Chart Check [Billboard 200]: Drake’s ‘Views’ Narrowly Holds To #1 For 8th Week

Published: Wednesday 29th Jun 2016 by Rashad

The battle for the Billboard 200’s top spot proves yet again that all – and we do mean all – is fair in love and war.

Drake, whose streams of his latest album ‘Views’ have literally dominated the history books and current charts, was set to finally be ousted from the top spot this week thanks to legendary rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers and their new album, ‘The Getaway.’

A turn of events came when, during the last two days of the Nielsen tracking week, Drizzy and team gave his SPS numbers a boost after a sale saw the album’s price slashed to $6.99.

The result?

Drake’s ‘Views’ holds tight to the #1 position on the Billboard 200 for an 8th consecutive week – with just 6,000 copies difference between he and the Peppers.  But, just in case you were wondering where all of your other favorites landed on this week’s refreshed chart, you can look below to find out:
