The element of surprise was one ever-present in the latest project cycle for serial hitmaker Drake.

Just two weeks after making history for seeing the third single of his career, ‘Toosie Slide,’ debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (click here to read more), the GRAMMY winner announced its parent project – the ‘Dark Lane Demo Tapes’ mixtape – would be released.

Usually a shoo-in for the top spot on the Billboard 200, his unexpected release placed him in one of the most heated races to the tally’s summit in recent memory as Country titan Kenny Chesney also unveiled his latest effort in the same time window.

Now, after a week of back-and-forth predictions that were “too close to call,” final figures unveiled the other element of surprise; Chesney narrowly crowned the chart champion over Drake.
