Drake’s third studio album sold 658,000 copies during the
first week of its release, making this his best album debut in his career. His
album Take Care in 2011 sold 631,000 copies
in the first week. In 2010 Thank Me Later
launched with 447,000 at No.1. In 2009 his debut EP So Far Gone landed at No.6 with 73,000. I think it’s safe to say
that “nothing was the same.”
This has been the best debut week for any album this year,
following Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience which pushed 968,000 albums in
March. Not to mention, Drake’s first
week album sales are reported to be best hip-hop release since Lil Wayne’s Tha
Carter IV which sold 964,000 copies in the first week in 2011.
There is no question that Drake isn’t making moves in the
industry. Congrats on your album already reaching gold status, I’m sure it won’t
be long before NWTS goes platinum.
