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.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
