Country superstar Tim McGraw beat out four other new releases for the top spot on the Canadian album charts this week.

He also grabbed the No. 1 spot south of the border, selling a respectable 325,000 copies of "Let It Go" in the U.S.

Back in Canada, Dallas Green's City and Colour checked in at No. 3 with "Live" (over 7,000), Nelly Furtado's "Loose" remained at No. 4, while Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion" and Neil Young's CD/DVD "Live at Massey Hall 1971" both fell three notches to No. 5 and No. 6.

Young Buck's "Buck the World" and Elton John's "Rocket Man: Number Ones" both premiered and No. 7 and No. 8.

Meanwhile, the heavy new release week meant band news for Modest Mouse. After their big first week at No. 1, the Washington indie rockers slid all the way down to No. 9.

Montreal's Arcade Fire rounded out the top 10 at No. 10.

Other notable debuts this week included Pierre Lapointe's "Pierre Lapointe" at No. 20, Jesse Cook's "Frontiers" at No. 22, Kaiser Chiefs' "Yours Truly, Angry Mob" at No. 26, Stevie Nicks' "Crystal Visions...
