Chart Check: Drake’s ‘Take Care’ Spends 90th Week in UK Top 20

Published: Sunday 4th Aug 2013 by David

Two years after taking the album to #5 in their market, the British public have continued to show their love for Drake‘s sophomore set ‘Take Care’ this week.

How, you ask?

Drake‘s latest win below!

One month before the release of his new album ‘Nothing Was The Same’, the Rapper’s audience have purchased enough copies of the album this week to see it spend its 90th non-consecutive week in the Urban Top 20.

Currently perched at #11 on the Official Urban Chart, the album’s mind blowing run on the chart comes months after the LP was certified Gold in the nation for sales of over 100,000 units- all of which were sold at full price.

Now however, the project is being sold at the discounted price of £5.99- giving British audiences even more an incentive to pick up the critically acclaimed LP, which enjoyed a steady run on the chart’s Top 40 before its price was reduced.

Sure to see its sales rocket even further upon the release of ‘Nothing Was The Same‘, ‘Care’s chart glory marks one of many commercial feats to be secured this week.

For, rising one spot to #18 is Rihanna‘s ‘Loud’– spending its 142nd week in the Top 20 while Beyonce‘s ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ one ups it by spending its 241st  week in the Top 40, currently housed at #22 as 2011’s ‘4′ rocks out at #26!

  6. OnikaIsQueen August 4, 2013

    What kind of lowkey slayage?

    • Slaylor Swift August 4, 2013

      Nicki could never

      • ATM JAM August 4, 2013

        But Taylor’s album dropped out of the UK in the third of week after being released here on the UK. Nicki’s album (PFRR) has been in the top 40 ever since she released it in 2012. Care to explain?

  7. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    And ‘4’?? It’s on its 3rd re-release, surely it should be doing something….right?

    • BeyWhoUWanna August 4, 2013

      Oh f*** off you b****.

    • Lolz August 4, 2013

      And Loud is supposed to be her most ‘iconic’ album yet cant outsell IASF.

      • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

        How may re-releases did I am Sasha Fierce have again?

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        How many hits did LOUD have again?

  8. cici slaaaaaays August 4, 2013

    Loud and Sasha fierce are two generic tacky albums can’t believe people still buying that B*******!!!

    • FentySoSnatched August 4, 2013

      Everybody is ignoring you like they do all of Ciara’s albums.

  9. TaylorWins August 4, 2013

    Inspired by Taylor I see.

    • Slaylor Swift August 4, 2013

  10. Slaylor Swift August 4, 2013

  13. RitasLipstick August 4, 2013

    Poor lowly Ciara stans coming for Queen Beyonce and Whoranna.

    • Ciara is everything August 4, 2013

      B**** your fav is the industry c** dumpster that b**** wont ever be s*** in America

      • RitasLipstick August 4, 2013

        That would be Ciara begging Kanye to smash her honey. We know the true tea.

  14. Draggin4MrsCarter August 4, 2013

    Everyday I come here and it’s the same f****** s***. When will the Navy just accept that Beyonce is Queen and bow to her.

    • Ciara is everything August 4, 2013

      B**** Beyonce aint the Queen Janet Jackson is h** now have a f****** seat fat c***

    • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

      MAYBE when Beyonce gets a hit again.

      • Ciara is everything August 4, 2013

        Which will be never.

  15. CandyWarhol August 4, 2013

    Awww, good for Aubrey.

  16. Rosie August 4, 2013

    The same basic ass Cedric stans trying to drag when his album only sold 81k to date.

    • Slayara Princess Harris August 4, 2013

      What impact has Lana made tho?

      • Rosie August 4, 2013

        Allah Del Rey’s impact is everywhere though, whether it comes from other celebs copying her look on the street (Gaga) or other basic b****** stealing her music style with much hype for being “original” and still failing to go global (Lorde).
        Born To Die will hit 700k in the states next week. Cedric will be lucky to even sell half of that worldwide.

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 4, 2013

        @Rosie :

        B**** Collect yourself before I come and collect it from you, don’t go religious over Lana, this B**** is still has no #1 hit , no WW tour, NO #1 ALBUM, no Diamond certificate ?

        And all that huffing and puffing and she’s yet to cross the 700k In US ?

        B**** Bye, BTD was released since forever! 😯

        talk about the struggle of daddy’s girl.

        I love her, she’s artistic and all, But keep it all the way cute and never call her “allah” ever again, that s*** is offensive.

      • Rosie August 4, 2013

        Lana has multiple #1 hits in many countries and BTD went #1 in 12. Not to mention it has sold 4.1 million worldwide.
        The US isn’t everything, sweetie. That’s why it’s no longer the largest market. And even then Paradise outsold Cedric’s first week with very, and I mean VERY little promo.

  17. Slayara Princess Harris August 4, 2013

    Fantasy Ride> Loud > Sasha Fierce

    #Truth
    #Fact
    #Deal
    #Csquad4Life

  18. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    My dog’s fart > I am…sasha fierce.

    • Slayara Princess Harris August 4, 2013

      Agreed it was such a bad album

  19. QueenCeline August 4, 2013

    Ciara fans say they’re brave, but everyone knows they have a cd buying phobia.

    • ^AKA^ August 4, 2013

      Katy Perry and Celine will release their new albums on the day day? What do you think, who will end up selling more in the first week? 😀

  20. Lolz August 4, 2013

    I thought LOUD was supposed sooo iconic. Yet it cant outsell that ‘dogs fart’ IASF?

    • Lolz August 4, 2013

      supposed to be*

    • Slayara Princess Harris August 4, 2013

      Loud has better material than I am a attention w**** I dont even care about riherpes but that’s the truth

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        So why cant it outsell IASF its so much better?

      • woman to woman August 4, 2013

        I am came out 2 years before loud so of course it would have sold more use your common sense.

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        No excuse. There’s many albums that came out after and can outsell it.

      • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

        What versatility? Stop fooling yourself and wake up from your slumber.

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        @Brandys Starr I agree. Showed ghetto Beyoncé, soft Beyoncé, ballad Beyoncé and so on. Its not my fave album from her, but I agree.

      • ETONE August 4, 2013

        @brandystar

        IASF album is old and done
        IASF was a big big copycat album
        so if that was her best then????

      • Brandys Starr August 4, 2013

        @Etone. What? I like the album. That’s my opinion. Didn’t ask for yours.

      • ETONE August 4, 2013

        its a blog b**** if you cant take the comments kill yourself

      • Brandys Starr August 4, 2013

        And if you don’t like the fact I enjoy Beyonces album, do the same.

  21. Rosie August 4, 2013

    Not the Official Urban Charts. No one cares.
    Still love Drake though.

  22. woman to woman August 4, 2013

    I am Sasha fierce is basic.

  23. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    You’re comparing an album that was released ONCE to an album that has got 626526262 re-releases and practically EVERY song on the CD as a single? OK.

    • Lolz August 4, 2013

      Rihannas so much more popular and powerful than Beyoncé in your estimation though with ALLLL them hits. Yet LOUD (her most iconic apparently) is what like just over 2 mill ahead of Beyonces worst selling album? OK.

      • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

        2 million ahead?? Try 3 million ahead, and as you can see, still selling.

        Anyway 4 is on it’s THIRD RE-RELEASE, why isn’t it pushing higher numbers? I really want to know.

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        3 mill ahead? WOW ok that’s SOOO much better! (side eye). What kind of iconic stats for an album with a WW Tour and #1s compared to one with un-promoted re-releases! So impressive!!!!! Keep clinging to straws.

      • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

        unpromoted releases? Are you kidding me?

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        What promo went into her re-releases?

      • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

        B’Day – Beautiful Liar

        I am Sasha Fierce – Why don’t you love me

        4 – Superbowl (the third re-release came out after the superbowl).

      • Lolz August 4, 2013

        Nope you failed since I was only talking about 4. Still doesn’t compare to a so-called iconic album, with a WW Tour and #1 hits only a being a few mill ahead.

  24. Brandys Starr August 4, 2013

    Congrats Drake!

  25. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    So after Glastonbury, Oprah’s final show, VMAs, Billboard Awards, American Idol, 116416584658464 singles and videos, and to top it all off, 6541646546 re-releases, ‘4’ is still…well…SO SO. What a waste, this b**** is clueless, where is Matthew?

    That Sony money should have gone to someone more deserving, she obviously didn’t make it back.

  26. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    So, the only Beyonce album to have one release is Dangerously in Love. So far;

    B’Day – 3 re-releases, 646166 singles and videos, saved by Irreplaceable.

    I am…Sasha Fierce – 3 to 4 re-releases, 16513435 singles and videos, saved by Halo

    4 – 3 re-releases, 648454354841351834354 singles and videos, saved by ________????

  27. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    I am trying to understand the so called “album” artist, I mean Mariah, Whitney, Madonna never had to re-release their albums 6545618 times, those are album artists and yet the hive call Beyonce an album artist and yet she has to re-release her s*** 3 to 4 times. How then does that qualify that statement, I do not understand. What’s with all those re-releases, cant you be confident in your s***?

    • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

      and Britney

    • MuiMui August 4, 2013

      Keepspilling the truth serum,and even after all of Beyonce releases it is amazing to me how Destiny childs has two albums with Ten Million copies sold,Writing on the Wall, Survivor,While Britney has OOPS sELLINGOVER

      • MuiMui August 4, 2013

        Britney Oops selling over twenty million and Britney self
        entitle album Britney selling ten million and counting.
        Yet people are trying to talk Rihanna Album sales down.
        Even when Beyonce was cutting up and there was no Rihanna back in 2003 when Crazy In Love was so huge
        and that single Bonnie & Clyde,and Baby Boy always great songs Beyonce still was not the top Seller for the year.
        They worry about sales and Alicia and Pink both has albums with sales of over 12 million but along Beyonce can’t boast about that.

  28. Drew August 4, 2013

    Lovebird why are breaking down honey? Rihanna has all them hits AND singles she is no better. What are you shading?

    • Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

      I’m trying to understand the Beyonce hype.

      • Drew August 4, 2013

        No you aint. You’re bored. I wonder the same about Rihanna sometimes. But I have better things to do. Have a nice evening.

      • MuiMui August 4, 2013

        LOVEBIRD Jut tell them to check the RIAA,and then
        tell them to relax to the Global Charts and go to the Archives and look at the charts,for albums and singles and then be for sure to check out the Achievenments and read very carefully.Then check out the all times charts History and then they can see for themselves that Beyonce is Average at best with her albums and singles sales as compared to less say Britney even.
        Beyonce is a great Artist and I Respect Her Hustle but her Bey Hive is all Screwed up in their head, and the Two Ciara Fans need to Relax to themselves to a tall Iced Glass of Stfu.
        ALSO,It amazes Me how Beyonce and Her Team are stuck on Perfection at any cost, and reading the Previews on Her Tour stops are so dam Staged , each and every word is carefully chosen to get the Biggest Bang.

        It will be interesting to read how Beyonce and Her Team spin this Devil talk that is seen floating around on her and it will surely catch fire and speed this week coming up.

  29. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 4, 2013

    So even after ALL those singles, you still cannot get yourself more #1s than Mariah, nor more Billboard Hot 100 entries than Nicki Minaj, after all those videos and singles??

    • Barb B**** August 4, 2013

      Girl rest. I like you but damn the Mrs Carter obsession is too much

  30. POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 4, 2013

    Damn, SOMEONE posted the music Videos from the 4 Era and I fell in LOVE all over again….

    Love “1+1” ! 😀

    Congrats to Rihonce! #BadGirlsDoItWell

    • ETONE August 4, 2013

      Well keep on lovin’ 4 beyonce last rip off album cause her next album will flop hard

  31. Joka August 4, 2013

    Love me some Drake. Hated Loud. Only Rihanna album I have time for is Rated R. I can listen to all of Beyonces albums though.

  32. Gopit August 4, 2013

    But Sam won’t mention how quick Ciara’s record is dropping, though… I have love for Ciara but still. If this was Rihanna’s record, he’d go all the freaking way with it.

    • ETONE August 4, 2013

      and that’s why we are here, we are not gonna sit by and let this site attack Rihanna.

      • Gopit August 4, 2013

        They have to attack someone and Rihanna just so happens to be the scapegoat probs cause they couldn’t get an interview with her haha

  33. Barb B**** August 4, 2013

    TAKE CARE WAS MY MUTHAFUCKEN SOWNG!

  34. Barb B**** August 4, 2013
