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.

Belgian singer Stromae rockets 119-4 with Multitude, his first album in over eight years, picking up the highest album sales total for the week. It is his highest-charting album to date, surpassing the No. 10 peak of his 2013 album Racine Carree.

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.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
