Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack spends its fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, with 12,000 equivalent units, marking it as the longest running soundtrack chart-topper since Frozen spent seven weeks at No. 1 beginning in March 2014.


Ginette Reno’s A Jamais jumps 3-2 with just under 12,000 equivalent units, up 4% over last week and earning the highest album sales total for the week.

Andrea Bocelli’s Si is the top new entry of the week, debuting at 3, achieving the second highest album sales tally in the week and becoming his 4th top-three album and first since My Christmas peaked at 2 in November 2009.

Toronto's First Class Fest Revamps Lineup After 'Heartwrenching' Last-Minute Artist Cancellations

OsamaSon will now play both days of the Toronto underground rap festival (Aug. 28-29), which has added Xaviersobased, ApolloRed1 and 1oneam to the bill after Nettspend, Che and more have dropped out. "It's been the craziest 24 hours of my life," co-founder Leo Strang tells Billboard Canada.

First Class Fest is facing some serious turbulence, but is stabilizing before liftoff.

Just days before the Toronto festival, which lands at the Bowl at Sobeys Stadium on Aug. 28-29, multiple artists dropped off the bill, including one of its biggest names. Nettspend, who recently notched his first Billboard Canadian Albums placement with Early Life Crisis in March, abruptly announced that he would "not be making it to Toronto" via his Instagram story on Tuesday night (Aug. 25).
