‘No’ singer Meghan Trainor heard exactly that from fans of Drake and Beyonce as she was blocked from #1 on this week’s refreshed Billboard 200.
Originally believed to be the week’s top contender for the tally’s perch, as reported here, ‘Thank You’ – Trainor’s sophomore album – missed the top 2 due to equivalent album sales of 107,000 (nearly 90,000 less than her debut album). Drizzy, on the other hand, holds tight to the top spot for yet another week after moving equivalent album units of 239,000 (83,000 actual sales) followed by Bey’s 128,000 (92,000 actual sales).
Keen to see where all of your other favorites landed on this week’s album charts? It all awaits below:

Who didn’t know this was gonna happen? I’m sad to say that Ariana’s #1 albums streak will come to an end soon. You just can’t beat the power of black artists that make great music. That’s just how it is.
…and “Anti” is STILL in the top 5. What kind of slayage? I swear I really see the album being certified triple platinum. Can’t wait for it to clock “Prism’s” streaming record.
Good nothing against Trainor but she got clocked and blocked oh well the three biggest black artist on top look at baby anti lawd rih this made my day very happy for drake and bey it shows their fans ain’t playing gone are the days look at Justin number one song fell so hard
Drake is king!
Embarrassing! Especially after both albums have been out for practically a month lmao! Anyway nice try at least you didn’t debut at #27 at #460 copies ????????
Drake Bey Rih…I just have to say though Anti is just so refreshing…still the same old shtick from hum…and I shall leave it at that.
Everyone please ignore hailbeysus she is a cockroach that crawls into people’s lives peasant nothing but hate for rih be gone parasite I rebuke you in the name of all the cockroach sprays
Drake Bey Rih…I just have to say though Anti is just so refreshing…Drake could do better. … still the same old shtick from him …and I shall leave it at that.
Damn Anti, back at it again in the top 5. Flop where?
In other news…

.
Congratulations Rihanna, Drake and Beyoncé. 😉 😉 😉
Yes! I love how you stay with the receipts in possession. Gotta respect the fact that you can be unbiased in presenting stats for other artists correctly, other than Rih. Love it!
Yasss bring the receipts sis
Beyonce is really lucky Drake didn’t drop a week earlier or her lil streak would had ended. Lol Poor thing only has her circus to depend on.
That would have been a cute battle!
But she’s still SELLING more than him in her 4TH week and his 3rd? So what are you saying?
You need to give Beyonce credit and stop the foolishness you starting to become hailbeysus hating people for no reason but even I can give respect to her when will we see another slayage by a black woman Rihanna came and carrying the torch from what see these are the only two black women even though people want to divide them in the media
Selling 500K after giving out 1.4 million albums is really impressive. I don’t see many artist doing that.
Exactly.
I’m proud of rih and navy she releasing sunglasses with dior rih needs to start her own clothing empire she making money for,these companies I see her the next Victoria Beckham I wanted one of those slippers monolos creepers and could not find any but end up getting the fenty I need those sunglasses hope I can get one
It sure is
Where’d the 0.4 come from? Lol
I just wanna also take the time to address a concern about Bey’s MET Gala makeup. Why does everyone on social media keep saying that it was messy, cheap, and just rushed? She STILL looked good, and she doesn’t need much makeup like those other basic Betty’s, so what’s the darn issue? Goodness! And nothing was wrong with her hair’s closure. I swear people just look for attention.
YTD ALBUMS SPS – 2016 (USA):
1. Views: 1,352,000
.
2. Lemonade: 1,176,000
.
3. Anti: 1,077,000
.
😉
Would you happen to know the pure sales tally for Views and Lemonade? I haven’t been keeping track
Views – 1,110,000
Lemonade – 926,000
What about pure album sales, do you have that?
Wow very proud of rih she always have slow start to her albums but baby girl always manage to slay
Lemonade has legs because allot of the mainstream is still discovering it… It’s gonna have a second wave of sales when it’s released universally allot of older people or those who don’t use apple don’t even know about the album yet ….. Views was honestly disappointing but kudos to Drizzy… These white artist get all the promo & budget & still can’t win these black artist are hustling & it’s paying off. Black artist don’t need radio because we drive pop culture what we do is always watched… i told this white guy black people don’t listen to radio anymore because it’s not for us …
Funny, when certain artists don’t sell, it’s cause they’re black. If they do, it’s cause they’re black als well? And white people get all the promo and budget? Good to know that bey and drake had no promo or budget…i mean the superbowl is not counted as promo, isn’t it? A movie on tv as well aus pictures all over time square isn’t either, or?
And isn’t lemonade already available universally?
let me guess youre either non black poc or youre white which one
so true. black people are at the center of pop/hiphop culture. everything we do is imitated and recycled. u see how OMI had a reggae island pop hit then all of a sudden bieber recorded sorry? white people are irritating because they live everyday completely ignoring this until POC bring it up THEN they wanna argue but only ever argue to defend themselves. they try to make it seems like people are blaming all white people and thats not the case. the truth of the matter is that the mainstream media is flat out racist because of executives and higher ups that pull strings.
Some of you have hate in your heart…. It’s very tiresome. probably stay in a damn Trap house talking about what celebrity has this & that all day…?? Sam F** it! I can’t anymore bro
lol just what i be talmbout

Im getting my life at he EGG on the SLAVI’S AND Z-LISTERS faces saying she couldn’t sell a Stadium Tour Solo and that she was struggling to SELL the stadiums!!! Hahahahahah!!!
Both ladies are slaying per usual why cant we just leave it at that? Lol
Hailbeysesus go eat s*** your snide remarks at rih is tiresome get a life
People like you give your own black Americans a bad name you hate on your own people a true troll you are very pathetic and the sad part is that you are know better than Wendy Williams and azalea it’s call self hate other races are happy for each other success I feel sorry for your ass I guess you mad at rih and drake for coming to America took your job made success of themselves is that’s what killing you the mere fact of two foreign people get over it maggot this country is built on emigrants
lol fatdel
SHE not touching Madonna record
Madonna is the Queen of touring. FLOPonce can take that unsweetened Limeade somewhere else
Sure about that? She has yet o announce a Asain leg for the tour, rumors are circulating that she’s getting ready to announce Australian and New Zealand dates. Oh and let’s not forget she hasn’t announced a South America leg for the tour yet. Also she was expected to do $250 million from 39 dates but since than has added several more dates. PS. If Rose Bowl could gross $7.8m from 50k in attendance imagine the number for O2 Stadium date in the UK where she sold 90k tickets. She’s coming AND YOU WILL DEAL!!!
I think the biggest hit off that album is ‘NO’ but let’s be honest, that song is dated as hell. It sounds like something I would have heard in the very early 2000s. Drake’s slayage on the BB200 is real. Both in pure sales and SPS he’s slaughtering all competition right now.
Pure sales Beyonce outsold Drake this week lol. But i agree with everything else.
I meant the total tally of pure sales not just week by week
i thought the EXACT same thing its not a bad song it just sounds like a destinys child demo from survivor its a fake anthem.
Big congrats to Bey, Drake, and Rih. An even bigger congrats to Bey for her tour, pure slayage!
This streaming nonsense really distorts things. Pure album sales should be all that’s taken into consideration.
I agree, it’s ridiculous
Don’t agree. It’s just keeping up with Times. Sales will decline furthermore as people are using streaming. And they consume music via streaming, so it needs to be counted. we’re in 2016, thats just the way it is
If bey is not nominated for album of the year I’m gonna be highly irritated
If am reading right Beyoncé should be number because of pure sales?
If am reading right Beyoncé should be number #1 because of pure sales?! Drake albums should be considered more popular off steaming..
Billboard should not combine streaming with pure sales… They can separate or make a new Category. Still have albums sales & make a new chart that count toward steaming
There should be a separate chart that incorporates or is just dedicated to streaming. It shouldn’t be counted for the main Billboard 200
3 of that top 5 will be chilling there probably next week also.
I hope Bey actually start separating the videos and push a singles run. Would be cool if she released Sorry while Queen Serena slays in the French Open. Picking singles to stretch the era will actually make the album sell a bit more also.
Rihanna Billboard vocal performance with boost her sales some more also.
black people are so of them self…only them want to be winning other race up there they all just hating
if black people are full of ourselves then what are the rest of the world made of? s.hit. im tired of black people being the b*** of peoples frustration meanwhile no one says s.hit about what white people are doin.
This is America, where my great grandmother’s mom was a s****. Not THAT long ago, I barely missed meeting her before she passed. To be stripped of our dignity until this very day (very subtle in comparison to slavery days aka psychological warfare) so hell yes we have pride in our people’s success!!!
Now, to down the next successful artist just cuz they’re non-black or just cause they’re white I do disagree with. However, a white man’s success and a black man’s success are attained differently.
adele don sell out beyonce
the only reason lemonade isnt selling hardcore is because white people and non black poc literally dont know how to enjoy anything black people do without feeling like theyre a part of it or they wont support it.
1989 is at number 26 in the charts! Still going stromg after being released in October of 2014!
Nice
