Hip Hop royal Drake continues to snap, cackle and pop at and on his critics this week, casting a OVO branded a shadow over his rivals with the release of his surprise mixtape ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.’
For, the project has rocked the Billboard 200 with epic first week sales.
Good news below…
Drake‘s little Valentine surprise, in the form of a 17-track “mixtape” entitled If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, tops the HITS Building Album Sales Chart with just under 500k for YMCMB/Republic.
The set sees a heightened 541k, however, on the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart due to a big Spotify look that contributed to nearly 15k in streams. Track sales also contributed over 30k to the album’s final SPS number.
The release comes before his likely departure from the Cash Money music group, and as his label mate Nicki Minaj watches her latest studio album ‘The Pinkprint’ cross the half a million units sold milestone less than eight weeks after its release.
The album marks her third in four years and spawned the hit singles ‘Pills N Potions’, ‘Anaconda’, ‘Only’ and ‘Truffle Butter‘, the Deep House jam teasing the rapper’s high-end lifestyle and the luxury items that come along with it…’Truffle Butter‘ being one of them.
Rumours circulating around the net had seen the cut given a cruder definition.
Say what u want bout him, the boy can sell
Yes. The boy can sell, but Stinkpusśynika Garbaj can’t. Drake sold 500k in one week for a surprise mixtape. It took Stinkpussynika 9 WEEKS to sell the same amount with MONTHS OF PROMO. That flop ho’s career is over! You can tell that her first week sales are enhanced by payola. That b**** will be done without Cash Money’s financial backing. It’s over!
Look up Lil krim su lee’s first weeks numbers sis and then get back to us after you read that tea.
Listen here you śyphilis infected bum barf bítch. Lil’ Kim has never been a monster first week seller, but what the Queen of Rap has is consistency in sales. Yes, Kim did low first week numbers, but her albums go platinum in 28 days. Unlike Stinkpussynika Garbaj who can only brag about first week sales, but can’t go platinum in sales for albums 2 and 3. How is a bîtch that is supposedly at the top of her game taking NINE WEEKS TO SELL 500K? The bîtch is WASHED UP AND AIN’T NO MOTHERFUĆKING SOAP INVOLVED!!!!!!!
Nicki is just going gold? Wow flop
What about The New Accent?
wait wait wait I hope you’re not a Kelly FLOPLAND stan lmaoooo when she only has one GOLD album which was released over a decade ago l
True dat.
Drakeishaaaaa slaying, murder my vaginaaaa, As for Onika, well done girl but come harder on the next album ..
Drakeishaaaaa lmaooooooooooo 😛
That took nicki long enough. Need a truffle butter video asap.
She dont need anymore videos, She needs promo! Like announce a tour or something
Ciara knows a lot about that
Gold status!!! People are acting like it took 6 months to a year. Can’t take away from Nicki’s shine. Congrats are in order!!
Honey U and dat ho is a FLOP!! 😀
Ooh doll face, don’t make me drag you today. Lol
goo drakee!!
Is The New Accent gold yet? Congrats Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj.
The Pinkprint is the last female rap album to be certified Gold since Nicki’s own Roman Reloaded and before that Pink Friday 🙂
Queen of Rap slaying again!!!
These Iggy/Kim fans are saying that Nicki is a flop. What about The New Flop or Reflopped? Haha
Eat me
Congratulations
Y’all should know that #ONLY is #1 on Billboard Rap Airplay and #TruffleButter is #2..
This thing only proves that Nicki don’t need a pop song to chart. Meanwhile your fave is #93 and she will be gone on Hot 100 this week.
Lmao remember Igloo fans kept claimin we were shook Cuz Iggy would be gold b4 NIC??? Lmao [cries in southern accent]
yes my queen!!!!! no matter what they say in just 8 weeks its gone gold!! slay a bit!
pink Friday has been confirmed by Nielson soundcan to have sold 2.1M in d us making her one of the femcee to have a multiplat album in d USA!!! two plat albums and three certified albums!! and pink print is coming for plat!
Don’t mind urban dictionary, truffle butter means a type of food!! I researched well!!
Drake slay bro!! he’s a dude and she’s a femcee!
Quick quiz!! which female album has gone gold in this decade? in fact since 2005? but she’s gone plat twice! slay girl!! fifteen minutes of fame turned to 6yrs
As much as she’s over hyped and as much as she over promoted, Nicki’s album should have achieved (at least) Gold status during release week. Stop celebrity mediocre numbers.
* celebrating
shut up u goat! how is she not selling good! u wanna know who is overrated? Iggy had not gone gold in 10 months with a #1 hit. 8 weeks b****. if we had stream then it is arrpund 800k units!
They praise Iggy ignoring that she is a flop but go back around and insist that Nicki is a flop for taking 2 months to go gold. It’s been almost a year and The New Accent has none
shut up!
But, the pinktrash is gold because they added streams to the numbers. STOP THE MEDIOCRITY!!!!!!
The struggle sis. Let the barboons have their moment. Btw im still waiting on ULTRAVIOLENCE to scan gold ki
You dumb as hell u goat faced bastar.d. You can’t be certified gold with streams. If that were true then she would’ve been good a month ago. With streams TPP has sold more than 600k+ in the US. Let’s see where truffle butter and Only is slaying the charts this week.
congrats to Nicki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when will Iggggy?????????????
Congrats to Drake too
SO SHE WENT FROM GOING PLAT IN ONE MONTH TO GOLD IN LIKE TWO MONTHS .. BOY THE DECLINE IS REAL
BUT CONGRATS TO HER STANS HAVE SOMETHING NEW TO CELEBRATE AFTER THOSE MEDIOCRE FIRST WEEK SALES 😆
Why y’all not talking about Mariah’s flop album?
ARE YOU TOO DUMB TO REALIZE THAT MY SCREEN NAME IS SHADE
girl Keri Hilson is her fave not MooriAh LMFAOO. Don’t come for Nicki. It’s gone take me 4 5 seconds to break yo f***** neck U grinch faced hooch
gratz to them both.
He sells albums pretty good. But, he is young & in his “prime” so… That’s expected.
Lol @the usual haters being at it again. Can’t you just congratulate Nick and Drizzy then move on??? Anyway congratulations to my fave and Drake. Queen Onika>>> every rap chick in the game right now.
The Queen! Gold In two months is Awsome although I expected it to sell way more because it’s filled with great music!! The PinkPrint is one of the best female rap full body of work ever even if they don’t want admit it
By at Drake’s mixtape almost outselling her album with less than a week of sales.
LOL BYE AT HER OUTSELLING THE FLOPPED CLASSIC AND REFLOPIFIED COMBINED AFTER ONLY 2 MONTHS LOL.

Screaming at Drakes mixtape outselling the pinkshit and ultratrash in just one week..
Slay Nicki. She´s the only female rapper that can get a certified album. This decade alone she´s the only one that gets certified albums. Oh and she has three certifed singles in the Pink Print. Pills N Potions is gold. Anaconda is double platinum and Only is platinum. Slay Nick

Congrats to both, Even though I dont use Drakeisha. I hope they settle their label dramas, so that it doesnt affect them
RIP Drake http://t.co/dspqsNimyp
Congrats to Drake for those numbers! They’re especially impressive considering he made people pay for a mix tape without knowing what is on it. Congrats to Nicki as well. How sad that some of her stans can’t congratulate her without bringing up Iggy. The Iggy obsession is still real. Even sadder that everyone who has something negative to say about Nicki is assumed to be an Iggy stan. A testament to the fact that it’s still Iggy SZN. Go Hard or Go Home is still climbing on iTunes (currently #31) and Trouble debuted on radio last week and is already making gains. If you thought Iggy would be done by this year, you’re wrong. Some stans will have to learn to accept that their are two female rappers on the scene now.
Just because their are only 2 females rappers on the scene now doesn’t mean people have to accept it, now be gone you heathen flop.
The only heathen here is you due to your lack of comprehension. I couldn’t give two sh*ts about how you feel about Iggy or Nicki’s music. But you will accept that there are two female rappers on the scene and that neither are going away anytime soon. Deal with it.
They can sell all they want, it’s clear that they don’t see any of their money from Cash Money. Told y’all long time ago that him and Nicki aren’t making any money from music.
b**** you had better check their net worth’s and have a seat with the rest of the bitter trolls.
Taylor Swift’s 1989 dips 1-5 (125,000; up 16 percent). The latter album falls out of the top two for the first time in its 16-week chart run.
Lmfao 5 singles later, countless public appearances , and it takes her almost 10 weeks to go gold??? All bang and no buck.
CONGRATZ DRAKE!!!!
He should be on his way to platinum in about 4-6 weeks from now. The sales are now 620k (without streaming. With streaming is around 720k)
