Here is this week's Nielsen Marketwatch report which features Canadian music stats for the current week and YTD with comparisons to last year. This chart is published every Tuesday. The abbreviation "TEA" is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs.
Liam Gallagher performs at the I-Days Festival 2023 at Ippodromo Snai La Maura, on July 1, 2023 in Milan, Italy.
The Oasis rock star has since deleted the post in which he used the offensive term.
Liam Gallagher has apologized after using a racial slur in a post on X, telling fans Tuesday that he meant no harm.
“Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn’t intentional,” Gallagher wrote on the platform. “you know I love you all and I do not discriminate.”
The rocker signed the post, “peace and love LG x.”
In the since-deleted, one-word reply, the Oasis singer used a term that is highly offensive to Asian people. One fan replied to the post, “liam you can’t say that,” to which Gallagher simply replied at the time, “Why.”
Before apologizing, Gallagher had also replied to a fan telling him he would be canceled over the offensive post with, “Whatever.”
The offensive post casts a slight shadow over Oasis’ upcoming reunion, which has been more than 15 years in the making. After putting an end to their yearslong feud, Liam and brother Noel Gallagher have gotten the band back together for a global tour, kicking off Friday with a show at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
In the weeks leading up to the kickoff show, Liam has teased that the group is sounding better than ever. “We have LIFT OFF Rastas sounded f—ing FILTHY,” he wrote on X during rehearsals in June.
In lighter news about Gallagher’s recent X activity, the musician recently praised a fan who hilariously trolled Billie Joe Armstrong at a recent Green Day show. After the prankster joined the band onstage under the pretense of stepping in to play “Good Riddance” on guitar but instead started strumming “Wonderwall” and was swiftly kicked offstage, Gallagher replied to a video of the incident, “Best song of the night.”
