The Weeknd Returns To 1st Place On This Week's Albums Chart

By FYI Staff

After two weeks out of the top spot, The Weeknd’s After Hours returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for a fourth week at the top, logging 5,200 total consumption units and the highest on-demand stream total for the week.


Last week’s No. 1 album, DaBaby’s Blame It on Baby drops to 2nd place, Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding slides 6-3, and Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia each drop one position to Nos. 4 and 5 respectively.

The top debut of the week goes to Lennon Stella’s Three Two One, at No. 10. It is her highest-charting release to date, surpassing the No. 60 peak of her EP Love, Me in November 2018.

Other debuts this week include YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s 38 Baby 2, at No. 24; and Trivium’s What The Dead Men Say, at 43, which earns the highest album sales total in the week.

ArtistsCAN’s Lean on Me, the charity single recording by top Canadian artists for covid-19 relief initiatives and premiered during last Sunday’s Stronger Together television special, debuts at number one on the Digital Songs chart. It is the second version of the song to reach the top five in 2020, following the Bill Withers’ original version of the song which entered at No. 4 following his passing in April.

Travis Scott & Kid Cudi’s The Scotts debut at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart. It’s Scott’s fourth streaming song chart-topper and first since Highest In the Room in October 2019.
