Drake‘s latest album’s, ‘Views,’ will still be enjoying the view from the top of the Billboard 200 next week, according to reports.

Fending off stiff competition from the likes of country star Blake Shelton, the Canadian rapper’s biggest threat of dethronement came from ‘Dangerous Woman’ – the highly anticipated third album from Ariana Grande.

Featuring the top 10 hit ‘Dangerous Woman’ (the song) and guest appearances from Drake’s own ‘Young Money’ labelmates Lil’ Wayne and Nicki Minaj, it appears (as of time reporting) not even their help will be enough to help Grande maintain her #1 streak (as her first two projects – ‘My Everything’ and ‘Yours Truly’ both debuted atop the album charts).
