The Weeknd’s After Hours remains at Number One on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the second week, achieving over 1K album sales and the highest on-demand stream totals (over 13M) in the week.


This is his third of four chart-topping albums to spend multiple weeks at the top of the chart. It is also the first chart-topping album by a Canadian artist to spend two straight weeks at No. 1 since Drake’s Scorpion held the top position for five consecutive weeks beginning in July 2018.

Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia is this week’s top new entry, landing at No. 2. It is her highest-charting album to date, surpassing the No. 14 peak of her self-titled 2018 release.

5 Seconds of Summer’s C A L M jumps 11-7, giving the band its fifth straight top ten album.

Charli xcx Destroys an Electric Guitar in ‘Rock Music’ Video Teaser & Announces New Song’s Release Date

The pop star has been teasing that the track is her edgiest yet.

Charli xcx is stepping onto the rock scene — literally. In a new teaser for her upcoming song “Rock Music,” the pop star stomps on an electric guitar, breaking the base and neck apart with one swift motion.

The black-and-white clip arrived on Instagram on Thursday (May 7) after weeks of Charli teasing her new era. Only her feet — wearing impossibly high black stilettos — are visible in frame. The moment she makes impact with her sharp heel, a blast of fuzzy guitars and drum hits sounds off.
