Taylor Swift Has This Week's No. 1 Album ... Again!

By FYI Staff

For the final chart of 2020, Taylor Swift’s evermore returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Album chart, after debuting at the top two weeks ago and earned the highest sales total for the week.


Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red picks up the highest debut of the week, entering at No. 2 with the highest on-demand stream total in the period. It is his highest-charting album to date, surpassing the No. 9 peak of his last album, 2018’s Die Lit.

Last week’s No. 1 album, Michael Buble’s Christmas, drops to No. 3 and Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered by falls to No. 4. Pop Smoke’s Shoot for The Stars Aim for The Moon holds at No. 5 and ends 2020 as the most consumed album of the year, just ahead of The Weeknd’s After Hours.

One of Canada's biggest independent music promoters has added to its leadership as it continues to expand.

Stephane Lecuyer is stepping into a new role as chief operating officer (COO) of The MRG Group and managing director of MRG Live.

One of Canada's biggest independent live music companies, the MRG Group and MRG Live have taken over operations for multiple Canadian events and venues in recent months. Back in August, the former acquired for Kelowna, B.C. Venue, Revelry, and the latter obtained a free, two-day Burlington, Ontario waterfront music festival, formerly known as Sound of Music Festival, in October. As both organizations’ portfolios continue to grow, Lecuyer is coming on in a dual leadership role.
