Canadian Hot 100 - Dated 5/16/20 - Top 10 Highlights

Canadian Hot 100 - Dated 5/16/20 - Top 10 Report

The chart feels the effects of the US promotion, but to a surprisingly lesser extent than you’d expect for the same continent. Also, a certain Canadian blocks a Canadian’s promotional push...

1 (+1). Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

After being dethroned by The Scotts’ hype (more on that later), Blinding Lights returns atop for a sixth total week. This is the only leader from After Hours in Canada, as Heartless was blocked by Dance Monkey.

2 (+2). Toosie Slide by Drake

It was blocked on its debut by The Weeknd, and once more, with a full album push behind it, it gets fended off. There is a whopper of a consolation prize in the top 10 though...

3 (+7). Say So by Doja Cat ft. Nicki Minaj

The song rides the remix wave to a mighty top 5 placement, held off from further due to the crux of promo (the physical/digital bundles) being US only.

6 (-5). The Scotts by Travis Scott & Kid Cudi

Not falling to the extent it did in the US, it’s the only song this week that was a former US top 10, with the only song that hasn’t been a top 10 this week being Roses by Saint Jhn (3-4).

7 (NE). Pain 1993, Drake ft. Playboi Carti 

Matching its US start, this track heralds the album bomb, which as expected is stronger than in the US, with all songs placing in the top 50 and all but 2 in the top 40.

13. Chicago Freestyle
17. D4L with Future and Young Thug

21. Demons feat. FivioForeign &Sosa Geek
22. Time Flies
28. Desires feat. Future
29. Not You Too feat. Chris Brown

33. Deep Pockets
34. War
35. Landed
38. When to Say When
43. From Florida With Love
49. Losses

Speaking of top 40 debuts, there’s one other that didn’t pull it off in the US: Luke Combs’ Six Feet Apart, which begins at #36!

9 (+15). Savage, Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyonce

Waylaid by the UGC adjustment, this song had quite further to grow as opposed to its stateside competitor, as its airplay hadn’t reached nearly the same baseline prior to the remix.

10 (+2). Rockstar, DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch

It doesn’t quite reach its debut peak of #8, but like in other English speaking markets, the song has rallied after its dip from the album debut.
