Chart Final: Drake Takes the Gold, Silver and Bronze
Drake has become the first artist to debut with three new releases in the top three chart spots.
He is not, however, the first to have the three best-selling albums in a single week; a trio of Michael Jackson titles topped the chart in June 2009 after the King of Pop’s untimely demise. (Despite being excluded from the Billboard 200 as catalog releases, all three MJ sets sold more that week than the #1 album on the chart [Black Eyed Peas’ E.N.D.].)
But back to Drake: ICEMAN notches nearly 460k, with Drizzy’s three OVO/Republic releases cumulatively amassing 683k+.
Speaking of MJ, he has two in the Top 10, Thriller and Number Ones (Legacy), thanks to the ongoing impact of the Michael biopic.
EMPIRE’s Lucki is the only other premiere on the leaderboard, notching 54k with the intoxicatingly titled Dr*gs R Bad to open at #9. Buzzing Atlantic Outpost tyro Stella Lefty’s EP Is This Heaven? bows in the Top 40.
What’s that? You’re already on vacation and doing shots of bourbon with BBQ sauce? Well, then, never mind.
