Beyonce & Drake Continue Chart Dominance With Physical Sales

Published: Saturday 7th May 2016 by Sam

As chart royalty goes, few can rival Beyonce and Drake in 2016.

Music’s reigning King and Queen have garnered gargantuan sales with their respective albums – ‘VIEWS’ and ‘Lemonade.’

Interestingly, both have managed to do so with digital only releases. Bey opted for a TIDAL streaming launch, before serving up her LP on all digital retailers. Similarly, Drizzy teamed with Apple Music – making his effort available there exclusively for one week.

Now, with both LP’s being made available physically yesterday, will they receive a sales lift?

Find out what the predictions are looking like below…

Per Hits Daily Double, each album is on-course to receive a 50,000 boost from physical sales.

With that factored in, here’s how the numbers are set to stack up next week (*SPS refers to “Sales Plus Streaming”):

Drake (YMCMB/Republic) 160-180k pure sales, 290-315k SPS
Beyoncé (Columbia) 120-130k pure sales, 210-235k SPS
Keith Urban (Capitol Nashville) 75-80k, 80-85k
Cole Swindell (Warner Music Nashville) 55-60k, 57-62k
Andy Black (Lava/Republic) 18-20k, 20-23k
Mike Posner (Island) 11-13k, 24-27k

****************

The numbers paint an interesting picture.

Most notable is the fact that both artists are slaying.

Bey pulling 130k in her third week is incredible. Her 2nd week added 196k, while her debut was 485k. Putting SPS aside, to rack up 810,000 in pure sales in such a small window of time is mind-blowing. Especially in today’s climate. Note also how the week-to-week % drop is decreasing – pointing heavily to the likelihood of high numbers remaining consistent for weeks (if not months) to come.

As for Drake, he remains undeniable and arguably undefeatable. The final numbers for his debut week are still incoming, but suggestion is that he’ll land over 800k in pure sales and most definitely over 1 million in SPS. With these second week predictions, another run atop of the Billboard 200 is almost a guaranteed.

A collective slay.

      • HALF AMAZIN May 7, 2016

        I know, right? All the rabid stans of everyone are idiots. They thumb thugging on a blog like they on payroll. So ridiculous.

    • HailBeysus May 7, 2016

      Anyway, Now that Lemonade wi be platinum in the US this week on PURE SALES and is already Gold in the UK while AntiSuccess struggles to get passed Silver kiii! Im just gunna sit here and sip my Lemonade and continue reading the comments. The Navy are seething huntea and their Novels only show it hahahaha!!! I mean look at them cling to Drake when just last year with hid success of Hotline Bling they were talking about how he needed Rihanna because it was the only way he could get a #1 and were downplaying his success. Im getting my life! While Beyoncé leaves Anti in dust with a 600k GAP!! ???!!!
      .
      Don’t Bring this BS up about why the Hive need to bring up Rihanna because any person with a functioning brain can clearly read that the Slavi brought their own fav into this LOL!

    • whenindoubtthetruthwillout May 7, 2016

      But when will she do a million first week?

    • Sam May 8, 2016

      If your fave is beyonce, how does this comment work?

  2. Molly May 7, 2016

    Congrats King Of Music. You and Rihanna are killing the game.

    • RihYonce May 7, 2016

      Him & Beyonce is killing the game. I love Rih but she is killing anything but the Hot 100 record she just broke

    • coockiness May 7, 2016

      damn bey thats a 61% decrease in sales

      • RihYonce May 7, 2016

        But her album is still #1 in 45 countries ?

      • Iamdiego May 8, 2016

        what about drake? 800,000 one week, and 180,000 the next? That alone speaks volumes. Beyonce is doing good selling music the old school way. After this physical copy hype dies, he will have under 100,000 pure sales his 3rd week. His album giving me of born this way tease. remember when gaga sold a million 1st week and it became the album that destroyed her career as far as relevance. She brought in the new generation and got kicked out.

  3. Metzo May 7, 2016

    That Drop tho! I knew this was bound to happen.

    • Molly May 7, 2016

      Doing 40k more than Bey with less hype.

      • Arx May 7, 2016

        Whats Rihanna’s excuse? Beyonce and Drake SELLING more in their second week than Rihanna in her first. #Samsungstatus

      • Metzo May 7, 2016

        LOL. His second week sold only 40k more than Bey’s 3rd week. 80% drop. I think I know whos gonna outsell who both US and WW.

      • Molly May 7, 2016

        Beyonce has already been scalped.

      • RihNavy May 7, 2016

        Comparing a male rapper to the biggest female urban pop star? Kii the struggle is real with you f***

    • RihYonce May 7, 2016

      Beyoncé is clearly going to outsell Drake WW in less than 2 weeks. Drake always goes platinum then goes flat. Bey will continue to sell

  4. S****** Blonde May 7, 2016

    While Beyoncé has never been this huge album seller her fans make her to be, one can’t deny the fact that she always does well with her albums but then again her solo career started just in 2003, I think, (correct me if I’m wrong) so she is still in her prime if we only count her solo efforts.

    • Metzo May 7, 2016

      Beyonce is past her prime

      • S****** Blonde May 7, 2016

        Many people had been successful beyond their prime, an example of this are Janet and Madonna, in 2000 Madonna released Music which was a commercial success, In 2001 Janet released All for You, which was also a success, those ladies were way past their prime when this happened, one can say that they were in their prime because of it, you still in your prime while you still having success, that’s my point.

    • BEY>RIH May 7, 2016

      Beyonce’s commercial success prime was 2003-2009 although she has had her most successful tours, gained more awards, more acclaim, has had steady great album sales, is a bigger celebrity figure this decade than her whole career (DC included). She was known as international pop superstar Beyoncè in the 00’s but now she is known as a global pop icon and one of the most famous people on earth.

      • Metzo May 7, 2016

        Let them know!
        How u gon be 19 years in the game and still be in your PRIME?

        That might just Bey the BIGGEST compliment @S****** has ever given Bey. And he did that involuntarily while trying to discredit her accomplishment.
        YES Bey is the only artist selling more than the girls (and boys) she started with Both in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

      • S****** Blonde May 7, 2016

        Let’s not go overboard please.

  5. Annalise May 7, 2016

    My girls are slaying and MUVA is proudT!

  6. Molly May 7, 2016

    Anti is double platinum. @Arx

    • RihNavy May 7, 2016

      I thought I ended you

    • Arx May 7, 2016

      Thanks to Samsung!! Congrats Samsung on your hard work!
      Most artists don’t need corporations to buy their platinum status…
      Most 100 million selling artists can sell out stadiums in their prime
      Most artists have talent besides the dutty wine

      • Shade May 8, 2016

        You sound really stupid. Do if you had a business and someone wanted to buy a million dollars worth of your product, you would say no? Seeing that they were gonna give some of your customers for free? When it comes to Rihanna some of you seriously lack sense. I don’t see any serious business person turning down a buyer. Maybe y’all just mad Beyonce never give her fans nothing for free. Rihanna could have pocketed Samsung’s money and still force her fans to buy her music, but instead she allowed it to be streamed for free.

      Exactly!!

  8. LB May 7, 2016

    Drake deserves a second week at #1, hell even a third week, the album is absolutely amazing.

    Yonce on the other hand, it is all just hype, paid for reviews and smoke and mirrors.

    The album is absolutely horrible, it is very disgusting how the media is pandering to her every whim just for a check.

    • Molly May 7, 2016

      Beyonce is so desperate she’s buying trolls.

      • LB May 7, 2016

        LMAO I know right, who does that…smh

    • rosy3 May 7, 2016

      I agree the hives put fossil on a pedestal and she has not lived up to it Beyonce is overated she may sell albums but her other endeavors sitting on shelves I cannot get over the fact no one wanted to watch her for free on hbo her documentary had flopped too last time the hives delusional a true queen would have at least a million watching

    • The?Impact May 7, 2016

      The delusion ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    • SMH May 7, 2016

      Totally agree. I sat down and actually listened to her album. It is indeed garbage. The visual movie even worse. A whole hour of sleep inducing dribble packaged to be some sort of insightful piece of art. Bull. Formation is the best song on there, and that doesn’t say much. Beyonce totally lucked out in connecting herself to the right people that know how to sell hype. Any true music lover can’t honestly say that’s a so called great album because it’s not, no matter how many so called critically acclaimed reviews it has.

      • therealist May 12, 2016

        formation isnt the best song but I do respect your opinion. sounds like you dont know music. all night is dope as f***, very soulful, pray you catch me is beautiful. I love vocals. I actually like to hear an artist sing. formation is dope for its lyrics and creativity.

  9. RihNavy May 7, 2016

    WHEN WILL YOUR FAVES?

  10. RihNavy May 7, 2016

    WHEN WILL CI-T*****?

  11. RihNavy May 7, 2016

    MY FAVE WOULD NEVER!!

  12. LB May 7, 2016

    Music is dead when an album like Lemonade is getting critical acclaimed reviews, I hope the media enjoy Yonce’s money.

    The album is an incoherent, noisy gong that should not be allowed to be called music. It is absolutely all over the place, with no clear direction or substance.

    Even a m***** with a wrench and empty canister can come up with a much better put together album than Lemonade.

    This is all a hoax, it has to be. Otherwise the media has literally duped the public into buying what is one of the worst and unbearable albums in music history.

    • RihNavy May 7, 2016

      Anti and lemonade will get nominated in the black categories at the Grammys and Anti WILL WIN! Bookmark me

    • Music all the way May 7, 2016

      @Lb
      You used to Stan for Ketty Perry, then jumped to Ciara,then to Rihanna. What the hell would you know about music? Lemonade is beyond your musical understanding. I am sure you are one of the idiots who say work is the best song of the year so far??

  13. WINTZ May 7, 2016

    Lol the struggle to make Beyonce the groundbreaking artist she is not!!! She can’t generate a million viewers to watch her HBO debut, Lemonade. She hasn’t had a #1 hit in 8 years plus her Album is being outshun by a rapper’s album.
    .
    Anti- certified 2x platinum, work #1 9 weeks, Anti glued solidly @ top 5 on BB200, rihanna us the top selling female artist overall.. Anti breaking legends’ record in 2016
    .
    Drake album is tearing up the charts all over while over shadowing lemonFADE loool.
    .
    Beyfake music is shxxt!! The charts has officially renamed this witch BYE!

      Where’s your Janet account sis?

      • Annalise May 7, 2016

        KIIIII!

    • Arx May 7, 2016

      But Views outsold Anti in one week. Rihanna is supposed to be the greatest selling artist ever.

      Lemonade gets a 5 star rating by RollingStone and other reputable websites. Universally claimed as a masterpiece. While Anti has one #1 hit song with one word repeated 87 + times.

      All I can say is thank god Samsung saved Rihanna from the embarrassment.

      • Shade May 8, 2016

        Beyonve could only outsell Rihanna in the first week. But long-term, Rihanna is the better seller. Rihanna has sold more records worldwide than beyonce. Beyonce needs that first week hype to stay relevant. Rihanna consistently sells all year round, while beyonces sales dies down.

    • therealist May 12, 2016

      bey doesnt care about singles and drake just got his number one, so whats your point and drunk in love was number two on the charts which is impressive and still a hit. Bey is the only artist to ever have six consecutive number one albums out of any male or female, with lemonade being the six, and all twelve of her lemonade songs were in the top 100 simultaneously, which she is the first female to do so. taylor had ll which her record was broken by beyonce lemonade album and bey had alot of songs in the top 10 off of this album also, and to your hbo comment, she had nearly million feels, 700k +, so someone was watching. Way more impressive then rihanna. I am a fan of rihanna, but I have to state the facts.

  29. JOHNVIDAL May 7, 2016

    Beyonce does amazing in teh USA for nowadays standards. At this point it is clear she has a loyal fanbase, a big one. She´s never been the absolute best seeler but she keeps doing great.
    I have no time to read all the comments but I suppose it is full of Rihanna fans too: please don´t be retarded. Rihanna cannot f****** seel an album, which is the main thing in music and the ultimate proof you are big. She never could, and she only gets to some respectable sales after a whole year of constant radio push. Without it, nobody cares. Her talent is just not there. And everybody knows it, even if they enjoy teh music fior radio they make fore her. Thinking differently is just a big delusion.
    PS: I still have not listened to Lemonade album 🙂 But will do, I think Beyonce´s two previous albums were her best so far

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

      It’s simple, Beyonce is consistent.

    So now their excuse is that Beyonce is no in her prime? Hahahaha, so basically she peaked when daddy stopped managing her. And she been out since 2003, we don’t count a groups success as one artist. DC has not been active in over a decade and we’re barely a group then. Beyonce solo career been very throw away, DIL was dead by its follow up summer, B Day didn’t even make it to the summer (mainly because Umbrella and GGGB killed it off), I Am was a flash and gone before you knew it. 4,need I say more? Beyonce was boring by spring and Kool-aid is forgotten by the turn of the month. Timeless? Never, Goodies has a more lasting impact than Beyonce and DC career as a whole.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

    Anyways apparently Sorry is the next single!!! I’m not too sure how Bey is managing her singles this era, I heard she might send the entire album to radio.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

      Sorry is a good choice
      We are all still trying to figure out who Becky is ?

      • Annalise May 7, 2016

        Yes, it’s a good choice given the recent media hype of it… plus it’s very catchy, and Beyonce’s best performing songs are usually ones with a catchy hook or dance-move. ‘Crazy in Love’ had the uh-oh dance, ‘Drunk in Love’ had the surfboardT, ‘Check On It’ had the pat-your-weave dance move, ‘etc. Sorry has the boy-bye hand-wave and it’s gone very viral.

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

        True! Singles Ladies had a catchy hook too .
        When is she supposed to send Sorry to radio ? Have u heard it yet? Because I haven’t on any of the Bay Area stations

      • Annalise May 7, 2016

        I’m not too sure… but if she did a stronger push for it 2 weeks ago it could have easily been in the top 5 and climbing upwards. B** Radio 1 played the whole of Lemonade in it’s entirety for the past week.

  38. Rosie May 7, 2016

    Stop paying attention to the Nhevi hiding behind Drake, funny how they always try to come for me for apparently bandwagoning while using someone else’s receipts just because they slept with their prostitute fave and sold more than Bey first week.
    Anyways, Views drop is a mess. Kinda saw it coming since it’s getting panned (for his standards) on Metacritic and by many of his fans/other rappers.

    • *NAME REMOVED* May 7, 2016

      Sis why you here? Thought you said you had a life.

      • Rosie May 7, 2016

    • King Mark111 /.\ May 7, 2016

      Your OG fave MOMENT was so short lived that you needed a new life source. Funny how you, Molly, Cherry Foot Solder always hopping on new wagons to go again 11 years career Rihanna. Next year you clowns will have a new fave and still be calling Rihanna a flop. lol You’re the one that set yourself up for failure putting Lama up to Gags, and even though both are as usless as Ciara’s first weeding dress, Gags still outsold Lama. So you being mad over Rihanna is expected.

      • Rosie May 7, 2016

        You know what also was outsold by ARTPOP and C2C?
        Anti.

      • King Mark111 /.\ May 7, 2016

        They double plat? Are then even plat? Still to this day? Lama never had a chance and you hate every other artist cause yours flopped. From Gags to Lorde, your jealousy stresses your lil black heart. 🙂

      • Rosie May 7, 2016

        LMAO stop playing? Anti only sold 350K in pure sales but of course the Nhevhi doesn’t want to bring that up. And that’s with a 9 week #1 and another Instagram thot classic that will probably be top 10 in another month or so.
        And remind me who is Lorde again? Haven’t heard that name since 2013. Is that that ~deep~ t*** one hit wonder who looked like Voldermort or something?

  39. WINTZ May 7, 2016

    The minions are fuming as their favourite witch, BEYlowground, cannot rise to the pedestal that they prematurely placed her on.
    .
    Rihanna has sold more albums and total records worldwide than BEYondLame.
    .
    BEYlowthecharts can’t lock a phenomenal game changing deal with multi billion dollar tech giants like Samsung because she isn’t in the MINORITY ELITE of musicians who owns their music.
    .
    Drake’s two #1 mega hits are with the best selling female artist-Rihanna. “Mine”- BEYst collab was MUTE on the charts.
    .
    Poor little fuming minions… The struggle to make BEYdazzle iconic is real! Lol

    • therealist May 12, 2016

      digital albums, not pure albums.

      Rihanna: Rihanna has become a modern music, entertainment and fashion icon. As an accomplished performer, she has sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making her the top-selling digital artist of all time. She’s released 7 albums in 7 years,

      Beyonce:Beyoncé has received numerous awards. As a solo artist she has sold over 16 million albums in the US, and over 100 million records worldwide (a further 60 million additionally with Destiny’s Child), making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

      Note: Bey net worth is 450 million and Ri’s is 250 million, so you do the math. Smh. lol

  40. DIABETIC STROKE May 7, 2016

    Lol this is exactly as i predicted. 1) that Physical sales UNLIKE RIHANNA would actually boost sales & 2) that Views w ould be a front loaded slow 800k 3 weeks >>> 370k 3 monthsburner barely able to compete with beys 3rd week. Either way congrats to both but according to critics views is just barely ok. I think it scored a 58 or something like that while bey is around 93. In the end Bey will outsell Drake with almost no single cuz ive yet to hear sorry on radio.

    • Rosie May 7, 2016

      Views has a 69.
      Still by far his least acclaimed album. All of his other releases have at least a 76.

  41. Music all the way May 7, 2016

    And yet her albums last longer on the billboard 200. I mean, self tittle and IASF are still there,look at the stats on how long your favs last on the album charts and then come again with a better written dissertation. If only you didn’t spend much of your time on g** p*** websites maybe you wouldn’t write that nonsense that you just pulled out of your a** Mr chartubate (or whatever you call)

  42. King Mark111 /.\ May 7, 2016

    And yes Drake is the #1 rapper and hottest or whatever, but he has no growth as a rapper or an artist. I recall him saying in a Take Care interview that he can’t rap about the same things in Almost Gone and Thank Me Later because in those albums he was rapping about making it, now he’s here and has to take Take Care to another level. But with the last albums, it been the same ol same ol, seems to be the trend with Cash Money slaves. Lil Wayne was on fire and selling a million in a week a few times and where is he now? Same with 50 Cent. He better switch it up cause as soon as that fanbase grow out of him like last year’s shorts, he’ll never be a Jay Z, Kanye, Nas and others. But who am I? I just see the same things over and over before.

  43. B2B May 7, 2016

    And also multiple singles selling 100K+ Just from iTunes ???????? GOOD JOB BEY! ??????

  44. Rosie May 7, 2016

    Hope Radiohead snatches a top 3 debut! “Burn The Witch” is better than basically everything on their last album. They’re real legends so I seriously doubt they care much anyways.

    • *NAME REMOVED* May 7, 2016

      Who?

  45. Memo May 7, 2016

    Kiii @ the hive comparing Beyoncé to Rihanna. If Rihanna is nothing compared to her, why are you always bringing her up? Why don’t you compare Beyoncé to Adele or Taylor? Afraid much?

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

      Because the Hive is speaking the truth and putting the Slavi in its place .
      I don’t see Taylor Adele or Drake stans seething up and down this post. The Slavi are the biggest haters.
      Lemonade will continue to outsell cAnti. Deal with it!

      • Memo May 7, 2016

        I like all of them, so I am not seething. But why don’t you compare the so-called ‘Queen’ with real album sellers? Answer my question.

      • HailBeysus May 7, 2016

        @Tyler don’t bother with that 3rd world peasant. Clearly he can’t read. The Slavi brang up Rihtàrdonna first! But as always they want to flip a bítch and act like the Hive pressed kiii!!

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

        For the exact same reason why Drake isn’t compared to artist like Just Beiber. Two different genres
        Those “real album sellers ” aren’t black, female, RnB/Pop artist.
        Beyonce and Rhianna are CONSTANTLY pitted against each because they are BLACK mainstream WOMEN who sing similar genres of music . Stop acting brand new. This isn’t rocket science.

    • King Mark111 /.\ May 7, 2016

      Because their sales shows how BEYsic Beyonce really is. So they bring up Rihanna (who out sold her years ago) to distract from Beyonce lack of growth. So instead of comparing it to an album that came out less than a week after, they bring in Anti, an album that was never about doing the same ol same. Why? Because they “she’s black, urban, don’t make pop music” excuse won’t work with a rapper that out sold her. 🙂

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 7, 2016

        Lemonade > cAnti

Im sure beys worldwidr total Been passed 1 mill since she sold 700k first wweek. Rih has stalled at less than 900k after 3 months. LEMONADE ERA >>> Anti FLOPed hard. Idk if rih will recover in R9.

    As was stated previously. Physical sales are extremely pertinent. People would have purchased more physically had it been available. They are both doing great. If they promote, release videos & perform they’ll do even greater.

We seen all the videos for this era, the same ol same ol tour, her poorly aging face on red carpets. It’s done, it was a short run, but now we’re moving on.

  64. DIABETIC STROKE May 7, 2016

    Anti is 2X plat but not based on Sales but by CHEATING. IDK HOW it even got its 2nd plat when the album stalled at 400k. Ill assume her Track Equ with songs like needed me work and kiss are about 2 mill downloads boosting anti about 200k to 600k. So how is it another plat aftet scamsung. Streaming? I doubt it if Bey has the streaming record for 100 mill first week. Bey still wins in the end. Lemonade cost 18$ and is droping at a considerably low rate. I bet it sells 100k 4th wk poor drake.

  65. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 7, 2016

    Yonce give NOOOO shïts about her fans. It’s evident when:
    •she sells them diets that she doesn’t even use
    •she promotes problackness but bleaches her skin to resemble the full moon
    • she sells tickets that are too expensive to her fans who mainly come from section 8

      3. Beyoncé’s fans aren’t broke as her Tour is sold out (fans also include Monica, The Obamas etc.)
      .
      4. You’re too much used to the hard labour cheap pay rates you Koreans, Chinese and Japanese are subject to, so no , if y’all can’t afford to buy the tickets due to low wages doesn’t mean everyone can’t afford a Beyonce ticket

If bey droped friday on itunes the day before the HBO thing both the album would have debut higher and movie and encore night would have had a larger audiance. Even so bey str8 dunked all ovrr Canti in a matter of days. And why hasnt sam reported beys first days ww total of 700k? Im sure it sold a million by now & will be 1 mill in US pure sales days from now not that track equ isnt worth noting. Bey easily sold 1 mill us if u include SPS. Lemonade will be back at #1 soon, views is losing momentum faster than lemonade. Th de fact that lemonade second week is higher than drake says ALOT.
