Shubh’s 'Balenci' Rises On Billboard Canadian Hot 100
Plus, Montreal singer Alicia Moffet arrives on the chart with “Lay Your Light” at No. 98 while Alex Warren's "Ordinary" falls out of the top spot after a whopping 21 weeks.

Shubh is continuing his chart hot streak.
The Brampton-based Punjabi artist’s newest track, “Balenci,” rises to No. 89 in its second week on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, dated September 13.
Shubh is uber-confident on the single, rapping about the high-fashion brand, power and success over an assertive string-based beat.
“Balenci” was released days before he called off his North American tour due to the Air Canada strike. Though he isn't playing for his home country's fans, his songs continue to make a major impact on the Canadian charts.
Shubh is one of the country’s fastest-growing Punjabi artists. Earlier this year, his single “Supreme” peaked at No. 54, off his album Sicario — which debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart — and 2023’s “King Shit” reached No. 13.
His talent hasn't gone unnoticed in the industry— Shubh is one of SOCAN's 2025 Special Achievement Winners, receiving the music rights organization's Breakout Songwriter Award on September 29.
Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is notching 11 debuts on the chart.
The tracks are off the Grammy-winning artist’s album, Man’s Best Friend, which hit No.1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the Canadian Albums chart this week, knocking the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack to No. 2. It’s Carpenter's second No. 1, following 2024’s Short n’ Sweet. Time will tell if Man’s Best Friend beats the former’s nine-week reign in Canada.
Her second single, “Tears,” enters the Canadian Hot 100 at No. 4, while lead single “Manchild” rises 6-3. Carpenter’s other entries include: “Nobody’s Son” (No. 18), “When Did You Get Hot?” (No. 19), “My Man On Willpower” (No. 20), “Sugar Talking” (No. 22), “Go Go Juice” (No. 26), “House Tour” (No. 29), “Goodbye” (No. 33), “Never Getting Laid” (No. 34), “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night” (No. 35) and “Don’t Worry, I’ll Make You Worry” (No. 41).
Montreal singer Alicia Moffet — and UP NEXT showcase performer at Billboard Canada's THE STAGE at NXNE — is earning a new entry this week — her track “Lay Your Light” arrives at No. 98.
Currently an Airplay chart success, Moffet’s dance-pop track boasts her soulful vocals and a captivating, steady beat. The singer-songwriter’s May 2025 album No, I'm Not Crying was released on Cult Nation — the label behind talents like Charlotte Cardin and Lubalin — and it looks like they have another winner on their hands.
At the top of the charts, KPop Demon Hunters’ “Golden” rises 2-1, dethroning Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which previously spent 21 consecutive weeks at No. 1, the second-longest No. 1 ever, after Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which spent 25 weeks as the reigning track. If the track rises back up to No. 1, it still has a chance at the record.
