Drake’s latest project Dark Lane Demo Tapes has officially made its Billboard 200 debut at No. 2, ending his 10-year streak.
On Friday (May 8), HITS Daily Double projected country star Kenny Chesney and his new album Here and Now would take the top spot and evidently, they were right.
According to Billboard, Dark Lane Demo Tapes sold roughly 223,000 total album equivalent units in its first week compared to Here and Now‘s 233,000.
Prior to Dark Lane Demo Tapes, Drake had achieved nine consecutive No. 1 debuts over the last decade, including 2016’s Views and 2018’s Scorpion.
During a recent interview for Lil Wayne’s recently launched Apple Music show Young Money Radio, he explained why he decided to drop a full project instead of just a loose track.
“We pieced a lot of those songs together and I put a few new joints on there, but really it was just instead of dropping a single right now,” he said. “It’s an interesting time for us all as musicians to figure out how this works and what people need. And I just felt like people would appreciate maybe a body of something to listen to as opposed to just one isolated song.”

Drake got dethroned but he still has the biggest bulge
I love that he’s going to talk it down since it didn’t go #1! “I mean you know we just kinda threw it together and we didn’t know what was going on.” GTFOH… you released and got beat out by a country artist. Period. End of run.
It doesn’t matter anyway. #1 or #2 is not reflecting the quality of his artistry. He can fart on the whole record that his fans will still claim it’s a masterpiece. This dude is a peach. Lil Wayne, Drake, Migos, Dababy, etc they all fucked this urban culture up so much that the quality is not relevant anymore. Even the veterans of this game got sucked in.
oh really? then why they made such a hype about his decade long winning streak?? First day drake loses, all the sudden winning is not relevant anymore?! smfh
Hahahahaha. Yet the REAL question still remains. He by far doesn’t have the most money. He by far doesn’t have the most record sales, Grammys, respect from people on top 10 MC lists. How did he supposedly sell more records than the Beatles? LOL. Those click farms he uses must be closed due to C-19. LOL.
All the Drake fans on Twitter are salty as hell over this. It’s hilarious seeing them get super defensive. Just accept defeat, your boy lost to a country singer. Seems like the COAT has bad luck when he goes against someone named Kenny. Lol.
As a gay guy, my other gay and girl friends still stand behind Drake. We’re in this together. My husband and I still doing the toosie slide together with dildos in our ass.
I agree! wouldn’t it be so fabulous for Drake to stick his giant wiener in our bums! Tee-hee!
OMG yesssss! I’d be in heaven if Drizzy tickled my prostate with that massive shmeckel! I’d twerk on it all day and night!
I’ve heard Drake has a solid 9 inches, that would be so lit for my bussy!
you know kenny only got that top spot because he illegally bought 200k copies of his own album. Drake had the actual best selling album (and his sales are underaccounted). I know this because I work as an accountant for ovo
have you seen Drake naked? How big is his pecker and how does it smell?
