Daniel Caesar is building momentum ahead of his next record.
The Oshawa-raised R&B star is back on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week with two re-entries after a series of viral, short-notice pop-up concerts over the past two weeks.
On the chart dated Oct. 11, 2025, his most recent release, 2023's Never Enough re-enters at No. 80, while his fan-favourite debut Freudian (2017) lands just within the chart at No. 99. Both albums initially peaked in the top 20, with Never Enough notching a top 10 position at No. 8.
Caesar has been making waves online with a handful of spontaneous outdoor concerts in promotion of his next album Son of Spergy, which releases Oct. 24.

The first concert was held at a packed Trinity Bellwoods Park in his hometown of Toronto on Sept. 27, where Caesar played forthcoming songs like "Baby Blue," "Root of All Evil," "Who Knows," and "Moon." The singer played in other Canadian cities throughout the following week, with sets at Parc des Hirondelles in Montreal (Sept. 28) and John Hendry Park in Vancouver (Oct. 2), before heading south of the border to Montana and California.
Fellow Toronto artist and Son of Spergy's executive producer Mustafa has been joining Caesar for the unconventional tour. Caesar spoke about playing pop-up shows with Mustafa in a recent Billboard and Billboard Canada cover story.
“It’s really not even for the fans. It’s for us on the stage,” Caesar revealed. “But this way we get to talk and figure out our ideas in public. It contributes to figuring out who we are and what we want to write about.”
In the same interview, he credits Mustafa as being one of the people who pushed him to collaborate with other artists, leading to a diverse and impressive list of collaborators on Son of Spergy that includes Sampha, Clairo, Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Rex Orange County, Yebba and more.
