By FYI Staff

Taylor Swift’s folklore debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 47,000 total consumption units and earning the highest album sales, on-demand streams and digital songs for the week. It is her seventh chart-topping album, all of which have debuted at the No. 1 position. It is the second-highest one-week consumption total so far in 2020, surpassed only by The Weeknd’s After Hours in its first week of release in late March. It is also the highest one-week consumption total for a female artist since Celine Dion’s Courage in November 2019. Her catalogue also posts chart gains, including her last album, Lover, moving 25-17, and 1989 bulleting 98-68.

The third new entry in the top ten this week belongs to Australian teenager The Kid Laroi, who debuts at 6 with his first full-length album, F*ck Love.

With the release of a deluxe edition, Gunna’s former No. 1 album, Wunna, rockets 46-8.

Nate Sabine Steps Into Role as Chair of the Canadian Live Music Association

“Live music is not only a powerful economic driver; it is a cornerstone of Canada’s creative ecosystem and cultural identity,” the Vancouver-based music industry executive says.

The Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) has appointed Nate Sabine as the new chair of the organization.

For over two decades, Sabine has been immersed in Vancouver’s entertainment scene — from self-producing club nights and rap concerts to managing homegrown hip-hop artists in the late 90s and early 2000s to his current role as director of business development at Blueprint, one of the west coast’s largest independent live concert and festival companies.
