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

​Canada Stands Firm on CanCon Streaming Regulations Despite Opposition from the U.S.

Trade talks between Canada and the U.S. fell through this weekend (Aug. 22) after the Trump government requested that American streaming services be exempt from CanCon regulations. "We were not prepared to compromise on our sovereignty, the protection of the French language, and our culture," said Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Canada is standing firm when it comes to CanCon.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) confirmed that it is sticking with its plans to regulate how Canadian content is presented and made available to users on major streaming services, following recent resistance from the United States.
