According to Billboard, For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition — as the expanded project appears on streaming services — earned 145,000 album-equivalent units over the last week, beating out Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (138,000) and Dolly Parton’s Rockstar (128,000).

It previously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last month with 402,000 equivalent album units in its first week, putting Drizzy just one behind JAY-Z‘s record of the rapper with the most No. 1 albums (14).

Shortly after the release of Scary Hours 3 on November 17, Drake released the instrumental version — but with a twist. In addition to making them available on streaming platforms, the 6 God made fans navigate various “rooms” in his Toronto mansion on his website drakerelated.com to download each track.

Prior to its release, he issued a challenge to his rap peers to bring their best bars over the beats, which were produced by The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, Ovrkast and more.

“Dropping the instrumentals this week I wanna hear who’s barring up,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories next to a graphic of the twin fairies that appear on his Scary Hours 3 cover.

Fabolous, who never shies away from a freestyle, quickly accepted Drake’s challenge by rapping over the Vinylz and Boi-1da-produced “Evil Ways.”
