As reported here, Young Money hitmaker Drake keeps a tight hold on the Billboard 200 for yet another week with his latest album ‘Views.’
Fending off the highly anticipated new release from Gucci Mane, Drizzy’s project – fueled primarily by massive streaming figures – earned its 12th nonconsecutive week atop the tally this week.
[Drake’s Views] earns another 85,000 equivalent album units (down 5 percent) in the week ending July 28, according to Nielsen Music.
Trailing Drake on the latest Billboard 200 at No. 2 is Gucci Mane’s Everybody Looking, which debuts in the runner-up slot with 68,000 units (of which, 43,000 are in traditional album sales).

Drake and Rihanna stay winning…
Anti ????????????????????
Shocked by Antis longevity. Thought it would be out of top 20 by now.
I am shocked too. Good for Rihanna! #blackgirlmagic
It´s only streaming. Look at the sales. As always, pushing 7 singles one after the other down people´s throats for months usually makes her stay somewhere there for all those months. But that´s it. Real interest is not there. Any “big” name with a long running #1 song and more singles after it would have sold pretty big, and not just 500k after so many months. She would be nothing without the singles ready for the masses. Remember last year when they had to cancel the project cause she wasn´t releasing the right and “easy” singles.
Sales+Streaming!
It sold 500k because the album was given for free.Streaming proves that people are listening to the album.Anti is fine.What happened to Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani, 5th Harmony etc? They should be in the top 5 spot with streams if it’s that easy.No shade to the other girls but Anti is doing better than them when it comes to sales too.
I know it´s sales + streaming LOL Not retarded unlike many Rihanna fans in this blog. The point is she´s been able to have an era at all this go around thanks to the new streaming rules. Without it Work would have barely stayed at #1 and without that her album wouldn´t have been in the top 10 since release. Remember last year when her project had to be cancelled when they tried a more mature route? LOL Yep, that´s where she´s at. Pushing singles which are successful in nowadays streaming media will only last for a while. She´ll have nothing after that is finally gone. You have the proof in last year.
Not surprised. Drakiesha’s ” one dances” stays in rotation on the daily. Good for him. Also, kudos to lenonade for maintanin. it top ten position. That lady awesome!
Maintain? Its about to fall out of top 10 lmao
I looked for Keri ” beeek nose” Hilson on that chart and she’s nowhere to be found. Looks like that BXXtCH is as irrelevant as her career. Now… STFU and stay in your loser corner. Thanks. ??
Does Scary Hilson know what having a top ten Billboard 200 album is like?
@baddiebeythethief You sound foolish when she doesnt have any material out lmao. The losers corner is at the bottom of the Hot 100 with Sorry.
@janyoncé but she DOES ugly
Listen @scary queen, even if Kerri Hilson’s had new music out, she’s still be at the very bottom of the chart right next to the dumbster you call a home. ???? Bottome line Kerri will ever be as relevant or successful as YONCE! Goodbye Bish.
‘Lemonade’ obviously deserves credit for maintaining a 3 and a half months stay in the BB200 with pure sales. It’s not on most streaming outlets, so staying on this chart for so long (while being at a disadvantage) is a great accomplishment for Bey.
This is what BB top sales look like this week:
http://www.billboard.com/charts/top-album-sales
But arent other albums disadvantaged on that chart by being on streaming services?? Both side of the coin.
How? It seems like more of a help?
If people can stream the album for less as much as they want, why buy it?
Kool-Aid is only still in the top 10 because of the added streaming. So the pure sales BS can rest.
Streaming still is a help because that’s apart of Billboard’s calculations for it’s weekly ranking. An album selling 3 million units can place below an album selling a third of that depending upon it’s availability to streaming services. Again, as far as the charts are concerned, it’s a help! My thing with ‘Lemonade’, is that I’d personally rather see it reach multi-platinum status in pure sales, than see it benefit from peaking higher (or staying inside the top ten longer) due to mainly streams while only obtaining platinum pure sales.
You were talking about he sales chart.
We were talking about streaming on the BB200 chart.
I started out mentioning how ‘Lemonade’ deserved credit for maintaining a 3 1/2 months stay in the BB2000 with pure sales and how it was at a disadvantage because it’s wasn’t on most streaming outlets. Your first comment directed at me questioned if albums that were being streamed also at a disadvantage on the BB200.
My main point was that, even if streamed albums don’t produce actual sales, it still may not hurt it’s charting performance. High selling albums without major streams may not have the same fate on today’s chart.
you were talking about how lemonade deserved credit for maintaining its high position on the sales chart and i just pointed out that other albums that were released to streaming services where at an equally disadvantage as beyonce was on the bb200, sorry if i didnt make that clear.
“Lemonade for maintaining it’s top ten position”
Lemonade still number one to me no matter what the chart say ☺️
Aww, reality is hard to take in? Hahahaha
??
Naw….The reality is BEYonce’s tour is outselling Rhigoat’s booooring weak A** tour. Plus, she’s still 200 million dollar wealthier than RHITRASH. ISLAND Cvm Swallower will forever be Beyonce’s peasant. Kiiiii?
I heard it’s really hard for mark111 to tighten his boooty hole still after trying for years of procedures. I’d rather have Beyonce’s reality at this point.
Typical hives, using tour and her money to drag Rihanna. Meanwhile, the album and singles are tanking down the charts.

Anti built a home on the top 10 and refuse to leave. I see someone is on their way out the top 10.
It’s out.Drake snatched her bald.
http://m.hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming
How many streaming services is Rihanna’s Anti on, because those streams are helping her flop era, pure sales aside.
I mean…pure sales she sold 500000 copies. So she wasn’t gonna flop either way. Plus the only reason get album went platinum is because she got over a million people to buy that phone. That phone costed more than her album. Do I really have to spell all this out to you or do you get what I’m trying to tell you?
Stop lying sis, she has yet to cross the 500 000 mark
Honey, why are you so pressed. You stay fuming on this site, and are beyond rude. You’ll sexual frustration is showing. Lighten up, and come out of the closet you self hating f**. Good night.
Your
Your ass still mad at rih album sales do you really think she cares about your opinion stfu so what if 1 million bought it through Samsung or given away for free why you hating
@Dïckface 500,000 in pure sales after nearly 7 months is a damn flop you racist dumbass ??? , Bey did that in less than 2 weeks, so yes, streaming is saving Rihanna’s ass! ?????
Your life is a flop rih made 75 million in one year the flop word should not be used out your mouth girl bye
How is this era a flop when rih made more money than your fav who suppose to be selling better than her in Australia according to fan king bey lousy analysis the post is about drake yall hating welfare b****** have the need to bring up flop era rih stays winning the numbers shows in her pocket gtfoh
14 Weeks in the top 10 in US and Australia with pure sales. 13 Weeks in UK top ten w/o a single top ten. While another album left Australian Chart and never returned. Australians love Katy, Pink, Taylor and Adele. The only black woman album that’s currently charting so well is Lemonade. Another artist is struggling despite being called the Most Global Superstar. Oh well, the slavi loves hyping her so much. Most anticipated album of 2016 barely passed 500k sales. While the non anticipated album of 2016 Lemonade sold 1 mil++. Talking about hype.
B**** we know you trying to come for rih and she is global what is your point those other whores are not in the league as her and the only one you single out cannot get a number one in her own birth country to save her life not one of these b****** dominanting everything ask robin Rihanna Fenty fashion icon
For a woman who is worth almost 300million for you to call struggling tells me you are dumb stupid and blind
Rhigoat’s Networth is not almost 300millon?…. You must be high from the same crack your fav snorts!?
After Anti Era and tour it will definitely be close to that 300 million lol
Awesome
Poor Stinkhive.
Their fave is nothing more than a dumb c*** with an ugly ass kid
This is a joke. He´s not making any type of impact with this album and it is not memorable or anything and it´s not like his final numbers will be stunning once the era is over. So there´s no correlation between the number of weeks on top and the true success of the album. It is just that there are almost no big names anymore so competition is almost nonexistent. Just that.
Last albums which proved to deserve the big amount of weeks at #1 sales wise in many years have been Adele´s last two albums. No other. Well, and sadly the Taylor Swift albums too, which despite of being mediocre just like her, have sold pretty big amounts of copies all those weeks they were on top.
Self- Titled sold 1.3 Mil in 3 Weeks. I wonder this 12 weeks number one album achieved that?
Exactly. I don´t think Beyonce´s albums are the biggest example one can think about anyway, but yeah you got my point. No album nowadays really except for the two last Adele ones really. But seriously. If you take the chart of the albums with most weeks at number one… those albums SOLD BIG and made legendary impacts, most of them. This is a streaming joke. That´s what it is. And this music of his will obviously not be hailed in future decades or anything, as these many weeks at #1 could suggest.
Congrats to Rihanna and Drake for holding down the top 5 spot.Anti was given for free yet still remains in the top 10, longevity! Did yonce buy her own album? I don’t see anyone listening to that mess.In my town, all I hear is Work, Work, Work and Needed Me.
Did Yonce buy her own albums? It’s still selling love!

Beyonce did 26K this week, but only 17K was from “pure” sales. That boring LP is only in the the top 10 at 9 because of the forbidden streaming. R.I.P to the pure sales excuse.
How much is pANTI doing in “pure sales” sis? Remember that 9K streaming sales were solely from Tidal, which isn’t even the top streaming platform, and yet Yoncé has still outsold your faves album sales?????
Dear Mark, your favorite debuted with 40k in the 90’s when casettes still existed. While your another fav drop to 40k n its second week. And yet you laughed at 17k in it’s 14th week? Let me remind you again, it’s a 17.99 album with no hit singles. PS. Lemonade spent its 15th consecutive weeks in the top ten in Australia. Hopefully, when the tour comes it will push this album to multi platinum.
She debuted with 40k but that same project went multi platinum and sold just as much as her contemporaries. Aaliyah was no flop and tied in the end of the top 5 females of 94-95 so wyd babes ?
[PURE SALES]
Rihanna – 500,000K – 6+ months
Beyonce – 500,000k+ – 2 weeks
?????

But by all means the SLAVI can continue to cling to chart positions. pANTI is not going to catch up to Lemonades pure sales any time soon. When are the Nazi going to realise Yoncé doesn’t care about the charts, she cares solely about the MONEY and mama stays bookedT!
It´s appalling that they keep trying to come for an album which has outsold Rihanna´s album by such a big margin and in such short period (which proves true selling power and your fans anticipating your work…vs none of that). Rihanna only survives due to her team always being focused on getting teh right single shoved down people´s throats. Her music has never been anticipated. Numbers prove it.
anti platinum in one day…….rest is history
#5 RIHANNA – ANTI
#9BEYONCE – LEMONADE
GUESS WHICH ONE HAS BEEN OUT LONGER?
HINT: no one seems to want to drink it!
Are you belligerent or just plain stupid? My comment was about pure sales, not current chart positions or certifications you big dummy. You were whining before about how I wasn’t specific enough in my previous comments, and yet you’re still here talking about something completely different then what I posted – which makes me think that you’re missing a few screws 😆 .
U were comparing the two albumd and taking only into consideration one component that is used to determine how successful an album is, so as to make your fav look good. Yes bey sold more in pure sales but that is nust k e aspect and desnt tell the whole truth. And i can arfue that of the two itd the most successful.
LMFAOO!! @Blue what happened to you babe?!!! You used to be one of the clever commentators, and now you can barely form a sentence. You are also only taking into consideration one small component that is used to measure an album’s success which is chart positions. Chart positions are unpredictable and can change at any time. But PHYSICAL PURE album sales don’t lie! check the resumé boo boo!
I actually mentioned more than one component, chart positions, certifications, longevity and popularity. You just brought up sales.
SCREAMING @ Toiletmade being about to drop outta the Billboard 200. It’s only been 3 months tho. LMFAOOO! Queen of front loaded sales. ?????
