• Drake's Surprise Album To Count Toward Cash Money Requirements, Was Intended To Be A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape

    Last week Drake dropped his surprise album If Your Reading This It's Too Late. It has since broken Spotify records, topped the Billboard 200, and sold 500,000 copies in its first week. Although he had confirmed that he had a new project coming early this year, most people assumed it would be a mixtape, and Drake even used that terminology himself. When it showed up as a Cash Money record, people were surprised. But apparently making the album available for purchase only via iTunes wasn't the original plan.

  • Drake and 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Top Albums Sales Charts; Sam Smith, Beck and '2015 Grammy Nominees' Gets Award Show Boost

    Thanks to a week featuring at least two huge debuts, the album charts this week aren't too far from what the Billboard 200 reflected. Drake starts out with the biggest release of the year thus far, and in fact the biggest release of the last year (excluding a certain Taylor Swift). If You're Reading This It's Too Late sold 497,500 copies during its first three days of availability, suggesting that it could have racked up even more if the emcee had settled for a more traditional release date.

  • Drake Shocks 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Soundtrack, Tops Billboard 200 with Surprise 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late'

    Everyone expected the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack to run away with this week's Billboard 200 chart...but then Drake happened. The emcee and his LP/mixtape If You're Reading This It's Too Late topped the list by moving 575,000 equivalent albums. The new metric for the chart, which takes streams into consideration, played to his favor as the album received more first-week streams than any other album in Spotify history. Among the other accomplishments that Drake managed to nab with his surprise album was becoming just the second hip-hop act to land his first four albums atop the Billboard 200 (the other is DMX). He quickly became the second bestselling performer for 2015 (behind Taylor Swift).
