In a very quiet week for new releases, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour remains No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the seventh straight week, again earning the highest on-demand streams and digital song downloads and the second-highest album sales total, only behind The Tragically Hip’s Saskadelphia.


Doja Cat’s Planet Her holds at No. 2 for the second straight week, The Weeknd’s The Highlights moves 4-3, Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia slides 6-4 and Justin Bieber’s Justice holds at No. 5.

Only one album debuts in the top 50 this week, Chicago rapper G Herbo’s 25, at No. 45. It is the follow-up to his 2020 PTSD release, which peaked at No. 32.

Canada Announces $600 Million Investment in Music and Media Amidst Online Streaming Act Controversy

As the U.S. government and major online streamers like Spotify and Apple Music push back against the so-called "streaming tax," the Canadian federal government will make its own investment to "provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors."

The Canadian government is stepping in to support Canadian music and media amidst debates around the Online Streaming Act.

This morning (June 3), the government announced that it will offer immediate financial support for music, audio and audiovisual media with a $600 million yearly investment. The release says funding will "provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors and keep our culture accessible and affordable for all Canadians."
