The Montreal post-rock songwriter, also of alt-rock band Your Favorite Enemies, places one spot above PartyNextDoor’s P4 on this week’s albums chart, and Les Cowboys Fringants land a new debut on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Shaboozey hits No. 1, while Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud spills onto the charts.
Two Canadian artists had strong debuts on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week (May 11).
Montreal’s Alex Henry Foster, post-rock artist and member of alt-rock group Your Favorite Enemies, lands at No. 12 on the chart with his new album Kimiyo, a collaboration with vocalist Momoka Tobari. Mississauga R&B singer and Billboard Canada cover star PartyNextDoor grabs the next spot, at No. 13, with his new album P4.
For both artists, it’s not their first showing on the chart. Foster previously charted with his debut solo record, Windows in the Skywhich debuted at No. 6 in 2018. On Kimiyo, Foster draws on the stories of people he met in Japan in 2010 to develop a dark, spacious soundscape, with Tobari providing echoing spoken word.
It’s not the kind of music known for chart performances, but Foster has built up a strong profile throughout his career, nominated for ADISQ Awards and a Juno, and reportedly has another album and a film planned for release this year, giving him more opportunities for chart impact.
