iimiTV Canadian Chart: Week of November 7, 2026

By No Excuse
Share

Drake holds No. 1 for a third straight week with “Janice STFU.” The top three does not move at all in the chart dated November 7, 2026, but the stillness ends one rung down: “Headlines,” a catalogue single from 2011, climbs to No. 4 and pushes “Cold Shoulder” down to No. 5. “Janice STFU” scores 385 points on a No. 4 rank at Apple Music Canada and a No. 13 rank at Spotify Canada, and its lead over No. 2 widened from 19 points last week to 57, the largest gap at the top in the chart’s three weeks.

The rest of the chart moved more than the top suggests. Drake now leads 16 of the 20 published positions, the eligible pool narrowed from 24 songs to 22, and the published Top 20 changed by exactly one song: The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” leaves after a single week, and Drake’s “Too Good” with Rihanna enters at No. 18. Tory Lanez posts the biggest climb of the week, Karan Aujla and MXRCI place two songs in the top 14, and the bottom two positions are both held by songs that fell four places. Every one of those facts comes from Canadian listening on the two source charts, because this is a consumption chart, not an editorial ranking.

The Top 5

1. Drake, “Janice STFU” (SAME, 385 points). A third week at No. 1 for the fourth track from Drake’s album Iceman, released on May 15, 2026. The song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the top spot for two weeks, and its chorus interpolates Lykke Li’s 2011 song “I Follow Rivers.” The record spent October carrying a copyright claim over that chorus; Drake’s representatives denied the claim and the songwriter then voluntarily withdrew the case, as Exclaim reported. Canadian listening never blinked: the song improved its Apple Music Canada rank from No. 5 to No. 4, held No. 13 at Spotify Canada, and raised its point total from 384 to 385.

2. Drake, “Quebec” (SAME, 328 points). The solo highlight of the HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe edition, released on streaming services on October 2, 2026, holds No. 2 for a third week. “Quebec” debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17, and it stays the strongest solo Drake record of the deluxe set at home. Its week turned on one leg: it held close to its Apple Music Canada position at No. 14, but its Spotify Canada rank slid from No. 27 to No. 60, which cut its points from 365 to 328 and opened most of the new gap to No. 1.

3. Drake and Don Toliver, “Solar Eclipse” (SAME, 305 points). The FOMO collaboration holds No. 3 while its two legs move in opposite directions: up from No. 14 to No. 12 at Apple Music Canada, down from No. 43 to No. 85 at Spotify Canada. Released on October 2, 2026 as part of HABIBTI (FOMO), with a standalone video following on October 6, the song reworks Ella Langley’s country hit “Choosin’ Texas” into a hip hop and R and B setting. It debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17 and at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, which gave Don Toliver the highest charting song of his career to date.

4. Drake, “Headlines” (UP 1, 298 points). The catalogue anchor of this chart climbs one place to a new peak at No. 4, and it is a catalogue song Canada is still playing, not a new release: “Headlines” was released as a single on August 9, 2011, produced by Boi-1da and Noah “40” Shebib, ahead of the album Take Care on November 15, 2011. The record earned an RIAA 10x Platinum certification dated October 24, 2025, and this week it improved on both source charts, from No. 28 to No. 23 at Apple Music Canada and from No. 100 to No. 81 at Spotify Canada. Fifteen years after release, it outscores every current single on this chart except the three songs above it.

5. Drake, Don Toliver and Yebba, “Cold Shoulder” (DOWN 1, 237 points). The second Toliver collaboration from the deluxe edition slips one place, and the slide is a Spotify story: its Spotify Canada rank fell from No. 63 to No. 122 while its Apple Music Canada rank moved from No. 25 to No. 43. “Cold Shoulder” debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17, completing three Top 10 Canadian debuts from the four FOMO additions. It remains the slower R and B entry of that set, and a No. 5 finish in its third week says the deluxe audience is still listening to the full package.

Biggest Movers

The biggest climber is Tory Lanez with “The Color Violet,” up nine positions from No. 19 to No. 10 on 122 points. The climb is powered by one leg: its Spotify Canada rank jumped from No. 157 to No. 79, while the song still has no Apple Music Canada rank. The next largest gain belongs to Drake’s “Shabang,” up five positions from No. 14 to a new peak at No. 9. The highest new entry is “Too Good” by Drake featuring Rihanna, in at No. 18 with 43 points from a No. 158 rank at Apple Music Canada. It is another catalogue record Canada is playing again, released as a single from the album Views on July 26, 2016. The biggest faller is “Straight Up” by Karan Aujla and MXRCI, down five positions from No. 9 to No. 14 on 106 points, ahead of two four-position falls at the very bottom, “Whisper My Name” down to No. 19 and “National Treasures” down to No. 20.

The Rest of the Picture

Karan Aujla and MXRCI’s “Ashke” climbs to a new peak at No. 6 with 172 points, still earned on Apple Music Canada alone at No. 29, and “Passionfruit” reaches a new peak at No. 7. The catalogue depth under the current singles is the chart’s standing story: “One Dance” slips one place to No. 11 because its Apple Music Canada rank fell to No. 197 even as it held No. 84 at Spotify Canada, “God’s Plan” holds No. 13, and The Weeknd’s “Wicked Games” falls from No. 11 to No. 15. Both Aujla songs remain Apple-only records, which keeps their ceiling below the dual-chart songs above them, and with “Blinding Lights” gone after one week, The Weeknd is down to a single song on the chart.

How This Chart Works

The iimiTV Canadian Chart blends two Canada-specific source charts, the Apple Music Canada Top Songs chart (positions 1 to 200, from Apple’s Top 100 feed extended by the same chart’s published extension) and the Spotify Canada Daily Top 200 (read through the Kworb mirror of Spotify Charts), by position points: a song earns 201 minus its rank on each chart, a song absent from a chart scores zero on that leg, and the two legs are added together. Ties break by best single-chart rank, then by Apple Music Canada rank. Only songs led or co-led by Canadian hip hop and R and B artists are eligible; a featured guest appearance does not count, and catalogue songs rank on the same terms as new releases when Canada is genuinely playing them. The full methodology is published with the chart, and positions are never adjusted by hand. The chart is compiled and published every Friday from the most recent source charts then available and is dated for the Saturday chart week, and movement markers count the published Top 20: NEW means new to the published Top 20. This week’s eligible pool was 22 songs, and the published Top 20 above covers the top end of that pool.

What to watch next week is whether anything can reach the top three. “Janice STFU” goes for a fourth week at No. 1 with a 57-point cushion, so the pressure has to come from below: “The Color Violet” needs an Apple Music Canada leg to turn a Spotify-driven climb into a Top 5 run, “Ashke” needs the same foothold to push past No. 6, and “Headlines” has a real path to No. 3 if its catalogue surge holds another week. Watch also whether “Too Good” holds its place in a second week and whether the bottom of the chart, where four songs sit within 16 points of each other, turns over again. The next chart is dated November 14, 2026.
