Urban Canadians Hold Top 3 Posts On Albums Chart This Week

By FYI Staff

For the first time since 2015 when streaming and digital song sales were included to tabulate total consumption chart data, three Canadian artists have the top three albums on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. NAV’s Good Intentions debuts at No. 1 with over 10,000 total consumption units, picking up the highest album sales and on-demand streams for the week. It is his second consecutive chart-topping album, following 2019’s Bad Habits.


Last week’s No. 1 album, Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes, drops to 2nd place, and The Weeknd’s After Hours holds at No. 3.

Kehlani’s It Was Good Until It Wasn’t debuts at No. 4. It is her second-highest chart peak to date, only surpassed by her 2017 No. 3 debut album Sweetsexysavage, and topping her last release, 2019’s While We Wait, which peaked at 17.

Lil Tjay’s State of Emergency debuts at 19. It is his follow-up to 2019's True 2 Myself, which peaked at No. 2.

Lil Durk’s Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 debuts at 20, his highest-charting album to date, surpassing the No. 25 peak of his last release, 2019’s Love Songs 4 The Streets 2.

6ix9ine’s Gooba debuts at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart. It is his first chart-topping song, surpassing the No. 2 place Fefe achieved in July 2018.

Stuck With U, the new duet from Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, debuts at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart. It is her fifth digital No. 1 and his 12th.

Cirkut, winner of Best Dance Pop Recording, Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, and Best Pop Vocal Album for "MAYHEM," poses in the press room during the 68th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 01, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.

Awards

Cirkut Won Both Grammy & Juno Awards for Producer of the Year: Who Else Has Done That?

Just two other producers have doubled up — and just one other has done it in the same calendar year.

Cirkut is on a historic awards roll. On Feb. 1, he won the Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. On March 28, he won the Juno Award in his native Canada in the same category (since 2002, the award has been named in honour of Jack Richardson, the late Canadian producer who is probably best known in the U.S. for helming The Guess Who’s 1970 smash “American Woman.”)

Cirkut (born Henry Russell Walter) is just the second producer to win both awards in the same calendar year. The first was David Foster, who took both awards in 1985, when his big credit was the hit-laden Chicago 17. One other producer, Daniel Lanois, has won both awards, but he has yet to win both in the same year.
