The Beaches’ ‘No Hard Feelings’ Album Makes Top 40 on Billboard Canadian Albums Chart
The return of The Beaches has made a significant impact on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with their latest project, “No Hard Feelings,” securing the 38th position after a two-year hiatus. This achievement follows the band’s earlier success with their album “Blame My Ex,” which reached a peak of 76 on the chart in 2023. The group, comprising members Jordan and Kylie Miller, Eliza Enman-McDaniel, and Leandra Earl, kickstarted their comeback with the hit single “Last Girls at the Party,” which dominated the Billboard Canada Modern Rock Airplay chart for 11 weeks.
Despite their newfound success, The Beaches’ journey to the top has been a gradual process marked by consistent hard work and a dedicated team, including the renowned Laurie Lee Boutet, who was honored as Billboard Canada’s Manager of the Year. The band’s strategic approach and resilience have led to their recent standout performances at Osheaga and an upcoming North American tour. Notably, they are set to headline at Scotiabank Arena in their hometown on November 6 and will be featured at the prestigious Billboard Canada Women in Music event on October 1, emphasizing their culmination of efforts over the years.
Reflecting on their progress, Jordan Miller acknowledged the importance of being prepared for opportunities when they arise, emphasizing the band’s readiness to capitalize on their current success. In a similar vein, Dua Lipa’s recent concerts at Scotiabank Arena have sparked enthusiasm, paralleled by the resurgence of her album “Future Nostalgia” on the charts. The album, which includes chart-topping tracks like “Don’t Start Now,” “Physical,” and “Levitating,” has re-entered the chart at number 86, following a prolonged period of success since its release in 2020.
On the current chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man’s Best Friend” claims the top spot, displacing the KPop Demon Hunters’ soundtrack to number 2. Meanwhile, Karan Aujla’s “P-Pop Culture” maintains a position in the top 10 at number 6, alongside The Weeknd’s greatest hits compilation, “The Highlights,” which slides down to number 4. Justin Bieber’s album “Swag” has also shown resilience, rising to number 8 and paving the way for the anticipated release of his sequel “Swag II.” The dynamic shifts on the chart highlight the diverse range of musical talent vying for recognition and success in the Canadian music scene.
In conclusion, The Beaches’ achievement on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with “No Hard Feelings” underscores their perseverance and talent, positioning them as a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
