Drake 'For All The Dogs' Billboard 200
According to Luminate, Billboard's data cruncher, "For All The Dogs" was primarily driven by streaming power, totaling 97% of the whole album units.
Apparently, Drake recorded a staggering 514 million on-demand streams in its first week alone, making it the largest streaming week of 2023 for any album and the fourth-largest one ever. Four of the top five biggest streamed albums belong to Drake.
In total, it raked in 402,000 album equivalent units with 391,000 units comprised of streaming. Album sales only hit the 10,000 mark as it was only available for digital purchase, while track units only had more than a thousand.
Drake's "Scorpion" remains the biggest streaming week, with 745.92 million streams in 2018. "Certified Lover Boy" raked in 743.67 million, coming in second.
Taylor Swift breaks the third spot with the arrival of "Midnights" last year with 549.26 million streams. "For All The Dogs" ranks fourth, while Drake's collaborative album with 21 Savage, "Her Loss," rounds the fifth spot.
Drake's 13th No. 1 Album
With "For All The Dogs" arriving at No. 1, Drake now has 13 No. 1 albums, one album higher than Taylor Swift.
So far, The Beatles has 19 albums at the top, followed by Drake with 13, and Swift with 12. If Swift manages to top her upcoming album, "1989 (Taylor's Version)," coming Oct. 27, 2023, she would tie with Drake again with 13 albums atop. All of her re-recorded albums so far have reached the No. 1 spot.
