What's the record?

[iHype.]

Vanilla Ice & MC Hammer have the most consecutive weeks for a Rap album, both of them set it back in 1990. (Drake isn't breaking it, their albums spent like 20 weeks at #1)

But if Drake gets this week he ties Eminem's "Eminem Show" in 2000 with 8 weeks. Then ofcourse, he has next week on lock so he passes Eminem.

He'll have the most consecutive weeks at #1 for a Rap album since 1990, most consecutive for a Rap album in Soundscan era (1991-present), and the 3rd most consecutive weeks for a Rap album ever.

And once he gets the 9th week, that's the longest a male album has spent consecutively of any genre since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992 w/ 17 weeks at #1.

So clearly his label wants to get this week so they can flaunt those achievements.

Q should be his next threat in dethroning him right

His last album did 140k

Maxwell releases July 1st, and his last album from 2009 did 316K first week. But I don't think he'll beat Drake. His current single is #1 on Urban AC, but it isn't even charting Top 1,500 on iTunes.

Q is July 8th, and will probably dethrone him. He'll have good streams too since he's a Rapper.

Other than that, there's really no other threats for Drake until mid-August.

BLACKsummers'night had "Pretty Wings" which was MASSIVE. I suck at predicting stuff but I'd be surprised if Maxwell opens with 100K+.

Aren't all records nowadays seen from start of SoundScan Era?

After next week, anyways consecutive weeks won't matter much. Or Drake could discount it on that week too. But blink seems to be doing well in streaming

Why does it bother people that someone discounted their successful album? If you have it, I can see how it's upsetting but if you stream it or have no desire to purchase it, then read a book and find something else to stress about. Simple.

I'm so proud of Drake

This. Plus its more of a gift to fans after not doing meet and greets tbh..it's not like he is desperate to sell records lol he already sold bucket loads and would of sold great with or without the discount.

oh no I hope he debuts at #1. Lake By The Ocean is simply one of the best songs of the year. Easy top5

Yikes @ that album discount. Reeks of desperation.

It's a one day discount.

It's just to get an 8th week at #1. I don't understand why one fanbase in particular is so mad over it especially if they aren't a fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
