The Weeknd Topples Adele With 'Dawn FM' Debuting At No. 1

By FYI Staff

The Weeknd’s Dawn FM debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, earning the highest album sales, on-demand streams and digital song downloads for the week. It is his sixth straight chart-topping album and first since The Highlights hit No. 1 eleven months ago. It's also worth noting that there were no physical sales pushing the 16-track album. The CD and LP are to be available on Jan. 28.


Gunna’s Ds4ever debuts at No. 2 with the second highest on-demand stream total for the week. It is his second highest-charting album to date, only surpassed by his last release, the No. 1 Wunna, in June 2020.

The soundtrack for Encanto slides one position, to No. 3, despite a 30% consumption increase. Adele’s 30, last week’s No. 1 album, drops to 4th place with The Weeknd’s The Highlights holding at 5.

The only other new entry in the top 60 is the soundtrack to the computer-animated musical comedy film Sing 2 that makes its entrance at 59. The 17-track album includes songs performed by U2, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Bomba Estereo, Taron Egerton, Halsey, and Pharrell Williams.

Oscar Voting, Nominations Announcement Delayed Again Due to L.A. Wildfires

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has announced updates to its 2025 Oscars key dates and schedule of events due to the impact of the Los Angeles-area fires. The Oscar telecast is still set for March 2, but the nominations announcement is being delayed for the second time to Jan. 23 — and will now be held virtually. The Oscars nominees luncheon, always an A-list event, will not be held this year.

“We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many in our community,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang said in a joint statement. “The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship.
