By FYI Staff

With no major new releases in the week and consumers young and old recuperating from too much of everything, the last week in December produced a chart about as exciting as a kidney bean.


Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with over 8,000 total consumption units in the week. It is the album’s seventh week at No. 1, marking it as the longest running chart-topping soundtrack album since Frozen spent seven weeks at the top in 2014. “Shallow,” the first single from the album, returns to No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart, the song’s 13th week at the top of the chart.
