The Weeknd Enjoys Second Consecutive Week At No. 1

By FYI Staff

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.

Partynextdoor’s Partymobile debuts at 3 and marks the highest-charting album to date from the Canadian hip-hop artist. It surpasses the No. 4 peak of his 2016 release Partynextdoor 3.

The third new entry in the top five this week goes to Pearl Jam’s Gigaton, at 5, scoring the highest album sales for the week. It is their first charting album since 2013’s Lightning Bolt debuted at No. 1.

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

Other debuts this week include Joyner Lucas’ debut studio album ADH,D at 9; Jessie Reyez’s Before Love Came to Kill Us, at 17, and Loud Luxury’s EP Nights Like This, at 55.

Courtney Love Clarifies Melissa Auf der Maur Gig Talk — ‘No Hole Reunion’

After seeming to tease a comeback by her entire group, Love said she and her former bassist will definitely play "some shows, new songs" together.

Rumors of a full Hole reunion are, apparently, slightly exaggerated. After Courtney Love appeared to tease news of getting her 1990s grunge pop band together for their first performance since a one-off gig in 2012 in a cryptic post on Tuesday (March 3), the frontwoman clarified things on Thursday (March 5).

Popping the speculative balloon, Love explained that the “Malibu” band that has been on hiatus since 2002 is not getting pulled out of mothballs after all, but that she is planning some shows with former bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. The update came in the form of Love commenting in a SPIN magazine Instagram post about the news, in which she wrote “no Hole reunion.”
