Drake Changes Album Name…Hours Before Its Release

Published: Thursday 28th Apr 2016 by Sam
drake-views-thatgrapejuice

With just a few hours remaining until Drake unleashes new album exclusively on Apple Music, it has dramatically been revealed the eagerly anticipated set has been re-titled.

Yes.

The long-touted ‘Views From The 6’ is no more.

Find out what Drizzy has christened the LP after the jump…

The Toronto Star and Pitchfork have both confirmed that the project will now simply go by the (capitalised) ‘VIEWS.’ 

Omitting the ‘6’ (which represents the city the rapper hails from) is unlikely to halt the gargantuan success which is forecasted for the album.

As at writing, early estimates have the ‘One Dance’ and ‘Pop Style’ led effort on course for a debut with sales of over 1 million…in the US.

    Beyonce who? her time has past… one week only

    • Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn Is ? April 28, 2016

      Delusion of Grandeur.

    • CICI STAN April 28, 2016

      Beyonce is over. I hope Jay Z cancels the career he gave her

    • Danyboo April 28, 2016

      Whether her album is #1 or #100 shes professional.

  2. King Mark111 /.\ April 28, 2016

    What kind of Kanye fashion mess? Iguess, still not buying or playing expect for the Rihanna track.

  3. Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn Is ? April 28, 2016

    It doesn’t matter how many times he changes it, he’s still gonna sell very well.

    • What Now April 28, 2016

      True.

  4. #TeamTinashe Stan April 28, 2016

    What kind of Kanye move? Lol hehe! Im ready though!!

    Btw, Rihanna actually has pissed me off this morning by TAKING a song but not just any song, but the title track song “JOYRIDE” from Tinashe so I am fuming over that.
    HASHTAG: #BYE 🙁

    • King Mark111 /.\ April 28, 2016

      What you talking about? Say what?

      • #TeamTinashe Stan April 28, 2016

        Your fave Rihanna heard and recorded to the title track of Tinashe’s new album. Hence this is a part of the reason why her album is delayed.

    • Meiz April 28, 2016

      Ri has a song called JoyRide?

    • Sam April 28, 2016

      I’m confused about this for a few reason. Tinashe is one of the main writers of the song so i’m surprised that it got jacked. She never preformed the song on the “world” tour she was doing and finally if its the song thats been floating around it sounds like trash.

  5. Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) April 28, 2016

    He changed it like 2 days ago not “hours”. You’re just late.

  6. RihYonce April 28, 2016

    I’m ready for you Drake !!!

  7. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 28, 2016

    DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAATH! ??????? BeyFlopcé no longer has the most acclaimed album by a Female. The hive should not count their chicken before they hatch. I CAN’T!
    ________________
    ‘Lemonade’ by Beyoncé now has a score 92 on Metacritic (21 critics). It remains the 2nd most acclaimed female album.

    • T April 28, 2016

      Still higher than all your faves. Lmao you’re an idiot

    • Hmm… $17.99>>>>$0.00 April 28, 2016

      “It remains the 2nd most acclaimed female album”
      This should help… Remain- to stay in the place one has been occupying
      ————————————————————

      If the moron knew basic elementary vocabulary, he’d also know that Beyoncé never had the most acclaimed album by a female artist to lose it ???

    • Beyonce is winning b**** April 28, 2016

      SHUT UP TROLL

    • Will April 29, 2016

      Dumbass..what other female has first SIX solo albums hit #1?? Quit reaching. You look so stupid. You’re the type that’ll be like BEYONCE JUST DROPPED HER FORK ON THE GROUND DEEEEEEEATH FLOPYONCE! #prayers

  8. Applause April 28, 2016

    Im purchasing. I don’t like sour lemons.

  9. Cinnamon Girl April 28, 2016

    SCREAMING!!! You mean to tell me Drake can sell 1 million copies but Beyawnce can’t?

    • Applause April 28, 2016

      Drake didn’t need a visual album to sell over a million either.

      • Cinnamon Girl April 28, 2016

        Exactly

    • Krista April 28, 2016

      Don’t you Stan for Ciara though? I don’t get it…

      • Cinnamon Girl April 28, 2016

        Stop deflecting! Drake can sell 1 million in a week but Beyawnce can’t?I thought Bey was the queen?! Lol!

    • UR April 28, 2016

      Drake’s lighter-skinned.

    • Honeychildplease April 29, 2016

      Lmao right

  10. Kayla C April 28, 2016

    Y’all are so late

  11. LB April 28, 2016

    Ya, @Tinashe stan, I heard the producers of Joyride gave the song to Rihanna. Apparently they also removed Tinashe’s part, but Tinashe’s album is still called Joyride.

    But anyway Tinashe still has that Calvin Harris song that will be on Anti II this Rihvember.

  12. Applause April 28, 2016

    Rih x Calvin will be msssive

  13. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 28, 2016

    I can’t wait for VIEWS.

  14. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 28, 2016

    The no-life-having-āss-høe-hive have a history of jinxing things. They said LemonAIDS would sell a million firat week and it is slated to sell 400k and then they said it was the most acclaimed album by a Female but it keeps declining on Metacritic. Keep it up ya’ll.

    • © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 28, 2016

      *first

  15. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    Lol @ centurine

    So what? WHERE is Rihsceduled Universally critically acclaimed album? She initially had a score of 60 just slightly better than Royalty (by chrisB) lmao. 92 >>> 7? Btw i like views from the 6 as a title. I just know with all the hype he better do atleast 400k

    • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

      He will do way more than 400k fat b****. Are you insane?

  16. Citi April 28, 2016

    Drake is only a strong 1st week seller. His albums have each sold like 1.5 – 2.5M each by the end of his eras. He’s still a Titan tho

    • Rozel April 28, 2016

      Same with beyonce, she’s strong out the gate, but Rihanna’s albums continue selling long after hers has fizzled out. Rihanna is a marathon seller!

      • King B April 28, 2016

        So where is her other 6 albums on BB200? 7++ years later IASF is still in top 200, 2++ years later Self Titled is still in top 100. Talk that talk spent like one year, same goes to unapologetic etc None of her albums spend 100 weeks. Eggs in your face!

  17. Pat April 28, 2016

    Even more publicity…. slay

  18. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 28, 2016

    Travis Scott gave the song to Rihanna, as in she bought the rights to the song from Travis who owned it. She didn’t steal it. BIG DIFFERENCE! Anyway, we all want Joyride. We’re just as frustrated as you are.

  19. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    @ 2 Cents

    Thats just 4 day sells projected at 500k. Beys 7 day total will likely come close to self titled 7 day total of 800k+ who knows how much with streaming etc. Bey had the same release tactic as FRIH with making the movie free for 2 nights on HBO with MORE than 1 million in collective views including Youtube & Facebook along with illegal download. HDD already stated that if Bey droped to all outlets this past friday it would have sold 1 mill if not close in a 1 week. STItled 400k first day Bday 200+k first day Lemonade 200k first day. WHERE was HDD when cANTI droped? To date Anti christ first day sells remain a MYSTERY

  20. #JACKIE April 28, 2016

    Who cares about Beyonce or Rihanna? Drake will ether them both, especially fRih.

    • BEY>RIH April 28, 2016

      And what about “My goodies girl”?

  21. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    Drake 1st wk always been BIG. I remember when he first droped he had hit after hit but everyone was like WHERE IS THE ALBUM? Then that and every other album he drops get huge first week sells in The US but modest numbers overall. To date Self titled remains the highest seller by a black artist year 2013 till present. Lemonade will top it when Freedom 6 inch & All night goes #1.

  22. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    @JACKED

    Maybe he will. I just wonder how long it .took him to pass 19k? 1 minute or 1 second?

    It’s funny that Ciara and Rihanna stans are trying to drag.

    • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

      I’m not dragging, I’m just saying.

      • Krista April 28, 2016

        Saying what? Drakes sales are not even officially in yet. What is your point when your fave has not even sold a quater of Lemondade first WEEK sales? Hating much?

  33. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 28, 2016

    CAnti >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> JACKed

  34. CICI STAN April 28, 2016

    He’s about to slay LemonAids and the HIVe are panicking. No wonder the HIVe are doing the most. Those crusty moronic faaags cant deal.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 28, 2016

      Drake’s sales will be DESERVED. He won’t need SAMSUNG’S assistance *gulps lemonade*

  35. CICI STAN April 28, 2016

    The HIVe couldn’t handle Adele’s slayage and now Drake. Heyonce will NEVER!

  36. Lolz April 28, 2016

    The funny thing is the Hive are not bothered by Drake or Adele because LEMONADE is still slaying. Death @ Ciara and Rihanna stans trying to cling to anything BUT their faves. How much did your faves last albums sell again?

  37. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 28, 2016

    Lessors don’t be mad just because you can’t sit with us lol. Flop of The Year is a toss up between cAnti and JACKed.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 28, 2016

      Actually I take that back! Anti definitely takes home the Flop of the Year Award. JACKed debuted with better opening numbers OOPS! #460 #27

      • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

        LemonLATE will be forgotten in two months.

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 28, 2016

  38. GurlWepa1989 April 28, 2016

    This is the number Beyonce should be pulling. Get it Drake?

  39. Keri Qween April 28, 2016

    One million first week. When will Beyonce even with an hour long movie attached ?

    • Lolz April 28, 2016

      Beyonce is doing more than both your faves combined hush.

  40. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    Could Drakes first day sells surpass beys first 4 day sells. Is drake views album even out on Apple yet? Question 3: wil they count the fact that lemonade cost 60% more than the avg album into its sales equivalant total?lol poor drake & everyone else during BEE SEASON.

  41. Wildest Dreamer April 28, 2016

    When will Beyniggerce?

  42. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    HDD already spilled the LEMONADE about B6. If it were released Friday to all possible outlets and not just title & prior to HBO Premeire and encore LEMONADE would have sold 1 mill first week. Drakes #s are premature anyway. It just droped like an idk why the unessasart album title tweek. Views sounds stupid by itself. I wish Jayz would huurry up and drop. Didnt drake just drop hours ago? How can they determine 1 mill so fast.

    • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

    I’ll scream if Drake does not sell 1 million like you people are hoping and praying for. TBH i dont think he will. But I hope the Navy read him as hard are you are ‘trying’ to read Beyonce (who has very impressive non-phone-shop-purchased sales btw)

    • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

      Why hasn’t Icki gotten a platinum album since her debut? Even Ciara has two platinum albums.

      • Barb B**** April 28, 2016

        TPP is platinum try again.

        Babe, TPP is certified PLATINUM by RIAA. What does that receipt have to do with anything? Those are sales not certifications. But I wouldn’t expect a Cierror stan to understand since your fave cannot achieve either.

      • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

        And anti is certified platinum after selling 350k so what’s your point bih? ?????

      • Barb B**** April 28, 2016

        Myy point is, my fave has had platinum album since her debut and more to the point ALL our faves have PLATINUM albums in recent years but your’s so why you here again?

      • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

        The struggle to be a barb Kii. Rihanna > Icki

      • Barb B**** April 28, 2016

        But all of them> Cierror.
        Why you here again?

  44. Barb B**** April 28, 2016

    Why are Ciara fans stalking everyone. You can’t sit with the platinum club. Your fave hasn’t had a platinum album in almost 10 years.

    • #JACKIE April 28, 2016

      And your fav hasn’t had one in 6. HELLO?

    Rihanna’s on his album???. He’s posting pictures of everyone who is on the album! Tomorrow is Rihanna/drake day for sure!!!!

  46. DIABETIC STROKE April 28, 2016

    @JACKED

    YOUu MAD they ran out of LEMONADE at the MaC Donalds you work at? You should ask yur boss for sum time off. Bee season can be stressful :/

    http://youtu.be/AbPnL3zSTGg

  47. Rihboy April 28, 2016

    Drake is at the top of trending 140 . Lemons starting to taste like lime. Funny story: I was playing sorry while helping my mom cook today. And she was like that’s Rihanna’s new song. I said ????. No’! It’s beyonces? Mom: oh her mouth has gotten filthy(suck on my balks pause)?????. But I love that song. Hold up is getting annoying. All night has now switched with hold up.

  48. No favs, just here for the music April 28, 2016

    Well this will be sure to heighten the hype. Last week it was Lemonade but now I’m ready to throw my coins at you Drake lol

  49. King Mark111 /.\ April 28, 2016

    The Pest are promoting Anti more than Sunny D. Sorry that you clowns have a boring era that already out of people’s thoughts. I see why she was running from 25. Bet after 4 weeks, Anti will out chat it. Bookmark this. 🙂

    • Truth April 29, 2016

      Beyonce running from 25..Mark stop, because we all know that’s why Rihanna delayed her album after three singles. You’re a smart guy Mark, so I know you’re trolling it up right now.
