A Shopping List Of Upcoming Maple Music Releases

By FYI Staff

OK, so the headlines are screaming 'new releases' from Justin Timberlake, Cardi B and Ariana Grande in 2018, and a shopping list more of star talent that have either signed and sealed their next deal or have grand plans to wow fans sooner rather than later in the year. We've created a list of homegrown stars, some instantly recognizable and a few on their way to becoming tomorrow's touring headliners, and, just for the fun of it, we've included a few retro and best-of collections that hit stores everywhere online and on main street in the next several months.

And don't believe for a moment that this is a complete list: Drake has been rambling on and releasing mixtapes that hint that he has new material to release whenever he feels the 'muse' come on; Carly Rae could well have another long-play out before the end of Q1, Celine Dion who knows? And the list goes on.

Billboard Canadian Hot 100 & Billboard Canadian Albums Charts Undergo Methodology Changes for 2026

Below is an explainer on the charts’ new streaming weights.

Following the switch of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart to a new weighting methodology to match that of the United States-based Billboard 200, the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 songs chart has shifted to the updated paid to ad-supported 1:2.5 streaming ratio. This is effective with the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart dated Jan. 31, 2026

As previously reported, Billboard’s charts have added more weight to on-demand streaming to better reflect an increase in streaming revenue and changing consumer behaviors. As part of the change, paid/subscription on-demand streams continue to be weighted more favourably compared to ad-supported on-demand streams, with the ratio between the two tiers narrowing from 1:3 to 1:2.5 based on analysis of streaming revenue.
