Here is this week's Nielsen Market Watch 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.
The Gatineau edition is helmed by Illenium, who earned his fourth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard Top Dance Albums chart earlier this year with Oddyssey and led a nine-date residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas this spring. He is joined by fellow headliner Max Styler, the indie tech house producer-DJ who has graced major stages including Lollapalooza and Coachella since 2025 and Lost Frequencies, who will return to the Canadian stage after headlining this year's flagship edition of Igloofest in Montreal and playing Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on his solo headline tour.
Italian house trio Meduza will headline the Quebec edition after making major strides on the Billboard charts this year. They topped the Billboard Dance Airplay charts just last week (chart dated Nov. 7) with their RANI collaboration "Silence," earning a second No. 1 hit on the airwaves after their hit "Don't Wanna Go Home" with Henry Camamile reached the top spot in April. Progressive house star Alesso, who has earned a number of Canadian Hot 100 hits with Calvin Harris, Tove Lo, Katy Perry over the years, will also bring his bright and positive sound to the Quebec capital city.
Joining them is Steve Aoki, who will reprise his Igloofest headliner role after playing the 2026 Gatineau edition. Along with his viral cake-throwing tradition, the viral DJ is sure to bring his hit-filled catalogue that has dominated stages in Ibiza and at Tomorrowland festival, from 2010s Billboard Hot 100 hits like "Just Hold On" with Louis Tomlinson to his recent Billboard Latin Airplay chart-topper and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs top 10 hit, "Yapaque" with Farruko and Greeicy.
Igloofest revealed its star-studded Montreal lineup for 2027 last month, which features major Canadian global stars and international headliners such as Kaytranada, James Hype, deadmau5 and Fatboy Slim, who are coming to Parc Jean-Drapeau throughout January and early February. Igloofest has also confirmed a return to Edmonton in 2027 following an inaugural edition this year headlined by Alison Wonderland, deadmau5 and Disclosure, with a lineup announcement still pending.
A presale for both editions will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 followed by a general sale on Friday, Nov. 13, both at 11 am EST. Check out the full lineups below and find more information on Igloofest Gatineau and Igloofest Québec's website.
