The No. 1 album in the first week of 2021 is the same as the last week in 2020 as Taylor Swift’s evermore spends its third non-consecutive week at the top of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, earning the highest album sales and on-demand stream total for the week.


It matches the three weeks at No. 1 reached with her other 2020 album release, folklore.

Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon skips 5-2, Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By edges 4-3, The Kid LAROI’s F*ck Love moves 6-4 and The Weeknd’s After Hours bullets 12-5.

Executive of the Week: FACTOR's Meg Symsyk on Why Supporting Canadian Music Means Supporting Cultural Sovereignty

The president and CEO of FACTOR, one of Canada's most crucial music funders, explains why it's more important than ever to support homegrown culture and give it the opportunity to compete on the global stage.

One of the most crucial funders of art in the country, the non-profit's impact is seen with its logo across countless acclaimed records and its name shouted out at concerts and award shows. But for president & CEO Meg Symsyk, it's not just about supporting Canadian music or even Canadian artists: it's about the sovereignty and identity of the country itself.

“Buying locally is more important than ever because of that consumer awareness and structural support. Canadians need to be encouraged to be more intentional. This last year and a half with the tariffs and the trade wars has put that on everyone's front burner,” she explains.
