joins TIFF for its In Conversation With... series.

TIFF is celebrating a Canadian rock music legend. The Toronto International Film Festival has released its full programming, revealing that it will host the world premiere of the forthcoming documentary Neil Peart: No One's Disciple, which was announced by CBC last week. The 106-minute film gathers Peart's Rush bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, plus other famed drummers like Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, The Police’s Stewart Copeland and Tool’s Danny Carey, all of whom honour the late musician's life, legacy, upbringing and illustrious career as part of one of the biggest Canadian bands of all-time.

"That Peart’s parts are so challenging even for such revered players says a lot about the ingenuity and dexterity he brought to Rush’s music," TIFF programmer Jason Anderson writes of the film. "The performances also become one of several means of commemorating a man who — as Dunn’s film reveals — was equally complex. The remembrances and anecdotes of the musicians and other intimates help fill out the portrait that Dunn creates via archival interviews and other footage."
