Time for our weekly check on Canadian CD and vinyl sales as well as streaming stats (27 Nov 2025)
It was a down week for CD and vinyl sales due to (a) fewer new releases, and (b) everyone waiting for Black Friday sales. Next week’s numbers will likely be much different, especially for vinyl due to the Black Friday edition of Record Store Day. Streaming is up, though, probably because people are listening to more Christmas music.
