Taylor Swift’s folklore spends its third straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, scoring the highest album sales total for the week and achieving 14,000 total consumption units. It matches Reputation, the 2017 album that marks her second-longest-running chart-topping album, trailing only 1989 which spent nine weeks at No. 1 beginning in late 2014.


Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon, which picks up the highest on-demand stream total for the week, and Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die, hold their positions at Nos. 2 and 3, while DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby edges 5-4.
