Please Make Note Of  Our FYI Holiday Break: Sept. 8-15

By David Farrell

The stores and online ads are already starting to tout Halloween and Christmas, but the fact is it’s September and the FYI team has been ploughing forward without a break since last Christmas, but we’re taking one next week.


Please note that there will be no website updates from September 8 through the 15th  and the next newsletter won't be published until Thursday the 21st.

We apologize for the interruption, but we too need time to relax and decompress. For me, it’s my first trip to Cape Breton, and assuredly I will return rejuvenated and ready to go the final distance before 2023 drifts into the new year.

With ‘HABIBTI,’ Drake Sets New Record For Most No. 1 Albums on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

The superstar breaks from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the crown.

Drake expands to his arsenal of records on Billboard’s charts, claiming the trophy as the artist with the most No. 1 titles on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart outright. The hitmaker’s HABIBTI rockets to the summit after the release of its HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe edition to secure his 18th champ, breaking from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the highest total among all acts since the list launched in January 1965.

HABIBTI (FOMO) dropped on Oct. 2, adding four new cuts – “Solar Eclipse” (with Don Toliver), “Quebec,” “Cold Shoulder” (with Don Toliver and Yebba) and “Classic Pt 2” – to the album’s original 11-song track list. Spurred by its expansion, the album soars 35-1 to lead the list dated Oct. 17, with 71,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States for the tracking week of Oct. 2-8, according to Luminate, up 506% from its total the prior week. (All versions of the album are combined for data tracking and chart purposes.)
