Hector Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Drake earns his seventh straight Canadian chart-topping album and sets a one-week on-demand streaming record with the release of More Life. The self-described 20-track ‘playlist’ album sold 26,000 copies and generated 43 million on-demand streams in its first week. This beats the previous record-holder, The Weeknd, whose Starboy album shot to the top with 27M on-demand streams last November. It’s not a clean sweep of record book entries though as redhead Ed Sheeran’s Divided album scored 75K so-called consumption units blending sales and streams a few weeks back. By comparison, Drake is runner-up with 57K. Six songs from More Life have now hit the top ten streaming chart, led by “Passionfruit” at 2, and the 6 star’s album catalogue is hotter than a listing for a starter home with garage in Toronto. Ed Sheeran’s Divide necessarily gets the boot, free falling all the way to 2nd place with 23,000 total consumption units piled on to the previous 100,000 he’s accumulated in prior two weeks. Teddy has the top digital song download and the second highest on-demand stream totals for the week and his hit single, “Shape of You,” continues its 11-week run at the top of the Streaming and Songs charts. Metallica’s “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct falls thunderously to 3, posting a 7% consumption increase. Depeche Mode’s Spirit debuts at 4, falling shy of the No. 2 entry of their last album, ‘09s Sounds of the Universe. All six of the group’s SoundScan-era studio albums debuted in the top four. Other entries: 07 NE Blossom - Milky Chance 15 NE So Good - Zara Larsson 16 NE Better You Than Me - Rick Ross 20 NE Climate Change - Pitbull 39 NE Hot Thoughts - Spoon 47 NE Definitive Collection - Chuck Berry http://www.fyimusicnews.ca/articles/2017/03/27/charts-week
