Taylor Swift Continues Her Albums Chart Domination

By FYI Staff

Taylor Swift’s folklore returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 11,000 total consumption units and racking up the highest album sales total for the week. It is the album’s fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1, making it her second-longest-running chart-topping release to date, surpassed only by 1989, which held the No. 1 position for nine weeks in late 2014.


Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon drops to No. 2 with the highest on-demand stream total for the week, and Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die remains at No. 3.

Three new releases debut in the top ten, led by Metallica & The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra’s S&M2, at No. 4. It is the band’s highest-charting album since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct entered at No. 1 and it matches the No. 4 peak of their first team up on S & M in December 1999.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
