anyone surprised? nah
GIRL! Jay z only sold 10k more than Drake with Blue Print 3 in the first week, and this is Drake’s first album. Yes honey I think we’ve crowned a new champion. Sold 100k more copies in the first week than Chris Brown has sold to this day! BLAHAHAHAH <3
Get it boy!
pity sales.
GOOD FOR HIM, JUST PROVES THAT WITH A LOT OF PROMOTION ARTISTS CAN STILL SELL

And for the dumbass Ci-error stan that said Drake was a flop….sweetie inhale and then exhale before you choke b**** <3
I still can’t seem to sit through it yet, but I’ll give it a listen eventually. Anyway, Congrats Drake!
And we all know Rihanna’s name helped him push half of those sales….yes boo once he did that lil story those numbers started adding up. That’s why Eminem jumped on the bandwagon and did Love The Way You Lie, which is going to be number 1 next week. And I can guarantee that Eminem is going to push more than 500k sweethearts.
Rihanna has just put food on all of these people’s plates and their feasting <3
Congrats Rihanna’s B****
This isn’t a surprise. HE IS GREAT. And this album is sooo fantastic!!! DRAKE FOREVER!
Congrats drake his album is great although it leakd it didnt harm the sell so find anthoer excuse for youre favos floping and stop playing the old thealbumleaked card
Rihanna helped Drake sold records ???? That’s the funniest ish I’ve heard today.
DRAKE ALBUM DIDN’T LIVE UP TO THE HYPE THE SALES ARE GOOD BUT CONSIDERING ALL THE HYPE I THINK THE SALES SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THE ALBUM IS HOT AND IT HAS A LOT OF BIG NAME FEATURES WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR A FIRST ALBUM
BUT WHAT WAS HOLIYAH AND FUNKTINA’S FIRST WEEK SALES
YES Drake!
I haven’t given this album a listen yet…….is it worth giving it a listen ???
I heard some song he did with Aaliyahs “at your best” vocals at the start and wasnt really feeling it…….any stand out songs on the album, I should check out ????
great sales for a debut artist. Drake should be very proud. But it was kind of expected. Congrats none the less.
And of course everyone knows Eminem is gonna have the #1 album next week. It’s in the stars lol. His first single was number one, his promo’s been decent and he has another song that’s already getting a lot of attention.
Emienem and Rihanna ??? Who would’ve thought that would work? But it does and it sounds amazing!
It’d be awesome if Em could score the number one album and the number one single in the same week. But idk if “Love The Way” is gonna knock Katy Perry off the top spot. Her downloads and radio airplay have been ridicilous. I think “Lie” will debut at #2 next week.
But what a great comeback of sorts for Em.
Oh and congrats again Drake!
:homoswitch:
WOW ANOTHER NON-RIHANNA POST????
WOW YALL NOT IN HER P**** AND LICKING EVERY BIT OF IT??????????
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
wow, even though I really don’t care too much for him I’m still happy for him. Because most artist don’t sell half that in the first week. i guess he’s doing something right.
Congrats to Drake wit his cute self 🙂
@Gucci
LMAO
question of the day. HOW DID RIHANNA HELPED DRAKE ‘S ALBUM SELLS, WHEN THE BISH CANT EVEN SELL HER OWN DAMN SELF?
isnt sad thought, all these new people selling over 400k, and yet rihanna cant even break 200k..
good for u drake, love that album, yea he should have sold more with all the hype , but at least he didnt flop..
what the hell does chris brown got to do with this post..ur obsession with chris brown is getting pathetic dude.
Gucci
HUN. THE SONG WITH EM AND RIHANNA IS NOT GOING TO #1 NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER THAT YOU CAN THAT KATY AIRPLAY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND PICKING UP EVERY DAY AND PLUS SHE HAS THE ITUNES SALES SO YOU CAN EX THAT OUT
drake is extremely heavily promoted with all kinds of air play. he should have sold a million with that massive promotion
Gucci
Then you said by using Rihanna’s name help???? WAIT Rihanna couldn’t even sale 200,000 in the FIRST OR GET A #1 ALBUM AND SHE IS RIHANNA SO PLEASE HAVE A SIT
Drake’s album is FIYAH! The sales are GREAT, but I think if he would have released at the end of last year or at the beginning of this year he would have had WAY more sales. I think he dragged on his hype a little too long. But good for him anyway!
@Blasian
I’m trying to figure that out, too. How the F*** would Rihanna being on only ONE song of Em’s album, help him sale 500k when first off he’s the greatest selling artist of this DECADE and Rihanna couldn’t sell 200k of her OWN album??? Damn, these kids need to learn how to think before they type some ignorant s*** like that! Geez!
~TeAM WeeZY~
That’s what I’m trying understand Rihanna album hasn’t even sold 1 million in the STATES yet in it’s been 7 months
Uh oh I think we have a case of not keeping up. Rihanna broke the 1 million mark a while ago sweetie, and she’s pushing more than 2.5 mil worldwide. And it’s obvious that everything Rihanna touches turns to gold. 7th number 1 song hun. Eminem figured it out and he will do well next week as well
@Blasian
You mad because Beyonce tapped Gaga for a collabo and STILL COULDN’T GET A NUMBER 1? My gosh boo first Video Flop then Teleflop. Nothing Beyonce does is really that important….even with Gaga of all people.
Let’s not forget that Drake’s album was leaked 2 weeks before his album’s release. 470K is amazing considering that.
I LOVE DRAKE’S ALBUM! IT WAS WORTH MY MONEY/TIME. CONGRATZ TO HIM! 🙂
THE U.S. HAS A POPULATION OF( 309,575,192), THREE HUNDRED NINE MILLION, 5 HUNDRED 75 THOUSAND, AND 192, AND HE DIDN’T EVEN SELL 500,000 WITH THAT MASSIVE PROMOTION THEY GAVE HIM. HE’S ON TV AND RADIO SO DAMN MUCH IT IS UNBELIEVABLE, AND DIDN’T EVEN SELL ONE MILLION, AND THAT IS CALLED SUCCESS??????
DID HE SELL ANYTHING AT ALL IN CANADA OR EUROPE?
309,575,192??
^^ LOL @ that approximate number. Dont you know B****** have to die?? LOL
