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.

Dan Hawie Promoted to Managing Director of Last Gang Records by MNRK Music Group

Formerly with Dine Alone Records and Nevado Records, the Toronto-based label exec joined Last Gang in 2017 where he served as director of marketing and A&R.

MNRK Music Group has announced the promotion of Dan Hawie to managing director of Last Gang Records. Effective immediately, Hawie will oversee Last Gang’s finances and assume expanded leadership across A&R and brand strategy. Based in Toronto, he will report to Randy Derebegian, vp of artist development, and Chris Moncada, coo of MNRK Music Group.

"I’m incredibly honoured to carry the legacy of Last Gang forward," Hawie says. "Twenty-one years in, our ‘Us Against The World’ mentality continues to fuel everything we do. Foundational artists like Death From Above 1979, Metric, and Mother Mother are still shaping culture today, while our new guard, including Bella Poarch, Ho99o9, Loving, and Mondo Cozmo, continues to push boundaries and move the culture forward. I’m grateful to help preserve that independent spirit, and especially proud to champion such incredible art with the same passion and belief as the artists creating it.”
