Canada's insatiable appetite for the Tragically Hip sent the rock band's entire discography back onto the Billboard charts last week. Billboard's Canadian album chart is tallied by Nielsen Music and based on album sales, digital song sales and audio on-demand streams. In late 2014, the Billboard album chart tweaked its rules to qualify 1,500 song streams from an album as equivalent to one album sale. The Hip's other albums, which include a number of live concert recordings, also found spots on the chart. Overall, the band's total album sales rose 157 per cent from the previous week, Nielsen Music reported, while digital song sales were up 342 per cent and online streams are up 185 per cent.
