Drake holds No. 1 for a second straight week as the entire Top 5 stands still. In the chart dated October 31, 2026, “Janice STFU” repeats at the top with 384 points, built on a No. 5 rank at Apple Music Canada and a No. 13 rank at Spotify Canada. A frozen Top 5 is a rare kind of chart week. It says the songs Canada played most last week are, in the same order, the songs Canada played most this week, and it sets up a simple question for next week: does anything in the country have the momentum to break the hold.
The stability at the top sits over real movement underneath. The eligible pool held at 24 songs, Drake leads 15 of the 20 published positions, and the bottom of the chart turned over completely, with four new entries arriving between No. 17 and No. 20. The Weeknd placed two songs, Karan Aujla held two positions inside the Top 10, and Tory Lanez returned to the chart with a Spotify-only entry. This is a consumption chart, so every one of those facts comes from Canadian listening on the two source charts, not from an editorial call.
The Top 5
1. Drake, “Janice STFU” (SAME, 384 points). The No. 1 song in Canada for a second week is the fourth track from Drake’s album Iceman, released on May 15, 2026 and serviced to United States rhythmic radio on May 19. The song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the top spot for two weeks, becoming Drake’s 14th Hot 100 leader. Its chorus interpolates Lykke Li’s 2011 song “I Follow Rivers,” a hook that has followed the record through a busy October: a copyright claim filed against the song this month was denied by Drake’s representatives and then voluntarily withdrawn by the songwriter, as Exclaim reported on October 27. None of that slowed Canadian listening. The song improved on both source charts this week, moving from No. 7 to No. 5 at Apple Music Canada and from No. 15 to No. 13 at Spotify Canada, and its point total rose from 380 to 384.
2. Drake, “Quebec” (SAME, 365 points). The solo cut from the HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe edition, released on streaming services on October 2, 2026, holds at No. 2 with ranks of No. 10 at Apple Music Canada and No. 27 at Spotify Canada. “Quebec” first surfaced inside FOMO, the short film Drake premiered on a YouTube livestream on September 15, and it arrived with real chart credentials: it debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17 and entered at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart in the United States. A title that speaks directly to a Canadian audience keeps doing exactly that at home, where it remains the strongest solo Drake record of the deluxe set.
3. Drake and Don Toliver, “Solar Eclipse” (SAME, 345 points). The clearest entry point of the FOMO additions holds at No. 3, ranked No. 14 at Apple Music Canada and No. 43 at Spotify Canada. Released on October 2 as part of HABIBTI (FOMO), with a standalone video following on October 6, the song debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, gave Don Toliver the highest charting song of his career to date, and extended Drake’s record for the most Top 10 hits in Hot 100 history to 91. It also opened at No. 1 on Hot R and B and Hip Hop Songs, Toliver’s first leader on that chart. The record reworks Ella Langley’s country hit “Choosin’ Texas” into a hip hop and R and B setting, and Canadian listeners have kept it in the same position for a second week.
4. Drake, Don Toliver and Yebba, “Cold Shoulder” (SAME, 314 points). The second Toliver collaboration from the same deluxe edition holds at No. 4, at No. 25 on Apple Music Canada and No. 63 on Spotify Canada. “Cold Shoulder” debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17, completing a run of three Top 10 Canadian debuts from the four FOMO additions. Where “Solar Eclipse” plays as the crossover record, “Cold Shoulder” is the slower R and B entry of the set, and its second week at the same position shows the deluxe audience is staying with the full package rather than a single song.
5. Drake, “Headlines” (SAME, 274 points). The catalogue anchor of the Top 5 holds its position with a No. 28 rank at Apple Music Canada and a No. 100 rank at Spotify Canada. “Headlines” is a catalogue song Canada is still playing, not a new release: it 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. Its parent album is part of the current Drake story again, sitting at No. 3 on the reported Top R and B and Hip Hop Albums sales list in mid October, and “Headlines” improved its Apple Music Canada rank from No. 37 to No. 28 this week. Fifteen years on, the record is outscoring every current single in the country except the four songs above it.

Biggest movers
The biggest climber this week is The Weeknd’s “Wicked Games,” up four positions from No. 15 to No. 11 on 109 points, earned entirely on the Apple Music Canada leg at No. 92. It is the largest gain on the chart, ahead of three position climbs by Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” (No. 9 to No. 6) and “National Treasures” (No. 19 to No. 16). The highest new entry is another Weeknd catalogue record, “Blinding Lights,” which enters at No. 17 with 57 points from a No. 144 rank at Apple Music Canada. The biggest fallers are a tie at two positions: Karan Aujla and MXRCI’s “Straight Up” slips from No. 7 to No. 9, and “Ran To Atlanta” by Drake, Future and Molly Santana slips from No. 10 to No. 12. In a week when the Top 5 did not move at all, a two position slip counting as the week’s biggest fall says more about the chart’s overall steadiness than about either song.
The rest of the picture
Karan Aujla and MXRCI remain the only non Drake act inside the Top 10, holding No. 7 with “Ashke” and No. 9 with “Straight Up,” both from the AUJLA SZN run that placed five songs on the launch week chart. Both songs score on Apple Music Canada alone this week, at No. 36 and No. 88, with no Spotify Canada rank, which keeps their ceiling lower than the dual chart records above them. Below them, the catalogue story deepens: “Passionfruit” holds at No. 8, “One Dance” climbs to a new peak at No. 10, and “God’s Plan” rises to No. 13, so four Drake catalogue records sit in the Top 13 alongside the current singles. The four new entries at the bottom, “Blinding Lights,” “Money In The Grave,” “The Color Violet” by Tory Lanez at No. 19 and “Knife Talk” at No. 20, are all catalogue records too. Canada is not just playing the new Drake albums. It is playing the whole catalogue, all at once, and this chart is built to show exactly that.
How this chart works
The iimiTV Canadian Chart blends two Canada specific source charts, Apple Music Canada and Spotify Canada, by position points: a song earns 201 minus its rank on each chart, and the two legs are added together. Only songs led by Canadian hip hop and R and B artists are eligible, featured guest appearances for non Canadian leads do 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. This week’s eligible pool was 24 songs, and the published Top 20 above is the whole story of that pool’s top end.
What to watch next week is whether the freeze breaks. The Top 5 cannot hold the same order forever, and the pressure is building from two directions: “Hold On, We’re Going Home” has climbed into No. 6 with room on both source charts, and The Weeknd now has the week’s biggest climber and its highest new entry in the same seven days. Watch whether Karan Aujla’s two Top 10 songs find a Spotify Canada foothold, whether the four new catalogue entries hold a second week, and whether “Janice STFU” makes it three weeks at No. 1. The next chart is dated November 7, 2026.
