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.

NewJeans Member Danielle Dropped From Girl Group Amid ADOR Lawsuit Fallout

Hanni is officially confirmed to return to the label, while Minji is still in "ongoing conversations."

ADOR has shared an update on the status of NewJeans‘ lineup amid the HYBE subsidiary’s ongoing legal issues with the girl group.

On Monday (Dec. 29), ADOR announced via a statement on X that Danielle — one of the K-pop quintet’s original members — will not be returning to NewJeans in light of the label’s court win earlier this year. “Having determined that it would be difficult for her to continue as a NewJeans member and ADOR artist, the company notified her today of the termination of her exclusive contract,” the Korean-language statement reads, according to the site’s English translation.
