Drake has been of the most dominant artists of this generation, ever since he broke on to the scene with his smash hit ‘Best I Ever Had’ in 2009. From there on, the Toronto superstar has broken several records on the Billboard charts and elsewhere.
Last week, Drake’s sophomore and widely regarded as best album, Take Care released on Nov. 15, 2011 completed 250 non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. It currently still holds the number 105 position on the chart. The album spawned multiple hit singles — ‘Headlines’, ‘Marvins Room’, ‘Take Care’ featuring Rihanna, ‘HYFR’ featuring Lil Wayne and ‘Make Me Proud’ with Nicki Minaj. Take Care is certified 4x platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA.
