Most 100k+ sales weeks for albums released 2014-now:
Adele, Taylor 11
Pentatonix 8
Bieber 5
Bey, One Direction, J Cole 3
Increases my hunch that Bieber will pull off that aoty nom despite most not seeming to see it for him.
Interestingly, at the time of Grammy voting the non-nominees 1D/Cole/Pentatonix only spent 6-8 weeks altogether in the sales T10 so didn't seem to have much in the way of longevity...
I don't think that any of them has a #1 single atm, or any radio play. Drake' sales should be way more stable than that
...Which is why none of them did 850K first week.
His higher power and relevance in 2016 is reflected in the first week sales. However, Rap as a whole still has higher drops than average in the following weeks, which was pointed out by illustrating all those top-name rappers having similar drops with completely different sales.

None of the rappers that you listed are as big as him and none of them receives as much radio support (I can't think of anyone this decade who actually does). I know damn well that rap albums usually drop faster but I would have expected him to do way better than this past his first week. He's the biggest hitmaker out of any current rapper
