This would make it the fourth-biggest opening of any album this year, trailing only Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and Travis Scott.
For All The Dogs has 23 songs in total, with contributions from Teezo Touchdown, 21 Savage, J. Cole and Chief Keef, among others. With a runtime that comes to almost an hour and a half, this is Drizzy’s first album of this year after dropping two in 2022, including a collaborative record with 21 Savage.

Aside from all the positives, Drake has also been put on blast by a Baltimore artist named Rye Rye who claimed she was sampled on For All The Dogs.
The 32-year-old rapper took to social media soon after the album went public to say that her “What” ad-lib had been used on the 21 Savage-assisted “Calling For You.”

“I’m laughing but it’s really not funny @champagnepapi DRAKE I EXPECT MORE OF YOU OMG ..yall I might go into a deep depression again but I’m happy too but also I feel played with.”
