Despite a midweek challenge from Beyoncé, Drake's Views has pipped Lemonade to the post by just under 800 copies.It is the second non-consecutive week at Number 1 for the Canadian's fourth studio album, and helps him score a singles and albums chart double for the second time.
Now available on all streaming services, Views has broken Lemonade's record of most sales equivalent streams for a Number 1 album in a single week, amassing 12,000 in total. However, the highest ever one week total belongs to Justin Bieber's Number 2-peaking Purpose, which mustered 20,000 sales equivalent streams in its second week of release in November.
Beyoncé's Lemonade settles for this week's Number 2, up one place from last week and Norwegian DJ Kygo is this week's highest new entry at 3 with Cloud Nine. Last week's Number 1 from Radiohead, A Moon Shaped Pool is at Number 4 and the Top 5 is rounded out by Meghan Trainor's new album Thank You (5).
Prince's The Hits 1 rises nine places to this week's 11 while Justin Bieber's Purpose falls from the Top 10 for the first time after 26 weeks in the top flight (12).
Bey and Drake killing the game.
Great position for Kygo. Rih so stable despite new releases.
