The iimiTV Canadian Chart starts today, and its first week belongs to one artist. Drake holds the entire top five, with “Janice STFU” at No. 1, “Quebec” at No. 2 and his Don Toliver collaboration “Solar Eclipse” at No. 3. The chart counts what Canada is actually playing: it blends the Apple Music Canada and Spotify Canada song charts and ranks the Canadian hip hop and R&B songs on them by position.
Below the sweep, the week tells two more stories. Karan Aujla places all five songs from his AUJLA SZN 1 EP on the board, the strongest full-project showing by any artist not named Drake. And the catalogue refuses to sit down: “Headlines” is a Top 5 song in 2026, with “Passionfruit,” “One Dance” and “God’s Plan” all charting alongside the new material.
The Top 5
No. 1: “Janice STFU” by Drake. One of the runaway hits from this summer’s HABIBTI, it is still the biggest Canadian hip hop song in the country, sitting at No. 7 on Apple Music Canada and No. 15 on Spotify Canada this week. No other song was close on points.
No. 2: “Quebec.” The solo highlight of the HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe, which arrived on October 2, 2026. Billboard Canada had it debut at No. 5 on the Canadian Hot 100, and on this chart it finishes the week as the second most played Canadian hip hop song in the country.
No. 3: “Solar Eclipse” by Drake and Don Toliver. The other deluxe standout, built on an interpolation of Ella Langley’s country hit “Choosin’ Texas.” It debuted at No. 6 on the Canadian Hot 100, has its own official video, and is the highest ranked collaboration on this week’s chart.
No. 4: “Cold Shoulder” by Drake, Don Toliver and Yebba. The third song from the deluxe four-pack in the top four, and the only Top 5 entry carried more by Apple Music listeners than Spotify listeners this week.
No. 5: “Headlines” by Drake. Fifteen years after it first topped charts, the Take Care era single is a Top 5 song in Canada again, at No. 37 on Apple Music Canada and inside the Spotify Canada Top 100. The deluxe bump lifted the whole catalogue, and this is the clearest proof.

Just outside the 20, in points order: “The Color Violet” by Tory Lanez, “The Hills” by The Weeknd and “Money In The Grave” by Drake. Twenty-six eligible songs charted across the two services this week.
The Biggest Debut
Every song on this chart is a debut in week one, so the biggest debut is the top of the pile: “Janice STFU” enters the iimiTV Canadian Chart at No. 1. The deeper debut story belongs to Karan Aujla. His rap-heavy EP AUJLA SZN 1, made with producer MXRCI and released on September 25, 2026, puts all five of its songs on the chart at once: “Ashke” at No. 6, “Straight Up” at No. 7, “Aujla Szn” at No. 16, “Real Bad Man” at No. 18 and “Rap Killa” at No. 20. Punjabi-Canadian rap is Canadian hip hop, and this week it is the only other camp with real estate on the board.
Sidhu Moose Wala’s “Kaali Hoodie,” with Bohemia and The Kidd, lands at No. 12, and The Weeknd’s “Wicked Games” takes No. 15, a catalogue R&B record outpointing most of the new releases around it.
How This Chart Works
The iimiTV Canadian Chart is a consumption chart, compiled the same way every week from two public, Canada-specific sources: the Apple Music Canada Top Songs chart and the Spotify Canada Daily Top 200. A song earns points from each chart by position, 200 points for a No. 1 down to 1 point for a No. 200, and the totals set the order. Only Canadian hip hop and R&B artists are eligible, lead artist only, and the full methodology, including the eligibility rules and the source list, is published with the chart so any reader can check the math. Positions are never adjusted by hand.
The chart returns every Friday. Next week brings the first movement: which of Drake’s five can hold, and whether anything from outside Toronto can take a seat at the table.
