The Black Eyed Peas oust Coldplay from the No. 1 spot.

After dining on Coldplay for the last month, Canada wanted a little taste of the Black Eyed Peas.

The Los Angeles-based group's latest album "Monkey Business" hit the No. 1 spot in the country, racking up sales of 18,000, according to data compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.

Coldplay's "X&Y," which held the top position for four consecutive weeks, dropped to No. 2 on sales of just under 17,000, while the Backstreet Boys' "Never Gone" (11,000) remained at No. 3 for a second straight week.

The Foo Fighters' "In Your Honor," Il Divo's self-titled album, and The Offspring's "Greatest Hits" remained at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.

Michael Buble's "It's Time" moved up three slots to No. 7, Green Day's "American Idiot" claimed No. 8, Gwen Stefani's "Love.Angel.Music.Baby" dropped one to No. 9, and System of a Down's "Mezmerize" sank from No. 7 to No. 10.

Notable debuts this week included Bif Naked's "Superbeautifulmonster" at No. 19, Bizarre's "Hannicap Circus" at No. 21, Ying Yang Twins' "United States of Atlanta" at No. 24, George Strait's "Somewhere Down in Texas" at No. 25, and Esthero's "Wikked Lil' Grrrls" at No. 43.

In the U.S., George Strait checked in at No. 1, followed by Ying Yang Twins in secdond, Coldplay in third, Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" in fourth, and Cassidy's "I'm a Hustla" in fifth.
