By FYI Staff

Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with 11,000 total consumption units, picking up the highest audio on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the sixth straight week. It is the album’s fifth week in the top position.


The highest new entry of the week belongs to Lil Tjay’s True 2 Myself, at No. 2, helped by the second-highest audio on-demand streams total for the week. It is his second release to chart in 2019, following the No. 35 F.N. in August.

Ed Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaborations Project rebounds 7-3, and Taylor Swift’s Lover moves 6-4.

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.
