Olivia Rodrigo's Sour Album Holds In 1st Place For 8th Week

By External Source

Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour holds at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the eighth consecutive week, earning the highest on-demand streams and digital song downloads and the third-highest album sales in the week.


The last album to spend eight consecutive weeks at #1 was Adele’s 25 at the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016. Morgan Wallen’s album spent nine weeks at the top this year, but not consecutive weeks.
 
The remainder of the top five hold their positions from last week, with Doja Cat’s Planet Her spending its third straight week at No. 2, The Weeknd’s The Highlights at No. 3, Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia at No. 4 and Justin Bieber’s Justice at No. 5.
 

For the second straight week, only one new album debuts in the top 50, with Vince Staples’ self-titled album entering 37. It surpasses the No. 44 peak of his last album, 2018’s FM!

Executive of the Week: FACTOR's Meg Symsyk on Why Supporting Canadian Music Means Supporting Cultural Sovereignty

The president and CEO of FACTOR, one of Canada's most crucial music funders, explains why it's more important than ever to support homegrown culture and give it the opportunity to compete on the global stage.

When it comes to supporting Canadian music, FACTOR's influence is immeasurable. One of the most crucial funders of art in the country, the non-profit's impact is seen with its logo across countless acclaimed records and its name shouted out at concerts and award shows. But for president & CEO Meg Symsyk, it's not just about supporting Canadian music or even Canadian artists: it's about the sovereignty and identity of the country itself.

“Buying locally is more important than ever because of that consumer awareness and structural support. Canadians need to be encouraged to be more intentional. This last year and a half with the tariffs and the trade wars has put that on everyone's front burner,” she explains.
