Drake’s Nothing Was The Same album is projected to sell between 660,000 and 670,000 copies its first week in stores, according to the huffingtonpost.com. The Neilsen SoundScan that includes albums released September 24, which include Nothing Was The Same, is scheduled to be released tomorrow (October 2).
If Nothing Was The Same meets the sales projections, the third studio album from the Toronto singer-rapper would earn the second-highest album sales figure of the year, behind only Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, which sold 968,000 units during its first week in stores in March.
If Nothing Was The Same fulfills the sales expectations, it would be Drake’s third #1 album and it would have the best-selling first week of his three studio albums. His 2010 debut album, Thank Me Later, sold 447,000 copies its first week in stores, while 2011’s Take Care moved 631,000 units.
Yesterday (September 30), Drake was announced as host, business partner and consultant for the Toronto Raptors NBA franchise beginning with the 2014-15 season. In his new role, the rapper-singer will help the team redesign its logos, colors, uniforms and image. He will also help launch a clothing line with the Raptors and will likely play a role with the team during the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, which will take place in Toronto.
“Everywhere I go, I realize how culturally diverse it is here,” said Drake during this week’s press conference about his new position with the Raptors. “What a melting pot it is…There’s something genuine about this city. There’s something great. I think aside from that with All-Star coming here there’s an untapped nightlife, restaurants, culture. There’s so much to soak in and I think that our goal is in 2016 to truly showcase that, not only for the players, but also for everybody.”

Proof that drake is running the game.
The r&b game yes

drake>>>wayne
U a hiphop newbie if you really believe that
Wow, YMCMB is still running the rap game, Osiris, Isis, and Horus!
who would have every thought that a Canadian mullatto rap-singer would become one of the biggest acts in HipHop?
Drakes music has too much of a white-type vibration for me to fully get into it but he has a few songs I enjoy.
Salute to his success and the fact that he is only one of 4 new rappers who have gone platinum since 2006…about 8 years and he broke the drought in 2010! (Nicki, Macklemore, Kendrick).
Baby and Slim continue their winning streak.
Rich Gang 22k first week, Ace Hood, 37k first week, were those part of their winning streak as well?
Yes Rich Gang & Ace Hood are a part of their winning streak because Cash Money made a profit off some throwaway Birdman tracks instead of releasing them on a mixtape for free or not releasing them at all.
Ace Hood brought home a Gold selling single with “Bugatti” and the rest of YMCMB have stayed active on the singles charts and the touring circuit,
So yeah as much as repulsive and disgusting people want to hate on them they are still at the top of the rap game.
Wrong, bitch.
Dope album but Take Care was better. Needed more guest features, but great album nonetheless.
jay-z runs the rap game
not any more when drake will outsell him first week and is making bigger hits than the camel. Drake is the face of rap he is the most popular he will sell the most he is the king of this rap shit. No1 checking for old man gay z and his shitty ass album
Oh, I forgot that Jay-Z is on the best song on Drakes album. Cake, Cake cake cake cake…
By the way, that’s the line that people remember this song by of course. Trendsetters set trends.
haha son smh jay just dropped a digi and retail album both plat HOV runs game period
Record sales do not mean a thing is who is a better emcee.
Jay Z stuck a dildo in my ass when I wasn’t looking……………….it felt good, though.
Drake is the new king of rap.
r@b
r&b
Pop music
Tuscan Leather is the hardest rap song of 2013.
^lol dude called a drake song the “hardest rap song of the year” haha joke
You mean Emo.
Same as Take care, nothing was the same Album is okay. Better then most.
so far its J cole’s Born Sinner or Tech N9ne Something Else for album of the year.
i donno about J Cole but i can tell u that Tech N9ne album is the best album of 2013…lets see what Hopsin and Eminem have in store for us
Less than I thought he would. I assumed he’d push 700k easily now but I guess not. Be interesting to see what Em does now… if he gets a hit or two I can see him doing 1 mill first week but without one he might be outsold by Drake (at least as far as first week sales goes).
ZOMG! my butthole is puckering listening to Drake right now.
Not too shabby at all. Globally he’s for sure doing a million first week.
Not that impressive when you consider he shares most of his fans with Justin Bieber
very impressive when you think that some of these so-called real emcees can’t even convince their fans about their own projects.
^these real emcees have tons of real fans. Most are independent or under small market labels, so almost no marketing goes into their projects. They don’t care tho, they make the music they like, it bodies what hip hop actually is and they know the fans they have are loyal and will continue to support them.
Great marketing, wack artist, dumb fans, saturated market
wrong. completely wrong. it’s just your hating ass. again.
Exactly more drake haters smh
Co-sign. Drake is the result of compression state economics. Big business out spends the competition to the point where their only choices are to file for bankruptcy, merge, or get taken over. Then the remaining competition becomes business partners in a wealth sharing model that only has a few players at the table. That ain’t hate, that’s just simple economics. For now, Drake is their prize pony. He couldn’t fail if he tried to.
^^^^^^^^^@614Grind…such an astute anaylisis, well thought out,a rarity in the DX comment section…
660,000 first week DOMESTICALLY. Add in international sales and I’m sure he’ll sell over a milli 1st week
Yeah then Yeezus and a MCHG also went platinum first week if you count international sales. JT prob went double platinum
Let’s see if JT can keep his 1m sales from the first 20/20 part.
People who gets DRAKE albums are soft or gay or lame as fuck!
But he’s outselling ur fav rapper tho ?!
^sales never, ever reveal the more talented artist. Just means dude sold out, record company tells him what music to make, they put his name everywhere, and they do this with so many artist that people believe this is hip hop. its a disgrace
OK, how about this Drake sales a lot of records to fags, homos, queers, gays, lames, pussies & teenage girls. That means absolutely buttkiss, he is even more of a flaming homo dick in the butt skeet fagy gaywad queerbait.
ToRoNtO
I decided to post my comment before reading the other comments and I’m going to guess that there are at least 6 references to Drake’s masculinity or sexuality. And………….go!
Drake is gay
Drake likes man bhole
Drake can suck a dick from the back
I’m wrong, only 2 references. Sorry
I used to respect drake. I thought thank me later was a decent record. But this dude completely fell off after that. Way too mainstream, shows no lyrical ability anymore. I listened to this album just because someone talked me into it and it was horrible. Id give it 2 stars just to be nice smh.
Thank Me Later is his worst album or mixtape.
Versace, Versace Versace, Versace Versace, Versace, Versace Versace, Versace Versace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There should be a way to account for every purchase. To me, NO ONE SELLS SHIT THE FIRST WEEK, because it’s all numbers. People will believe anything…
And, no doubt, Drake is selling albums — but, I don’t believe for one second that he’s getting the type of numbers they say. Not in this entertainment economy where you don’t have to EVER buy an album. Sorry…
I just became a fan of Leon, good points man
I like to finger my butt & dance naked to Drake songs, that shit ain’t gay though.
All you backpack fans need to shut up and buy records.
You need to stop being a dickrider.
this album was so dope 5/5 way better then his other albums…you can tell he took his time to perfect it.
Whoever is male and buys this is probably a homosexual. Look at that cover….lol Fucking faggots these days
I wish you weren’t anonymous. I’d love to attach a face to your ignorant comment. The sad part is you probably don’t even realize that you are ignorant.
Ok tough guy, look me up on facebook my name is Maurice Kile, you bitch nigga

#29 Jay Z MGHG 13,965
Ever notice people always say sales don’t matter unless it’s their favorite rapper moving units? Lol. Drake makes good music, the people like it. If you don’t, who cares. This would be a boring ass world if everyone liked the same stuff.
Wrong.
Drake is gay fuck that soft bitch made nigga
I’d bet any amount of money you’d trade your life for his. Lol.
No thanks, then I would enjoy penises & buttox & stuff
Michael your the fag.
baby prolly mad. he prolly bought about 400k thinking that would make drake hit platinum in a week.
what’s strange to me is that all these big first week numbers (wayne included) and these dude whole catalog still don’t add up to the sale of Slim Shady LP or Marshall Mathers LP or GRODT, or even the Massacre.
These numbers seem funny. When eminem drop he sell the same amount first week, but top out at 4-5 million, but these YMCMB dudes barely even make it to 2 million….what’s up with that?
DRAKR RUN RAP,
BETTER THAN WAYNE EVER WAS
DRAKE IS YMCMB
DRAKE RUN RAP
Dickrider.
Lil Wayne goes platinum in a week. Not this 670,000 shit. Drakes album is classic tho. Even wit all that singing shit. He killed it
That weak shit ain’t classic.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT KENDRICK LAMAR DUDE

T DOT O stand up!
#1 in sales, listening to Canadian and hiphop since 1987 and this is another proud moment in Canadian rap all due to the Toronto’s number 1 son in the game, Drizzy Drake.
I’ve been listening to hiphop since Rob Base.
I got 100 CDs I actually bought not downloaded shit like you losers who don’t support their artists they claim are the best.
Collection includes:
all early Wu
all Pac
all Biggie
all Nas
and shit 99% of these ppl on this board don’t even know:
Smooth Da Hustler
OGC
GP WU
Rascalz
Maestro
and I got every Drake album, I don’t need know jackasses telling me what hiphop/rap is.
Been listening to it for longer than some of you’ve been born.
Shut up, dickriding liar.
Rob Base? lol, respect for that name drop
I didn’t even read all this crap…
http://www.eminemalbum2014.com
You just bragged about having 100 CDs?!? That’s all?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! You thought that was a big number, huh?
If all you took from the post was your incorrect assertion about me ‘bragging about 100 cds’ then you truly missed the entire point.
You’re simple minded son.
while you were busy typing that bullshit comment,your’e mom sucked 12 homeless nigga dicks
I took what I wanted to take from what you said. I didn’t have to comment on every part of your comment. You’re the one who decided to drop a raw number that you were proud of, which wasn’t shit.
You’re simple minded daughter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EGp3ZOKj3U
Fuck the numbers, i just want quality
Before you get too hyped up about drake sales numbers, I’ve read that second week sales may fall to 100k at most. It doesn’t explicitly say but BIllboard has Lordes album at no. 2 with 125k copies (behind JT with 325k copies). This seems pretty clear that Drake may go platinum but won’t reach 2x platinum like his last release.

You the type of nigga to make a corny ass “Drake the type of nigga” joke and not make it funny
Eminems Relapse was very disappointing, but it was close to being a much better album. This site explains just why that is and gives you the way to hear the album the way it should have been heard. Check out the site below

IF YOU OVER 25 AND YOU LISTEN TO DRAKE, YOU NEED TO HAVE A DEEP TALK WITH THE “MAN IN THE MIRROR”
co-sign
lol hu do u listen to?.i hate people who run away from their probs,over 25 is the right age to listen to drake
No, it’s not.
Am I the only one that thinks drake not selling a milli was down to bad promo and not the leaks?
Am I the only one who thinks about Drakes butthole all day?
about to do the son of a bitch.looked some roads down seen some children coming out corn feild about to do the mother
Drake could have sold 1 million if NWTS didn’t get leaked!
i doubt it. people who are gonna buy the album will buy it anyway and the people who will download it are still gonna download either way. if it didnt get leaked it people would just wait an hour after it was in stores then download it
why is it so hard for you delusional cunts to accept that drake is the face of rap. Who do you hear on the radio? Who has the biggest hit songs of the year? Who has the highest grossing tours of all hiphop artists? The only person remotely close is eminem but he isnt making music thats good any more and he is irrelevent right now. Drake is the face of rap accept it acknowledge it instead of denying facts.
THEY MAD
DRAKE RUN THE GAME
Very simple answer for you, chum, it is because he is a Pop artist, not to be classified with a Hip Hop artist. If you take everything you just said & substitute Pop artist for Hip Hop artist then you would never hear another compliant. I hope that helps clear things up.
Still wrong, Drake stan.
Serious question for everybody… Is this the peak for Drake? Is this the hottest he will get?
I think he’s maxed out his core fan-base. The only way Drake can sell 1 mil first week is if he goes straight rap, no singing and ballads. He’s got mad skills on the mic but he’d rather make pop hits and has basically said ‘fuck you’ to all the people who liked him as a true MC, back in the day they were even calling him the ‘saviour’ of rap. As a result Hip-hop heads are not buying his album. Carter IV was not as good as NWTS in my opinion but it was straight hip-hop and sold 998,000 1st week. He’s already won over the ladies and white surburbia, now it’s time to get HIP-HOP to love him!
This music is for females and gay men shits corny
problem is dat u a gay nyka hu sucks dicks,u mad coz drake wont let u suck his dick u faggot
I sure am, nothing better than sucking a dick & listening to Drake, all the gays love him.
most these sales come from america, this guy is way too fragile male been mommys boy and always will be. is that him on that same love video?
NOBODY COMING CLOSE TO DRAKE NUMBERS IN THE GAME

One of the most highly anticipated adult releases of all-time, the
famous sexual rendezvous between The Simple Life’s Paris Hilton and
her then-boyfriend Rick Saloman is finally available on DVD. And while
the quality isn’t up to that of a studio release, Red Light District
has done a very nice job with the video and audio transfer of the
material, giving fans what may very well be the best celebrity sex
tape made to date.
Rick is on-hand to introduce each of the four sexual segments on this
63-minute disc (don’t worry, Red Light has supplemented the short
running time with four great bonus scenes from their catalog), and the
first is the night vision footage that was very green and grainy when
it appeared as a download on the Internet. Here, however, the footage
has been changed to simple black and white, and much of the harsh
grain has been removed from the picture…giving us a pretty good look
at what was going on. We are told by Rick that Paris was only 19 at
the time this was filmed, and things begin with the camera in Paris’
hands as she films Rick’s cock. Soon, Rick has taken control of the
videotaping, and has Paris on her back and taking it missionary style.
We get a pretty good look at the penetration, and Paris even rubs her
clit while she is being fucked.
Setting the camera across the room on either a piece of furniture or
perhaps a tripod, the action continues on the bed, with Rick screwing
Paris doggy style from a side view, followed by some very enjoyable
reverse cowgirl (once again, we get a good shot of the penetration),
and then back to doggy this time with both performers facing toward
the camera, so we really can’t see Rick’s cock sliding in and out of
her. Flipping her over, Rick starts pounding her missionary, and
although we can’t tell, it looks like he may give her an internal
cumshot. The action picks back up later that night with Paris sucking
Rick (who is once again holding the camera) off with a blowjob…but
then, all of the sudden, we hear Rick yell “Ow! Bitch!” and Paris says
“Bye!” and the scene ends. Guess something happened that Ms. Hilton
wasn’t too happy about!
Apparently, Paris wasn’t happy with the way the night vision setting
on the camera made the veins in her breasts visible, so the next scene
has her holding the camera in front of her, showing off her very cute
tits. We see a little of her in the bathroom, wearing a lace bra and
panties and being totally disgusted by Rick’s use of the words “pussy”
and “cunt”.
Still in the same lace bra and a sexy pair of just-over-the-knee black
boots, Paris relaxes in a chair while Rick spends a few minutes eating
her out. Moving to the bed, Paris gets it missionary, putting her legs
back in the air and resting them on top of Rick’s shoulders for what
proves to be a very hot-looking position. Before this part of the
video concludes, Rick has repositioned her in the doggy position and
is pounding her from behind.
The last section is the best, with Paris giving Rick a blowjob (to
completion!) in full color, with the camera sitting in an excellent
position. Paris uses both her mouth and her hands to help get Rick
off, and just as he is starting to cum, she presses his cock up
against her chest, so his load squirts all over her tits.
Since all of the above action only consists of 63-minutes worth of
time on the DVD, Red Light District has done the honorable thing and
padded out the rest of the disc with four scenes from other releases.
Viewers will get to see Randi Wright’s scene from Breakin’ Em In 6;
Monica Sweetheart from Two In The Seat 3; Taylor Rain in action from
Just Over Eighteen 3; and beautiful newcomer Teagan from Cum Drippers
6. Additionally, Red Light has included a sampler disc in the box that
is loaded with a whopping 67 trailers for titles that they have
available.
The good news is that Paris makes for a pretty good porn star. The bad
news, of course, is that this is probably the only chance we’ll ever
get to see her getting wild in front of the camera. So, if you’re a
fan of Paris, celebrity sex, or just hot amateur material, 1 Night In
Paris is a must-have for your collection.

As great as this album may be. Nothing will compare to this track/video. J. Cole’s new video is a classic. http://smarturl.it/CrookedSmileVid
High album sales dont determine whether an album will be a classic. Dont forget both Illmatic and Reasonable dount flopped first week big time. But I would not expect teeange white boys who comment on this site to understand that!
Did they sell over half a million records the first week? No, and I’ve done it TWICE. Are they partners with the most successful non-American basketball team of all time? No. Face it, bro, nobody does it better than me. Not Jigga, Nas, J-Quil(J-Cole), Kendick Lame-ar, Schoolgirl Q, or 2Stainz. I’m running the rap game right now. I started from the bottom, now I’m here. I’m making a legend at this very moment. Hell, I could be the next 2PAC. Fuck it, I AM 2PAC. Better than 2PAC though.
More so teenage girls & homosexual men, but I hear you
I am also super gay for wieners in mah bhole
