If you’re having déjà vu, it’s probably because you’ve seen Drake’s name at the top of the Billboard 200 charts from VIEWS, but the 6 God is continuing his reign with More Life. Making a splash this week also, Kodak Black’s debut album, Painting Pictures lands at #3. Elsewhere down the chart, YFN Lucci makes his first appearance at #27 with 16,667 units of sales for Long Live Nut and Young Dolph makes a statement with his Bulletproof project charting at #36 with 13,836 sales units upon its release.
Drake Goes 3 Weeks At #1 With “More Life”
Drake continues to push sales with More Life as it remains in the top spot for its third cycle since its March release. This week, the playlist sold 136,286 units, 16,252 albums and more than 167 million streams. His last full-length project, VIEWS, broke several records and was at the top of the Billboard 200 for nine weeks straight before being bounced by Blink-182. VIEWS remains at the #22 position on the chart.
Kodak Black Paints Pictures Of Success With Debut Album
Kodak Black’s Painting Pictures album makes its debut on the Billboard 200, landing at #3. The project saw 71,291 total sales, 15,473 album sales and 76.8 million streams. The LP was anchored by Project Baby’s “Tunnel Vision” single, which has been floating within the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 for a few weeks now. This isn’t Kodak’s first appearance on the 200 chart as his Lil Big Pac mixtape also made the list and clings onto the #197 slot this sales cycle.

music for the gay community and teen girls
Is that new Jay Z album out yet? Can’t wait for that classic Justin Timberlake collabo he is known for!
If Drake outsells kendrick next week, hip hop is officially dead.
numbers dont lie bruh…the best rapper of all time even said it..plus u cant knock the next man for doing his thing..kendrick nice but he aint on drake’s level.
Are you stupid? Drake has sold nowhere near MC Hammer, so is he nowhere near his level? Vanilla ice outsold Nas, is he a better rapper too? Big Willie Style outsold all of Rakims albums put together, is Will Smith better than Rakim? Don’t be such a fucking sheep.
MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice were all flash in the pan, Drake isn’t. He keeps slaying competition and fuckery.
stfu
Sorry haters
Don’t be sorry. I don’t care what Drake sold, he’s still wack. Thanks to iTunes, streaming and other technology, We don’t have to wish for his failure: we can ignore his music all together.
Seeing as you can’t ignore a Drake article, doubt that.
This isn’t a “Drake Article” it’s reporting on the billboard charts. Tho I seen other names there, I’m sure a Drake groupie like you would perceive it as a Drake article.
“Drake is the billboard charts” This has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read. If Drakeis the billboard charts like you said, then explain the other artists on it.
Where is Mr “I am better than 2pac” I will never buy or listen to that fuckboy’s music.
Next week genius.
Remember Drake wanted to drop a track named 3 Peat? Da streets need that
The *burbs* need that.
If you say so Gayboy
Kendricks album features U2, badbadnotgood, the alchemist and 9th wonder + incase anybody cares
“Without me, rap is just a bunch of orfans But if I stay then this shit is a bunch of corpses”
they are called one hit wonders…alot of musicians threw out the years might of dropped an album or single that outsold the next artist but your long jevity and consistants is what make u stand out as a great….big willie style, mc hammer, vanalla ice might have all outsold…lets say reasonable doubt, illmatic and ready to die but whts the one big difference between jay z, nas, biggie and will smith, mc hammer and vanalla ice?? #LEGENDS .
same thing with 50 cent..his first 2 albums outsold rick ross whole carear but fast forward to 2017 and u tell me who’s the better artist..?
@kids are dumb maybe ur kids are dumb just like yo stupidity ass next time come correct with facts u weak corny jealous low life mother#ucker
haha, video of fake drake seeing rihanna at a party and turning and running the other way as he walks directly behind her, fake rapper exposed as being scared of women [closet homosexual], see complex on youtube for video, haha #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
Drizzy muthafokin Drake!!
Don’t get me wrong Drake has some great tunes, but I think he’s a little overrated. Just my opinion though.
