Tory Lanez’s The New Toronto 3 debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with the magical number of 10M earning him the highest on-demand streams total in the week. The album nudges The Weeknd into second place.  This is the second chart-topper for Lanez following 2018’s Memories Don’t Die. All five of his charted albums have debuted in the top five. Notable for chartologists, the No.'s 1 and 2 spots on Billboard's US Albums chart place The Weeknd at #1 and Lanez debuts in 2nd place.


The Weeknd’s After Hours, Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia each fall one position to numbers 2, 3 and 4 respectively, while Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding edges 6-5.

Toronto Producer Loukeman Talks 'Sd-3' and DJing the Biggest Stages of His Career: Interview

With a cult following album series, collaborations with PinkPantheress and A$AP Rocky and a co-sign from global star Fred again.. the genre-blurring DJ-producer is growing in scale while chasing a feeling. Tonight (June 26) he plays Montreal's Piknic Électronik festival alongside Four Tet.

Loukeman's music is living on a feeling.

Back in April, the Toronto DJ/producer released his third album Sd-3, capping off a trilogy of albums that began in 2021 with his beat tape Sd-1 and has since earned him a cult fanbase. He has long operated in a unique lane bridging indie, alternative and dance textures into a unique sonic landscape full of pitched vocals, raw ambience and glitchy textures, a DIY approach that dates back to his beginnings making mash-ups on VirtualDJ as a kid.
