Two Canadian stars have strong debuts on their home charts this week. Tate McRae and The Weeknd have both landed in the top 20 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 with their new singles.

McRae's "It's ok I'm ok," arrives at No. 12, eight spots higher than its placement at No. 20 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart. The single continues McRae's Y2K throwback aesthetic, drawing on mid-2000s Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears. The video has racked up nearly 10 million views in under two weeks.


It's a good sign for Tate McRae, who's showing her continued chart prowess after last year's "Greedy" went to No. 1 on both the Canadian and American Hot 100.

The Weeknd, meanwhile, is throwing things back a little further, with his new single "Dancing in the Flames" leaning into '80s synths and percussion. The song, which arrives at No. 15 on the Canadian Hot 100 — and No. 14 in the U.S. — is the first single from his upcoming sixth album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The upbeat track is accompanied by a dark video, which finds The Weeknd driving through a storm and eventually caught in a car wreck.

Elsewhere on the charts, Shaboozey holds onto No. 1 for the 17th week — he only has three more to go before he breaks the record for longest-running No. 1, currently held by Lil Nas X. Billboard Canada presented him with an award at his Toronto concert honouring the impressive run.

Playboi Carti debuts "All Red" at No. 17, Teddy Swims lands some "Bad Dreams" at No. 63, and the Charli XCX and Troye Sivan collab "Talk Talk" debuts at No. 66, amidst their joint headlining tour.

Over on the albums chart, Sabrina Carpenter notches a fourth week at No. 1, and Avril Lavigne's Greatest Hits re-enters at No. 72 as the Canadian pop icon wraps up her tour of the same name.

Neil Young Endorses Kamala Harris For President: ‘Cast Your Vote For a Beautiful Future For Your Family’

The rocker joins a long list of artists supporting the sitting VP in her race against Donald Trump.

Neil Young has made it clear he’s no fan of Donald Trump. The “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” guitar hero has threatened to sue twice impeached convicted felon Trump before for playing his songs at campaign rallies, and over the weekend Young made it clear that he does not want to give the former President a second chance in Washington.

“Kamala Harris — She is an honest forthright truth teller who is experienced in the White House, free from ambiguity or evasiveness, who goes straight to the point,” wrote Young on his Archives site on Friday about the sitting Vice President, who is less than a month away from possibly becoming the nation’s first female President.
