Travis Scott Has 1st No. 1 Album of 2020

By FYI Staff

As is normally the case for the last week of the year, very few releases land in the upper reaches of the chart. However, Travis Scott & Jackboys’ Jackboys broke the jinx with a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and 11,000 total consumption units—the highest album sales and audio-on-demand stream total for the week. It is his second chart-topping album, following his last release, 2018’s Astroworld, which spent two weeks at No. 1. All four of his albums have peaked in the top five.


Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding moved 3-2, switching positions with Harry Styles’ Fine Line, Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial rebounded 6-4 and the Frozen 2 soundtrack sprinted 8-5.

Tones And I’s Dance Monkey remained No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart and, with all the holiday songs dropping off the list, returned to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart. The affiliated album, The Kids Are Coming, bulleted 21-10, matching the album’s highest chart peak, reached in November.

Kristy Fletcher On Supporting Canadian Music 'From Birth to Myth' at CARAS and MusiCounts: Interview

Amidst a record $1.4 million donation to support music education in Canadian schools, the president of MusiCounts and chief operating officer of CARAS will accept the Impact Award at Billboard Canada Women In Music 2026.

In her dual role as the president of MusiCounts and the chief operating officer of CARAS, the organization behind the Juno Awards and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Kristy Fletcher influences every stage of a Canadian musician's career.

Through music education charity MusiCounts, she's there at the beginning, providing access to instruments and musical education to give youth a chance to make music in the first place. At CARAS, she's able to foster and develop the industry and recognize artists at the Juno Awards. That continues all the way until the later stages of their career, when they become Hall of Famers.
