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.

Grimes Calls Los Angeles Wildfires ‘Biblical’ After Evacuating City: ‘We Might Be Outta Time’

The singer also defended ex Elon Musk from a commenter who called him a "climate denier."

Grimes is reflecting on the state of the world amid the ongoing wildfire crisis in Los Angeles, from which she and nearly 200,000 other Californians have been forced to evacuate this week.

In a tweet posted Thursday (Jan. 9), the musician wrote that she thinks “the vibe is rather Biblical out here,” positing that “we might be outta time w regards to twiddling our thumbs whilst every level of our culture, environment, government, institutions, mental health, etc have obviously crumbled.”
