Alex Warren lands in the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 with the anthemic folk song “Carry You Home”

Californian YouTuber and musician Alex Warren turned a major personal event into a professional milestone, debuting at number 83 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 this week with “Carry You Home.”

The video for the song also serves as a recap of Warren’s wedding to his partner Kouvr Annon, complete with clips of an emotional Warren reading his wedding vows to Kouvr.

The song is in the style of the anthemic folk music of popular 2010s acts like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers, a sound that has returned to the charts thanks to the recent breakthrough of artists like Noah Kahan and Michael Marcagi. The style is particularly popular in Canada, where folk rock has always had a large audience.

Warren isn’t on the charts in the U.S. yet, but with 16.3 million TikTok followers, an attention-grabbing video, and wedding season in full swing, he’s well positioned for further chart success.

Elsewhere on the Canadian Hot 100, a controversial Drake has two new entries, both from Camila Cabello’s new album C,XOXO. “Hot Uptown,” his upbeat duet with Cabello, lands at number 42, while the solo track “Uuugly” lands at number 77.

On both tracks, Drizzy draws on some of his greatest strengths: “Hot Uptown” is a sweaty summer bop reminiscent of hits like “Too Good,” while “Uuugly” is classic, soulful Drake for late night.

Even though Kendrick Lamar isn’t quite done with Drake—the rapper released a video for the diss track “Not Like Us” last week, featuring a scathing cameo from former Raptor DeMar DeRozan—Drake seems determined to get back in the studio and move on (though “Uuugly,” with its muted threats that things could get ugly, could be taken as an indirect reference to the feud).

With “Uuugly” charting in Canada but not in the U.S., Canadians are showing that they still want to support the superstar despite the damage to his reputation.

At the top of the charts is Shaboozey with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” – which finally reached number 1 in the US this week – for the sixth week in a row at number 1.

Canadians hold their spots lower: Charlotte Cardin’s “99 Nights” hits a new high at number 74, Preston Pablo’s “Dance Alone” is at number 76 and Zeina’s “Hooked” is at number 79.
