By FYI Staff

Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album remains at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the sixth non-consecutive week and, once again, scores the highest on-demand stream total for the week. Dangerous is now the longest running No. 1 album by a Country artist since Shania Twain’s Up spent 11 straight weeks at the top in December 2002.


Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon jumps 4-2 and The Weeknd’s After Hours drops one position, to No. 3.

With the release of a deluxe 14-track edition of Ariana Grande’s Positions, the album kicks up its heels, moving 8-4 on the chart. It's the highest position for the album since its fifth week on the chart in December. Positions was originally released by Republic Records/UMC on Oct. 30, 2020.
