Taylor Swift’s folklore remains at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with over 23,000 total consumption units, achieving the highest album sales and on-demand streams for the week. It is her fifth chart-topping album to spend multiple weeks on the chart and the first since 2017’s Reputation reigned for three weeks.


Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon and Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die hold their positions from last week, at Nos 2 & 3 respectively. Harry Styles’ Fine Line edges 5-4, with the highest digital song download total for the week, and DaBaby’s Blame it On Baby rebounds 11-5.

The top new entry of the week belongs to Alanis Morissette’s Such Pretty Forks In The Road at No. 14, scoring the second-highest album sales total for the week. It is her first charted album since 2012’s Havoc And Bright Lights debuted at No. 1.

Diljit Dosanjh’s G.O.A.T. leaps 145-16 in its first full week of release. It is the Indian singer/actor’s highest-charting album to date.

Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, which debuted at No. 4 in July 2019, re-enters at No. 39, with the release of a deluxe version of the album.

Dominic Fike’s debut full-length album What Could Possibly Go Wrong lands at No. 50. Shoreline Mafia’s Maria Bidness comes in at No. 56, their highest-charting album to date.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
