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.

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.
