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.

The project is divided into two parts, with the second more heavily focused on her personal life.

After announcing her first full-length in six years, an LP titled Psy Opera, the alternative pop singer-songwriter guested on the Sunday (Oct. 11) episode of Swiftologist’s Proto Pop podcast and revealed that the music is entirely conceptual and heavily inspired by her relationship to artificial intelligence. She did, however, share that the album will come in two parts, and that the second will feature way more insight into her personal life.
