Drake’s fourth studio album VIEWS is showing no signs of letting up on the chart front.
For a third consecutive week, the project sits at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, again leaving its closest competition for dust.
During its latest week (the seven days leading to May 19), VIEWS was streamed over 186 million times, meaning the album’s songs have now been streamed 572 million times since the project was officially released on April 29.
The album’s staggered roll-out is partly responsible for its ongoing success. Initially, VIEWS was an Apple Music exclusive, meaning only subscribers of Apple’s on-demand streaming service were able to access it. However, during its third week of release, the project has been made available on other streaming services such as Spotify – opening it up to a wider audience and essentially breathing new life into the album online.

drake can’t lose
Trash album too. Royce album was wayyyyyy better and gets no shine
Another L for meek
By this time next year meek wil be irrelevant like Pliers
Yeah a half a billion people would rather listen for free then pay for that hot garbage lolol
Now half a billion people agree this album sucks
Drake thinks he’s the shit untill A real rapper calls him out then hes acts like it never happend and makes more cheesy pop songs. What a fuckin fraud. Everybody knows Drake is a big pussy! DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!
And if it came down to a street fight between Meek and Drake
Meek would destroy that boy cause Drake aint from the streets and cant fight for shit. Dude probably never fought a day in his life. Canada is not hard! You aint foolin anyone Aubrey
The way life works is you only have so long till someone confronts you on your bullshit! It will happen! Drake WILL get caught slippin @ a club or a show by someone who dont like dude (which there is alot of people) and he will get his frail ass whopped on. Its gonna happen you cant act like you run shit and not have the balls to back it up. There is always gonna be someone more hungry and more willing to go tha extra mile and Drake aint built like that. His whole persona is a facade its all made up. Aubrey=Drake, The 6? All fictious stuff invented by Aubrey as an image to sell records. Open your eyes people dont get Milli Vanillied lol
drakeislovedrakeislife
drake stays winning
6god!!
Listening to Drake’s verse on Sh*t Rmx.. all makes sense now
“Pray the real live forever man / Pray the fakes get exposed” – Drake, Know Yourself
PS – Isn’t this what he got exposed for? S/O to whomever brought that QM shit to light
Ok fake hater
Picture of Drake is hilarious as fuck.
Anyone have stats on second highest selling rap album of the past 2 years. Look at drakes numbers compared to every other rappers numbers in 2015 and 16. Its such a joke how you hipsters cant accept the fact that drake is the face of rap and he runs the rap game.
Your definitely 16. Nelly and 50 went diamond with they first and also had follow up albums also do great but eventually 16 year olds get older and dont wanna hear it anymore.
Sooo this guy paying people to just stream his album all day??
You haterz think this isn’t a classic album yet must be same people saying Drake didn’t end weak mill career w back to back !! Half a billi streams plat plat first week. And that cornball bipolar Joe Budden sayin Drake wasn’t trying or put effort into this album get the fuck outta here. Artists like Drake come along once a century Believe it embrace his skills and his artistic ability and how he embodies real life thru his music and a quick switch can end a career w battle rhymes! He runs the game and nobody can or will stop him till he says so!!!!
I don’t care if this album has a bazillion streams. It’s still trash. MC Hammer’s album went diamond back in the day. Bet you think that album is classic, don’t you?
You sound really cool bro, wanna skype sometime?
Who is weakmill? You mean Meek Mill? Meek says: Up your butt with a coconut
Who is weakmill? You mean Meek Mill? Meek says: Up your butt with a coconut
OMG, do you guys think he bleaches his butthole to match the rest of his skin? I totes wanna know
People should just leave this God alone.
You sound like a bitch
The Lord Jesus Christ will always rap better then Drake
HE STILL SUCKS THO
views was terrible
This article isn’t about whether or not Views is good – I don’t understand why that keeps coming up. Drake is a POP superstar. Pop superstars like Drake sell millions of albums and are streamed over and over. Everyone knows who Drake is at this point. He’s a guy that may or may not have ghostwriters who can make catchy ass pop songs and sometimes raps and who ALWAYS and WILL ALWAYS sell millions of albums. He’s not hip hop, and I don’t really think he’s necessarily trying to be hip hop. Just stop hating and accept Drake’s place in music.
When will these dick riders understand the term Quality over Quantity? Drizzy isn’t a terrible rapper but his skills are mediocre at best. The fact that he moves so many units means that little teeny bopper white girls are buying his music. I’m willing to bet that more than half of the Drake-hive aren’t even hiphop headz. Nothing wrong with that but a line must be drawn in the sand between what is commendable and what isn’t. You think it’s hating? Then tell me why nearly ALL reviews of this album are saying it’s sub par?
@GT…as a puppet. Well said
Drake got that good butthole, real talk, he knows how to ride a penis, he’s a man’s champion
Just proves most people have awful taste in music!
streams worth nothing, people just ride the web drama
