List of best-selling albums in Canada

This is a list of the best-selling albums in Canada that have been certified by Music Canada, formerly known as Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA).

Album certifications
Music Canada provides "certifications" for album sales, similar to the RIAA's. The certification levels for albums released after May 1, 2008, are:
 * Gold: 40,000 units (previously 50,000)
 * Platinum: 80,000 units (previously 100,000)
 * Diamond: 800,000 units (previously 1,000,000)

Note: Multi-Platinum certification refers to albums that have sold 160,000 units or more (i.e. 160,000 is double Platinum) but have not yet sold 800,000 units (Diamond certification).
