The stairway to the top of the Billboard 200 for Schoolboy Q found a serious block in the form of Canadian emcee Drake.

The hitmaking ‘Views’ rapper, whose 9 week grip on the tally’s top spot was interrupted by Blink 182 this week, is already reportedly on track to reoccupy the #1 position next week.

Details inside:



Report:

YMCMB/Republic’s Drake has officially returned to the top of the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart for a tenth non-consecutive week, following a brief stint at #2 (thanks to the release of blink-182’s California on BMG).Views earns back the throne with another 88k. Meanwhile on the Album Sales Chart,TDE/Interscope’s ScHoolboy Q debuts at #1 with 52k for his fourth studio album,Blank Face LP.

Drizzy’s reign has certainly kept the streaming debate a hot topic as many weeks of his lengthy term at the stop has been due to huge streaming boosts and not actual sales (this week included).

Either way, congrats are in order!

    When will big bird?

    • Mark111 /.\ July 16, 2016

      But Chevy Silverado never had a US release.

      • Keri Qween July 16, 2016

        Oop @king mark

      • CherylSoldierr July 16, 2016

        But she has 3 number one albums ?????

  6. Molly #TheMostRelevantBitch July 16, 2016

    Awesome drake

  7. Mark111 /.\ July 16, 2016

    Poor Tang Orange Powdered Drink Mix. Drake murdered her this era. And the fact that Drake is an Aaliyah stan makes it that much sweeter. 🙂

    • HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

      But didn’t Drakeisha write a song about LegendYoncé

      • HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

        Oh Marsha! Are you really going to sit there and say Drake has Ghostwriters and still believe Cheatanna Writes/Produces her music?

      • Keri Qween July 16, 2016

        Rihanna never claims to be a songwriting genius like your fave neither does she take credit for others work like the thief you stan for

      • HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

        Bitxh! Has Been fan vill is that way????

      • Mark111 /.\ July 16, 2016

        Never said Rihanna was a writer. Clearly you Pest are running out of clapbacks, so you’re making ish up. lol
        .
        Most artist don’t LIE about doing things that they clearly don’t and always being exposed from it. I’m sure Beyonce can’t even write her name. lol

      • HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

        DEATH! So now you gunna sit there and act like you Slavi haven’t been boasting around all year about fRih having “songwriting and producing credits” on each track on Anti! Saying she getting paid top dollar because she owns her masters kiii!!! The self contradictions never fail with the Slavi ????!!!
        .
        Much like how y’all are fluctuating about whether TIWYCF is a fRih song or not, now that the world knows Tay Tay put her penmanship to it! Poor Frih has to have Taylor ghost write for her. The desperation and decline IS REAL!!! That’s like SELENA GOMEZ WRITING FOR TAYLOR LMFAOOO!!! Yonce and Taylor WOULD NEVER!!!

      • Mark111 /.\ July 16, 2016

        You’re stupid, hahahaha. Song writer credit doen’t mean that she wrote it, it means that she owns it and gets a cut from it. You as a Beyonce stan should know all about that, that woman been adding her name since Writing On The Wall (the irony). You seem bothered, can’t wait for next week when Anti tops Punch Juice.

  8. The Thot You’ll Never Be July 16, 2016

    Mess with only 30k
    .
    Pretty clear Taylor’s next Era will be her Adele’s 21 era

    • The Thot You’ll Never Be July 16, 2016

      .

  9. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 16, 2016

    Wow, his staying power is crazy. I wonder if this is his prime right now. Anyway, he better profit off that potential and add some stadiums to his tour, especially in Canada.

  10. Keri Qween July 16, 2016

    King of blocking faves

  11. HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

  15. HailLegendBeysus July 16, 2016

      u ARE ONLY CALLING IT A DEFLECTION BECAUSE U HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY EMPTI TOUR WITH MORE DATES WAS NO WHERE IN THE TOP 10.

  19. JOHNVIDAL July 16, 2016

    This is ridiculous. Nobody in their right mind think this man is making any impact with this album or releasing legendary music. Charts and industry are so weak now that things like this can happen. At least when Adele surprised everyone and became a phenomenon topping the album charts for such big number of weeks with “21” she was really leaving her mark and with real HUGE sales, and with songs that are/will be classics (and she´s overrated imo but she was doing that). But this right here? Damn it, 2016 is quickly becoming worst year for music yet once again. This doesn´t stop getting worse…

  20. ow Reddish tran ivy blokz Need UK timely Ukuyikiji July 16, 2016

    Cool

  21. King B July 16, 2016

    Hopefully Anti stay in the top 10 for another 52 weeks, 30 weeks isn’t enough for her to outsell Lemonade.

  22. Rich Bispham July 31, 2016

    In total, Maxwell has claimed four top 10 albums, as he also visited the region with 1998 s No. 3-peaking The online extension of Billboard Magazine, billboard.biz is the essential online destination for the music business.
