Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 52,000 total consumption units, scoring a clean sweep with the highest album sales, audio on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the week. It is his second straight chart-topping album, following 2018’s Beerbongs & Bentleys, which spent three weeks at No. 1. Hollywood’s Bleeding has also achieved the highest one-week consumption total and audio-on-demand stream total of 2019, and the most since Drake’s Scorpion in July 2018. 


Taylor Swift’s Lover holds at No. 2 for the second straight week, and Lil Tecca’s We Love You Tecca edges 4-3 as his single Ransom sits at the top of the Streaming Songs chart. Last week’s No. 1 album, Tool’s Fear Inoculum, drops to 4, and Ed Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaborations Project holds at 5.

Influence Media Wins Bid to Acquire Anthem Entertainment’s Music Assets

Sources say the BlackRock-backed company bid slightly above $650 million for the assets, though the deal has yet to close.

Apparently, the third time really can be the charm, as sources say Influence Media Partners has emerged as the winner in the auction for the music assets of Anthem Entertainment, the Canadian music firm that houses music publishing assets and recorded masters royalties from the likes of Rush and Timbaland.

While two earlier efforts to sell the firm in 2017 and 2022 came up short, sources suggest that in the third go-round, the successful Goldman Sachs-shopped deal saw at least two bids come in above the $600 million mark, even though most other bidders were said to be in the $500 million to $600 million range before dropping out. In all, sources suggested that about a dozen suitors kicked the tires on Anthem.
