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.
