Drake's "VIEWS" Sits At #1 For 11th Week

Tally another week at #1 for Drake. VIEWS has now spent 11 weeks at the top of Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart. Logic’s Bobby Tarantino project saw a surge in sales this week and ScHoolboy Q remains in the Top 10, but experienced a significant drop. We are still witnessing Kanye West and Chance The Rapper make history as both chart in the Top 30 strictly off streaming.

Drake’s “VIEWS” Remain From The Top

Drake has his 11th week at #1 with VIEWS. This ties Taylor Swift’s 1989, which spent the same amount of time at the top spot between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, according to Billboard. The Frozen soundtrack reigned for 13 weeks in 2014.

ScHoolboy Q Drops Off

ScHoolboy Q experiences a 63 percent drop in the sales of Blank Face LP, but the project remains in the Top 10 overall. Groovy Q’s album pushed 27,715 sales with 20 million streams. The project debuted at #2 last week with nearly 74,000 album equivalent units.

Logic Sees Huge Leap In Album Sales

Logic’s Bobby Tarantino project saw a 135 percent jump in sales this week and charts at #29 with 26,648 units. The Maryland rapper debuted three weeks ago and landed at #16 in competition with Snoop Dogg’s Coolaid and Desiigner’s New English.
