Eminem’s Kamikaze returns to the top on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with over 10,000 total consumption units. At three weeks at No. 1, it is his longest running chart-topper since 2010’s Recovery spent seven weeks at on the summit. The album has the highest sales and on-demand stream total for the week and his single, “Killshot,” holds at No. 1 on both the Streaming and Digital Songs charts.

American hip-hop boy band Brockhampton’s Indescence debuts at 6, its first top ten album in the market. The Texas ensemble’s previous chart peak was 50, with 2017’s Saturation II.
