Post Malone Is King Of The Charts For A 2nd Week

By FYI Staff

Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding remains at number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the second week, with 22,000 total consumption units, generating the highest audio-on-demand stream and digital song totals for the week. The album currently sits at No. 2 on the Year-to-date consumption chart, behind Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go.


The highest debut of the week and lone new entry in the top ten belongs to the Lumineers’ III at 2, scoring the highest album sales total of the week. All three of their albums have peaked in the top two and it is the group’s first charted albums since Cleopatra entered at No. 1 in April 2016.

Other new entries in the top 50 include Korn’s The Nothing at No. 11, Glorious Sons’ A War On Everything at No. 13, the band’s highest-charting album to date, the Top Boy soundtrack at No. 23 and Charli XCX’s Charli at No. 50.

Following last week’s passing of singer/guitarist/songwriter Ric Ocasek, The Cars’ Complete Greatest Hits debuts at No. 55.

Lewis Capaldi’s first charted song, Someone You Loved, jumps 2-1 on the Digital Songs chart, with a 19% download increase. It took the song 27 weeks to reach the summit.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
