It is his fourth consecutive chart-topping album, his first since 2018’s My Dear Melancholy, and it is the second No. 1 album in 2020 from a Canadian artist (following Justin Bieber’s Changes). The Weeknd has two songs landing in the top ten of the Streaming Songs chart, with Blinding Lights moving 9-3, and In Your Eyes debuting at No. 8.

Following his passing on March 20, Kenny Rogers’ The Best Of Kenny Rogers: Through The Years enters at 12 and is the top consumed Country release for the week.
