This news comes the same week that Drake’s most recent album, VIEWS, was certified double platinum.
Other chart achievements for Drake include being the first male artist with three or more weeks at the top of both Billboard’s Top 200 albums and Hot 100 chart since 50 Cent in 2005, and passing Eminem’s 2010 streak for Recovery when VIEWS hit the peak of the Top 200 albums chart for six weeks.
