After a big Canadian moment, Jonas Brothers are back on the charts.

Their greatest hits album, The Family Business, re-enters the Billboard Canadian Albums chart at No. 78, dated August 30.


It comes after the band celebrated their 20th anniversary last week (August 21) at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. It was a big moment for both Jonas Brothers and Canadian music, including meaningfully chosen guests spots by Canadian artists JP Saxe and Alessia Cara.

Previously, the 2023 album spent four weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 75. On Canadian Albums, three of the trio’s albums have hit No. 1, including 2008’s A Little Bit Longer, 2009’s Lines, Vines and Trying Times and 2019’s Happiness Begins.

The Family Business boasts some of the trio’s biggest hits, including “Burnin’ Up,” “S.O.S,” and “Sucker,” which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 after its 2019 release.

The brothers are set to take their Greetings from Your Hometown 20th anniversary tour to the West Coast on September 18 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena.

This week, Tate McRae is also experiencing a rise on the Canadian Albums chart after her cross-country dates on the Miss Possessive world tour.

After performing at arenas nationwide – which included a stop at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena — two of McRae’s albums are climbing the ranks. 2023’s Think Later rises 40-36 and her most recent album, So Close to What, moves up two spots to No. 6. The former album features “Greedy,” which peaked at No. 1 on the Canadian Hot 100, and is McRae’s tour closing track.

Both Justin Bieber and The Weeknd maintain their spots in the top 10. Bieber’s Swag is at No. 4, while the latter’s second greatest hits album, The Highlights, comes in at No. 5. The Weeknd remains in the top 20, with Hurry Up Tomorrow, which dropped 13-18.

Drake is climbing the charts with multiple entries. His collaborative album with PartyNext Door, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, hits No. 24, while four of Drake's solo projects are also rising. Take Care climbs 58-50, while Views rises 65-62. Certified Lover Boy moves up 10 spots to No. 85, and For All The Dogs re-enters the chart at No. 93 — all have previously peaked at No. 1.

At the top of the chart, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack notches the top spot for a second week after dethroning Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem to No. 2..
