Though he’s been knocked out of the top spot by Imagine Dragons’ new album Smoke + Mirrors, Drake is still sitting comfortably in the top 3 for the second week with his mixtape, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. After debuting at number 1 with only 4 days worth of sales, the project comes in at number 2 this week with another 187k sold. He’s been certified gold and it hasn’t even been two weeks! Crazy! Get the full top 10 below.
Billboard’s Top 10 Album Sales, Week Ending 2/15/15 … Congrats To Drake On A #1 Album!
In just 3 days (as Billboard closes out its tally each week on Sunday nights and Drake dropped late Thursday night,) Drake managed to move 495k hard copies of his “mixtape,” If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, as well as break a Spotify record with more than 17.3 million first-week streams. The project will undoubtedly go gold by next week’s charts (if not already,) and with Billboard’s new SPS (sales plus streaming) methodology, it’s actually already at 535k. No word whether this will ever be available other than digitally, but Drizzy’s official studio album, Views From the 6, is due out later this year. Get the full top 10 of this week’s Billboard 200 below!
And It’s Just A Mixtape! Guess How Much ‘If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late’ Is Projected To Sell!
Drake pulled a Beyoncé on Thursday, and out of nowhere, dropped a “mixtape” on iTunes…which is basically a full-length studio album that he’s just calling a mixtape. Now just like Bey as well, Drizzy is on pace to make a KILLING in sales and place quite high on this week’s Billboard charts. With just 4 days of sales tallied (since Billboard closes each week on Sunday night, and Drizzy released this late Thursday instead of the traditional Tuesday,) If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late will likely sell more than 500,000 copies, easily making it a contender for the number 1 spot. This would make for Drake’s fourth number 1 album. Insane! Can’t wait to see what Views From The 6 does!

There’s definitely a lot of buzz…and confusion surrounding If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, but what if it’s intentional? Fulfilling certain obligations, curving “bad energy,” side-eyeing authority, going at a few necks–all to possibly chuck a deuce (among other fingers)? Is New Drake Release A Move to Get Out of Cash Money?
