The Encanto soundtrack spends its seventh straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and again earns the highest on-demand stream total for the week. It is the longest-running No. 1 album since Drake’s Certified Lover Boy held the position for eight consecutive weeks beginning in mid-September 2021.


Ed Sheeran’s = remains at No. 2 for the fourth straight week, picking up the highest digital song download total for the week.

The top new entry belongs to Chicago rapper King Von’s What It Means To Be King, at No. 3. It surpasses the No. 12 peak of his debut album, 2020’s Welcome To O’Block.

The week that his current single, Sand in My Boots, reached No. 1 on the Country airplay chart, Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 album, Dangerous: The Double Album, edges 6-5.

The only other album to enter in the top 60 belongs to Toronto-based Duvy with Grasswayz, debuting at 53.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
