Another week, another record for Drake.
His latest album Views has made its way back to the number 1 spot this week after getting displaced by Blink-182 last week. The album moved a massive 92k copies including streams which has resulted in 10 non consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard 200.
Views is only the 10th album in the last 20 years to spend 10 weeks at No. 1. Also, Views now has the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a solo male artist since Billy Ray Cyrus’ Some Gave All delivered a 17-week run at No. 1 in October, 1992. Views has now surpassed Usher’s nine-week run at No. 1 with Confessions in 2004.
Views is also the highest selling album released in 2016, with 1.34 million copies sold thus far. It’s the second biggest selling album overall in 2016, behind Adele’s 25.
