Despite major competition with four new albums debut in the top ten this week,  American cross-over actress Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour remains at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the fourth consecutive week, again achieving the highest on-demand streams and digital song sales for the week.
American rapper Polo G’s Hall Of Fame is the week’s top new entry at No. 2, picking up the second-highest on-demand stream total. Born Taurus Tremani Bartlet, Polo's album matches the No. 2 peak of his last release, The Goat, in May 2020.

Two albums from Canadian artists complete the top five, with The Weeknd’s Highlights and Justin Bieber’s Justice both sliding back one position, to 4 and 5 respectively.
Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs), the soundtrack to his popular Netflix comedy special, debuts at 6. It is the first comedy album to reach the top ten since Weird Al Yankovic’s Mandatory Fun hit No. 3 in 2014.
Maroon 5’s Jordi, the band’s first album since 2017, debuts at 8. All seven of their studio albums have reached the top ten.
Taylor Swift’s evermore skips 19-14, achieving the highest album sales in the week, goosed by the release of a vinyl edition.

Robert Kraft Calls Macklemore’s ‘Free Palestine’ Statements ‘Deeply Offensive’: ‘A Line Had Been Crossed’

The Gillette Stadium owner released a statement explaining why he helped lead the call for the rapper's removal from Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour.

Robert Kraft, the powerhouse businessman who owns and operates Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., has released a statement regarding the ouster of Macklemore from Ed Sheeran‘s tour over what he calls Macklemore’s “deeply offensive and hurtful” statements “to the Jewish community.”

On Monday (Sept. 14), Messina Touring Group, the promoter for Sheeran’s Loop Tour, reported that Macklemore had been booted from his role on the U.S. leg of Sheeran’s current tour after a group of NFL venues, including Kraft’s Gillette Stadium, informed the company that they would not allow the concerts to take place due to Macklemore’s “free Palestine” comments during a show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
