Published: Sunday 7th Aug 2016 by Rashad

DJ Khaled‘s newest album, ‘Major Key,‘ is apparently just what he needed to unlock his first #1 on Billboard 200.

Much to the delight of his fans, the DJ/rapper’s first release on his new label home – Epic Records – has not only helped him dethrone his ‘For Free’ co-star Drake after the Canadian emcee’s set, ‘Views,’ nabbed 12 nonconsecutive weeks at #1, it’s also given Khaled his inaugural run atop the albums chart.

As if that’s not enough, ‘Key’s collected Khaled’s largest sales week in the last 10 years!  Find out his stats below:



Via Billboard:

DJ Khaled scores his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as his latest release, Major Key, debuts in the top slot. The set earned 95,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Aug. 4, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 59,000 were in traditional album sales — DJ Khaled’s largest sales week since 2007.

Major Key’s sales launch is DJ Khaled’s second-biggest week in his career — his only larger frame was logged back in 2007, when We The Best bowed at No. 8 with 79,000 sold.

Featuring Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Future, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Meghan Trainor, and more, Khaled’s new album was available exclusively through Apple Music its first week of release.  It became widely available through other digital retailers on August 5th and will see physical form on August 12th.

    Congratulations Rihanna.

    .

    “ANTI” spends its 26th week in the top-10 (with its total SPS at: 1,463,000) and is only four weeks away from being one of 15 albums in BB200 history to spend 30+ weeks in the top 10 and the third most by a female artist this century thus far!

    .

    The longevity of this era is astounding. I wish other acts were able to “flop” so brilliantly.

    Congratulations TWENTYONEPILOTS also. 🙂 😉 😉

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      BUT THE ANTIT OUR STILL COULD NOT SELL OUT ARENAS DESPITE A NINE WEEK NO 1 SINGLE….YET THE FORMATION TOUR IS ABOUT TO SELL OUT THE MOST STADIUMS ON ONE TOUR..LOL

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy August 7, 2016

        Janet Jackson welcomes her to the old pop broads hall of fame… where the slogan is “Active Music career gone; singing old hits to bring nostalgia is how we stay noticed”

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

        LOL….THE GAG IS THAT LEMONADE HAS OUTSOLD CANTI…

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy August 7, 2016

        No the real gag is that Yonce’s album sales were front loaded when she decided to use Blue’s bells and whistles to drop the album yet the MUSIC, you know the stuff that really matters, has NO staying power.

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

        U FOOL, IT HAS NO STAYING POWER BECAUSE IT I SNOT ON THE RELEVANT STREAMING SITES. TALKING OF STAYING POWER, HOW IS FRIH A DECADE INTO HER CARERR AND CAN’T SELL OUT AN ARENA IN US OF ALL PLACES?????

      • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

        @ISpeakBullshit

        Bitxh you need to keep Janet out of your dirty mouth. You stay with your stupid ass doing these nonsense apologies, that always have Janet involved somehow. You are the definition of pressed.

        I love Rih but don’t push it b****. She wins because of $1.29 singles and streaming.

        She doesn’t have the credentials of a Janet Jackson or the dollar for dollar sales of a Beyonce so shut the phuck up.

        Also, I would like to know who has been around 30+ years and still has radio hits today? Riddle me that..

        You can do ‘Nostolgia’ tours when you have a massive amount of classics that stand the test of time..

      • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

        *Analogies

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy August 7, 2016

        @Anastopbeingsodamnannoying First off, I have nothing but respect for Janet; however, I like to use Janet and Madonna’s current state as a reference point to compare and gauge where other artists are today. And let’s not get it twisted about Rih, she is THAT B*TCH. As the last living rockstar is noted as the highest selling black female artist, the music industry is dying; there is a mass epidemic to the developments in technology.

      • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

        Well, Everytime I see you making these analogies you have Janet down. Not Madonna, or Mariah.

        I hear where your trying to go, but none of the men or women from Janet’s time are touring of of anything but past hits.

        I think Rih and Bey are both megastars in the industry, and are each doing a part to change the rules and keep the industry from being a total flop.

        Anyway bitxh I get where you are coming from now.

        I thought you were coming for Queen Janet’s throat. So no worries. ?

  9. CiLegend August 7, 2016

    LOL where Lemonade at?

  10. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy August 7, 2016

    “Rih must be sucking all the Billboard execs d*cks so they will fix the servers and let CANTI’s image to remain on the Top 10 page” #ShitTheHIVeSays

    Beyonce will never sell 100m albums like Britney or have her legacy. That bleached thigh gap editting flop whale is done.

    • The Legend Called Missy Elliott August 8, 2016

      Girl bye! Take S******’s struggly vocals with you.

  16. Usher up August 7, 2016

    Lol wtf… how are you celebrating an album falling out of the top ten, when it has over 1 million in pure sales, and is on one streaming service….as oppose to an album that’s not gold, and is on 3 or more streaming services…where is the logic in that. You’re basically bringing attention to how much of a flop your fav is.

    You stans do the most. To make it even more pathetic, the ones doing all the hate, comes from a self hating c***, a closeted f**, and a pedophil’e, extremely disturbing. You old ass gay men need to get it together.

  17. Royalkev August 7, 2016

    Congrats to Khaled! … As far as ‘Lemonade’ is concerned, I’m sure Bey’s not worried about dropping out the top 10 after selling 1.2 million pure sales! People celebrating like they don’t know the VMA’s are about to happen! … Give her a minute and she’ll be right back!

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      A real boss would had never fallen off. Oh and will the VMA’s be her promoting? Because i thought she didn’t do that. 🙂

      • Royalkev August 7, 2016

        So real bosses never fall out of the top 10 after sizable first week sales or consistent sales for several months? If that was the case Thriller would still be in that chart! … I don’t know what you’ve seen, but if you’ve seen Bey on talk shows, or doing interviews, please call your boy here because I haven’t seen anything since the Formation tour earlier thi summer (and the BET awards)!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

      YES..U BETTER DRAG ROYALKEV!!!!!!!!!

      • Royalkev August 7, 2016

        Yes, we both know adele slays our faves. But twenty one pilots are on spotify and apple..the relevant streaming sites..not TIDAL.

      • Royalkev August 7, 2016

        That Twenty One Pilots album’s chart position has been fluctuating for months! It didn’t spend it’s entire 63 weeks inside the top 10! That happens! … and please show me ONE more example besides Adele of another artist selling damn near 10 million albums today (sitting in the top 10)?

      • blue August 7, 2016

        never asked why beyonce didnt sell 10mil im asking for you guys to look at adele who has sold sooo much and is this week still in the top 10
        or 21pilots who have sold almost as much as bey and a year later still in the top 10 even being available on all streaming sites.
        drake?

      Lol You f*** on this site are so disturbing. Honey go do something constructive with your time, you’re embarrassing yourself.

  19. Lana August 7, 2016

    I see a CERTAIN album, that has been hailed as “the greatest album of the decade” by some of its overzealous stans, has fallen out of the top 10 whilst multiple albums that have been out for either 6 months or a year are still perched in the top 5.

    I think I’ll save the laughter for a joke more significant. #OOPS.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

      WHY DID U LEVAE OUT THE PART THAT ON PURE SALES LEMONADE IS STILL OUTSELLING ANTI………..LMAO

    • Mr.StLaurent August 7, 2016

      The world as spoken !

      • GoGo Yubari August 9, 2016

        Wayment , I thought the Fleas said Itunes don’t count only BB? Ohhh I get it. Now that Beyonce is flopping on the Billboard Charts , Itunes is more reliable. LMAO! ok

  20. LB August 7, 2016

    How did the queen let her album be scalped on the BB200, how can the queen let that happen?

    • Usher up August 7, 2016

      Aren’t you the one with the Willy lynch syndrome..you poor thing.

  21. Chasing Time August 7, 2016

    I’m thinking Beyonce is going to do like Adele and release the album on all the streaming services soon. Especially with award season on the way. She was probably trying to milk pure sells as much as she could (which isn’t a bad idea) then once the album platoes, release to apple and Spotify.

  22. blue August 7, 2016

    rihanna and adele are beasts!!!!

    • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

      No Adele is a beast. Rihanna is not. Don’t try it.

      • blue August 7, 2016

        to me they both are, if you cant handle me having an opinion then do us all a fav and remove yourself from my reply section

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        Beasts can sell… REAL sales.. #FACTSONLY.

        do i have to explain to you how opinions work? i have one, you have one, a dog has one, guess which opinion i dont care about???? guess?

        hint: it aint mine and it aint the dogs

  23. LDN Chick August 7, 2016

    Rihanna stans bringing up Beyonce are weak. Her album is still selling more than most of those in the top 10? Weak.
    Anti still in the top 10 but hasn’t even sold half of Lemonade lol. All the matters when you look back is the sales.

  24. Stephy August 7, 2016

    Beyonka would still be in the top 5 if she would release her album on all streaming services. Anyways, congrats DJ Khaled

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      If, would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. The FACT is that it’s out of the top 10 and this era is dried up.

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

        NO IT HASN’T……….THE EMPTI TOUR HAS DRIED UP, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY FRIH CANNOT SELL OUT AN ARENA IN THE US DESPITE A NINE WEEK NO 1 SINGLE…LOL

    • blue August 7, 2016

      If she could she would’ve , but she can’t , so she shan’t

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

        No,…the album is 18 dollars, she is making more from pure sales than people streaming the album fro free on spotify. Bey know the real money is at touring, that is why she is placing most of her focus on that.

  25. Barb B**** August 7, 2016

    Lmao Navy is hilarious. Anti is a flop no they know it. The only thing they cling to now is streaming the MF IRONY. Lemonade ain’t no flop. And they better not come to me with ANYTHING about TPP.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        Look who is barking now. At least bark with receipts. Rihanna’s Tour is not doing that well. See the above.

      • blue August 7, 2016

        and still its on course to out gross her previous one… that in my opinion is doing great.

    • Keri Qween August 7, 2016

      Why does it matter? Isn’t it scalping Anti either way?

      • © Centurion ::. August 7, 2016

        DEATH! Not a Barb tho. Nicki’s ARENA tour grossed only $16 mllion. ? Has FlopPrint crossed 1 million in pure sales WW? And wasn’t Nicki’s Brother’s DNA found on the girl she rāpėd?

      • Barb B**** August 7, 2016

        Why are you even talking about Pure Sales when your fave is struggling to get em?

      • © Centurion ::. August 7, 2016

        What struggle? My fav gave away 1.4 million copies for free and still managed to sell over 1.7 million WW. Was the FlopPrint given away for free? Its been almost 2 YEARS. Has it passed 1 million in pure sales WW? ☕

      • Barb B**** August 7, 2016

        Jay Z did the same and still sold more than your Queen of pop.

      • © Centurion ::. August 7, 2016

        So you’re cling to Jay Z now? I’m SCREAMING. Nicki literally has nothing over Rihanna, except drug dealer and rāpist siblings. Why you trying it?

      • Barb B**** August 7, 2016

        Wasn’t Rihannas Dad an abusive drug dealer? Try again. Nicki has a raw talent which rapping. Where as your fave even has a song in her honor and the lyrics are ‘she can’t sing, she can’t dance, but who cares, she walks like RIhanna’.

  29. Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

    Now they’re cling to “when it goes on Spotify and the VMAs”. lol, just like when y’all said Sorry would chart high when it goes to Vevo. This is so great! The album still dropped out of the top 10 and Anti is STILL there. Some Queen, even Adele is back in the top 10.

    • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

      And Bey still wins. Outsold Outgrossed and Outpraised.

  30. Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

    Where is Lemonade in the top 10? I can’t find it. 🙂

  31. blue August 7, 2016

    do some people realise that this is the billboard 200, not the sales chart, not pollstar…. billboard 200? just wondering cause some people seem confused.

  32. LDN Chick August 7, 2016

    The FACTS are Lemonade has OUTSOLD Anti. Formation Tour has OUTGROSSED Anti. What is the drag?

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      Anti = 2.6M
      P#ss Juice = 2.2
      .
      Anti still wins. 🙂

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        Honey. Anti has sold 1.7 mill. The charts don’t include that other random number you added. Try again.
        Lemonade sales>>>>Anti
        Formation>>>>Anti 🙂

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) August 7, 2016

        yes the 1.4mil that the RIAA recognized

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        And Billboard doesn’t.

      BYE!!!!!!!

  34. LDN Chick August 7, 2016

    Fact Lemonade still outsold anti. And Formation has outgrossed anti. And we know which one will be scooping up more awards. That’s all that matters. Ding ding ding.

  35. LB August 7, 2016

    The hive just need to accept the fact that the music on Koolaid is stale and boring. She made sure to front-load the hell out of this album because even she knew it wasn’t good.

    Her masters at Sony wanted an album, she had to deliver, unfortunately she didn’t put too much thought into this one.

    • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

      Lemonade music has more critical acclaim than your fave could dream of so why does anyone need to accept your opinion.

      • LB August 7, 2016

        So why is nobody listening to it?

        I mean it dropped out of the top ten in a shorter time span than Anti which has less acclaim.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        Nobody listening to it according what exactly? Isn’t it still selling double anti is?

      • LB August 7, 2016

        Nobody is listening to it according to the Billboard charts which tracks what people are listening to.

        Anti, still in the top 10, Koolaid, out of the top ten.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        That’s analogy is stupid, I thought you were somewhat smart. 1) Anti is only in the top 10 because of streaming, of which her album can be streamed on more platforms than Lemonade so inevitable, 2) More people are still investing real money into Lemonade and it’s entire era than they are Anti so try again.

      • LB August 7, 2016

        Anti is only in the top 10 because of streaming, of which her album can be streamed on more platforms than Lemonade so inevitable


        So point proven, people are listening to Anti than they are listening to Kool-aid, hence Anti charting higher than Kool-aid.

        Anti has been streamed more than a billion times, hence people have listened to it more than a billion times and judging by the Billboard charts, are enjoying what they are listening to, hence them still listening to it.

        You tried to deflect from my original point, which is people are listening to Anti more than Kool-aid, and I provided a receipt, the BB200 charts.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        No your original point was that Lemonades music is stale and boring. Which is you OPINION not fact lol. You wrote that novel and said nothing. You’re basically arguing because more people can stream anti means Lemonades music is stale and boring.
        (Even though it’s still selling more and has got fave reviews). Sounds like stupidly to me… I thought you were smart. Oh well. I guess you’re just another dumb stan with their dumb theories.

      • LB August 7, 2016

        Yes Kool-aid music is stale and boring, hence more people listening to Anti than Kool-aid.

        Anti, more interesting, hence it charting higher than Kool-aid weeks after release.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        There are many great albums that have been streamed less than Anti doesn’t make them stale and boring. Wow. Quality of music isn’t based on steaming figures. If it was, why is Lemonade getting such great reviews? Oh wait… Let me guess your response. Because she paid for it. Dumb stan.

      • LB August 7, 2016

        Honey, the fact remains according to the BB200, more people are listening to Anti more than Kool-aid months after release.

        Kool-aid was front loaded and the fact that Rihanna, Drake and Adele can still chart in the top ten and Kool-aid can’t proves this.

        There are even more great albums that have better music than Kool-aid.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        Ok. But The fact remains all that and Lemonade has still sold more. Just like Formation Tour has grossed more. Lemonade has more acclaim and will be collecting more awards. So 1 era is clearly the winner no matter what spin you want to put on it.

      • LB August 7, 2016

        But the public likes Anti more, hence it having more hits and still charting in the top 10 of the BB200 months after release.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        And yet more people still investing their coin into Lemonade than anti. Yeah ok.

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      I told them day one that this era would be short. I knew they were bored when they were still talking about Rihanna a week after Bey’s album dropped. lol

      • LB August 7, 2016

        And their posts every time after has had Rihanna’s name in it.

        Other artists from Rihanna, to Drake to Adele have been able to get songs to chart on the Hot 100 as well as have their album do well on the BB200, the fact that Koolaid failed at one of those was the writing on the wall IMO, people were bored.

  36. Carmen August 7, 2016

    Rihanna is all smoke and mirrors if you ask me. She doesn’t have a talent and she can’t even sell anymore. Her fans need to get off their high horse she isn’t doing anything great. And Drake though I love that album!

    Are the hive still pressed about Samsung paying Rihanna for 1.4 million worth of albums, of which the revenue is going to Rihanna’s label she owns.

    Samsung could only do it with a big and marketable artist.

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      And artist that owns their music masters. Hint only Jay Z and Rihanna. Others lablel won’t let them and if so, they would take their 92% cut. Hahahahahaha

      • LB August 7, 2016

        LOL exactly, the integral part in the deal is the artist have to own their music, then they can dictate where and how it is released.

        Others have to wait for the stamp of approval and board meetings from their masters.

      • Barb B**** August 7, 2016

        Aww you upset about the clock? Just proved how fickle you all are. Without streams it would expose the floppage your fave has experienced worse than Gaga and Nicki which is why you’ve raced in to my reply section. The insecurities are real.

You’re trying to use this for your Navi hated streaming when Nicki did it, but now clinging, BUT this doesn’t prove that at all. But I like how you cut it to make it seem like it was.

      • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

        I’m waiting for the proof of me dissing streaming. I only made fun of Icky was when she jumped off the deepend saying the album sold 3 million and was double plat, but that was weeks before RIAA announced the new rules. So you STILL have no grounds. TPP is still a flop, has it sold 1 million WW yet? 🙂

      I swear the navy soooo STUPID!!! Rhianna’s album is on Spotify, tidal, and Apple Music. Beyoncé’s is not!!! Hence why Rihanna is still in the top ten of the bb200. If Beyonce releases her album to ALL streaming services, y’all would be having meltdowns!! She already set the streaming record for having the HIGHEST first week streaming numbers for a female! (Tidal only). Y’all want Beyoncé to fail so bad, but she keeps winning!! Y’all will deal! That’s why Ri only has 8 Grammys to Beyoncé’s 20! This is Beyonces world!! Get with it!!

    So much for her bragging about what a big mogul she is.

    • Mark111 /.\ August 7, 2016

      I mean her BOSS Lil Patsey has been crying on twitter for a whole year about lack of pay and contol. So if her BOSS not getting paid, what make you think his artist are? Drake is dropping albums left and right to break those slavery chains. Rihanna must have gave him some tips. lol

      • Keri Qween August 7, 2016

  45. Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

    The same arguments all the time. Lol.

    Beyonce sells more albums and sells out tours.

    Rihanna has more hits on the hot 100, and is a bigger streaming artist.

    They both have there pluses and minuses, and both have successful brands, so I don’t see why some people are so pressed.

    By the way Bouncy sold more actual albums and is on one streaming site, so I don’t know why anyone is surprised she’s not top 10 anymore. She still sold more! Lol.

    #Mess

  46. LB August 7, 2016

    And Rihanna have out 1.4 million worth of albums through a deal with Samsung, and she is still top ten months after release. Your point?

    Simple really, people like to listen more to Anti than Kool-aid, end of.

  47. Just Saying August 7, 2016

    Why are people trying to drag Lemonade? Hasn’t it sold way more than Anti and only available on like ONE streaming platform?

    Rihanna is more popular with free streams and single sales.

    Beyonce sells more concert seats and albums which means more money.

    They win in two separate ways..

    • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

      I know which one is more impressive.

      • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

        Lol. I guess it depends on what’s more important to the artist/fanbase.?

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy August 7, 2016

      Beyonce’s albums are front loaded, and her tours sell, because she’s been in the game for 20 years compared to 10. Although Beyonce, has had a career any artist would dream of having, she’s now the female Kanye and Rihanna could be analogized to Drake. One was first, but the other has better all around numbers. Sorrryyy, I ain’t sorry.

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        That’s SUCH a pathetic excuse. She sells your bevause she’s simply BETTER on stage and more slight after. Rihanna has a larger discography, easy enough to sell a tour. Diamonds world Tour sold out WAY more than Anti so why is she going downhill if it’s about how long you’ve been in the game?

      • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 7, 2016

        Except that I don’t see proof of how Rihanna sells more ‘all around numbers’ except with singles. Beyonce sells more albums which bring in more money.

        I’m glad Rih is winning with the new streaming rules, but also glad Beyonce is winning the old fashioned way with expensive albums, like the legends before her and Rih.

        #ItsAllGood

      • LDN Chick August 7, 2016

        And also Beyonces sales are front loaded yet she’s still selling more than anti currently so what’s your point?

  50. MsYonce August 7, 2016

    Lemonade like always sold more than Anti so what is the drag here? That Anti is charting higher because of streams I mean Bey is still selling which is all that matters. Lemonade is only on one streaming site what do y’all expect tho

  51. MsYonce August 7, 2016

    Lemonade is still selling which is all that matters to me slay Yonce

  52. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade August 7, 2016

    Formation world tour grossed more with 25 because it’s a stadium tour while anti world tour it’s an arena for the us and stadium for europe
    So of course Formation world tour will gross more.
    Beyoncé Win but Rihanna Win too.
    I don’t know why the hive need to say Beyoncé it’s better when they both are different artist with different style,voice,goals and win in different fields.
    Why both can win ? It’s so stupid to take Rih as a threat and treat her like this.
    If yall need to hear/read Beyonce is better than Rihanna then you got it .
    Hope you will sleep tight with that .
    But at the end of the day Rihanna still win and Beyoncé too .

    • LDN Chick August 8, 2016

      What? A tour is a tour stop making excuses for it flopping.

  53. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade August 7, 2016

    Even Jesus have some people who don’t like him.
    Deal with it
    Not everyone try to make a competetion in this life
    Both are enjoying what they do and have people that support them
    That free hate its uncessary knowing some people will still enjoy Rih over Bey.

    Beyonce’s current status reminds me of Madonna and Mariah’s. At this point, regardless of the title ‘Queen’ her Hits are far and wide inbetween, even her album sales are barely ‘Queen-worthy’ …all she has are her tour numbers. Madonna is pretty much in the same boat, all her singles hardly impact the charts but are tour numbers are monstrous. Makes u wonder.

  58. FarahJ August 8, 2016
