After three weeks out of-1st place, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack returns to the top of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, moving 2-1 with a 1% consumption increase.


This is the album’s ninth week at No. 1–the most weeks at the top for a release since Ed Sheeran’s Divide spent nine non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, ending in January 2018. The Star Is Born s/t is the highest selling album of the week while the song “Shallow” spends its 16th week at No.1 on the Digital Songs chart.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN rebounds 3-2 and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack vaults 6-3 with a 7% consumption increase.

The top debut of the week belongs to Marshmello’s streaming only album, Marshmello Fortnite, which lands at 45. The producer/DJ has three songs in the top ten of the Streaming Songs chart, including his duet with Bastille on “Happier,” which moves 7-2, and “Alone,” which enters at 7.

Ontario Raises Maximum Penalty for Illegal Ticket Resale to $25,000

Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls the move a "massive win" for fans in Ontario, after imposing a ban on the resale of tickets above face value in April.

The Ontario government is once again cracking down on the ticket resale market.

The Ford government has announced that it will be raising the maximum penalty for reselling tickets above face value from $10,000 to $25,000, more than doubling the fine. The change is meant to discourage businesses and individuals from violating recent legislation in the province that caps ticket resale at face value and will take effect on June 10, just ahead of the FIFA World Cup's arrival in Toronto.
