By FYI Staff

Justin Timberlake’s Man Of The Woods debuts at number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 18,000 total consumption units. The album scores the highest sales total and song download total and has the second highest audio-on-demand stream total for the week. It is his fourth straight chart-topping album. Following his performance at the halftime show at the Super Bowl, two of his previous albums return to the chart, with 2006’s Futuresex/Love Sounds landing at No. 94 and 2002’s Justified, his only solo album not to reach No. 1, coming in at No. 162.


Last week’s No. 1 album, Migos’ Culture II, drops to No. 2 but still has the top audio-on-demand stream total for the week with over ten and a half million streams. Ed Sheeran’s Divide falls one spot to No. 3, and Camila Cabello’s Camila holds at No. 4

Other albums debuting in the top 40 this week include Rich Brian’s Amen at No. 18, Milk & Bone’s Deception Bay at No. 22 and Awolnation’s Here Come The Runts at No. 25.

Drake’s “God’s Plan” holds at the top of the Streaming Songs chart for the third straight week while Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” spends its 16th non-consecutive week at the top of the Digital Songs chart.

Canadian Rocker Tom Wilson Brings His Fascinating Life Story to the Stage with 'Beautiful Scars'

The world premiere of the musical adaptation of the Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Lee Harvey Osmond songwriter's best-selling memoir about discovering his Indigenous identity begins a run in Hamilton on April 26.

Tonight (Friday, April 26) marks the official world premiere of Beautiful Scars, a musical based upon Tom Wilson’s best-selling 2017 memoir, Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the Road Home. The play is being staged by Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton, Ontario, the hometown of Wilson, the charismatic rock-roots singer/songwriter, visual artist and author well-known on the Canadian music scene for his work in Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Lee Harvey Osmond.

The launch of the play has been keenly-anticipated, not just locally but beyond. Canadian literary icon Margaret Atwood visited Tom Wilson during rehearsals for the play, and many Wilson friends and fans from Toronto made the trek to Hamilton for the first preview show on Wednesday, one attended by Billboard Canada.
