Sittin' pretty on top of the CN Tower. Iconic imagery and makes me miss Toronto. Side note: the bar at the top is pretty sweet.

So a few of the leaks made it onto the album like Faithful with Pimp C and Controlla with PopCaan. The first listen of the album will be tomorrow during OVO Sounds before the album will be made available at midnight.

I'm hoping he has some dope features. IYRTITL was cool as a mostly solo effort but all of his previous albums had great collaborations.

I hope none of the tracks he released are on the album especially hotline bling. I couldn't see them not putting that song on the album, even if just as a bonus cut. ;)

Well, that is fine lol. 20 tracks is good. Granted quality over quantity and one is an interlude (maybe freestyle?) but 20 sseems like a nice amount. When you remove pop style and hotline and the leaks, still got a good, what, 13 or so tracks no one has heard yet? so that's great in my eyes.

When is it gonna be released? Shouldn't it be on iTunes in other parts of the world shortly? I was hoping I could listen before work this afternoon but idk. haha. So no physical release then for awhile? bummer.
Does anyone have a list of the leaks/official singles/soundcloud from the past year or so that's he has put out? I only listened to a handful of songs because I wanted to be surprised lol and didnt know when he would release and what he would include.

I thought it was premiering on Beats 1 before iTunes. Either way, I am getting tired of these exclusives. I hate bootlegging artist's music, especially if it's an artist that I love, but I will be damned if I sit idly while everyone else gets to listen to shit. I will always support a physical release (if one is created) but I guess I will have to download View from a blog until he decides to release it in CD form.

Thanks for the clarification! It feels great to be a Apple Music customer have an internet connection right about now. Cannot wait for this album

I get that, but why? I didn't know it was a universal world wide launch. All other Friday singles are already all over the internet.

Apparently there is no confirmation it will be called just Views now either. Websites are reporting it just sounded easier to say. so who knows. im really curious about the features on here. I hope he has some good surprises. I'd like to see a big A-list surprise on there, someone from outside the rap world. And how fucking amazing would it be if Adele appeared? Remember when they both admired Hello/Hotline bling? and there were rumors of them doing a remix? Even if HOtline Bling was an adele remix I'd flip haha

www.people.com/article/drake-responds-adele-hotline-bling-remix-will-do-laundryDrake responded Wednesday night to Adele's request to collaborate on a "Hotline Bling" remix, and it sure seems like he said yes. At the very least, he agreed to do chores for her. “I'd do anything with Adele," the rapper, 29, told reporters in Toronto. "I'd literally go to Adele's house right now and do laundry for her.” "I really want us to do an official remix. I love Drake. I love Drake so much," Adele said. "I even got the coat that's in the video, I got it delivered the other day, I ordered it. The red one," the 27-year-old singer added. LIKE, PLEASEEEEEEEE

OK, I get that you're excited but...could you maybe use the edit feature to add on to your original post, since there are rules against double posting, let alone triple posting...especially since the last post is old news.

Anyway... Still can't decide if I want to see this tour or not. I just saw Future in Denver on the 20th. I get why they are touring together, I just don't have a particular need, want, or desire to see Future again. I've seen Drake 2x and he was pretty good but pretty de facto for a rap show, which isn't really saying much. A coworker says he and his wife might go to Philly to see him because it will be cheaper. By cheaper, they mean $200 for floor seats.

www.forbes.com/sites/garysuarez/2016/04/28/drake-views-from-the-six-track-listing/#4fcfb91c5656How Drake's 'Views' Track Listing Guarantees Him A Platinum Plaqueby Gary Suarez , CONTRIBUTOR I write about music, the music business, and related topics / trends. With Drake fans anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new album Views, the announcement of its official track listing via the artist’s Twitter account brought that anticipation to a fever pitch. With the album due to premiere today via Apple’s Beats 1 program, it will assuredly exist as an Apple Music / iTunes exclusive for at least some period of time. Such was this case with last year’s Future collaboration What A Time To Be Alive, which stayed on the company’s proprietary streaming and download services for a full week before spreading to Spotify, Amazon, and other platforms. Regardless of platform exclusivity or pricing decisions, the Views track list reveals a shrewd release strategy that guarantees it will be one of his most successful albums to date. This past February, the Recording Industry Association of America announced changes to the methodology behind gold, platinum, multi-platinum, and diamond award certifications for albums. The new rules give streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify a significant role in the determination of an album’s sales performance, with 1,500 on-demand song streams in the United States holding the same value as 10 individual track sales or 1 full album sale. (Streams and sales that occur outside of the United States are not factored into RIAA certification.) The benefits for rap albums came swiftly, with artists like Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, and Nicki Minaj earning fresh certifications in the first two weeks. For an artist like Drake, for whom a new song release can generate millions of streams per day, the revised RIAA model assures him that Views will quickly achieve a platinum plaque. Using the RIAA’s model, 1,500,000 streams of an individual Drake song in the United States is the equivalent of 1,000 actual album sales. At 20 tracks long, that adds up to some potentially huge numbers for Views that would not have been factored into the award certification math prior to this year. Views‘ tracklisting truly games the revised RIAA gold and platinum system by exploiting how the organization now factors in the streaming performance of pre-release songs following an album’s release. On just Spotify alone, recently released singles “One Dance” and “Pop Style” have amassed 67 million and 18 million global plays, respectively. Upon Views‘ release, any of those plays that occurred in the United States will apply not only to those songs’ qualifications towards RIAA digital single certifications, but towards the album certification as well. By the RIAA’s new methodology, that amounts to potentially tens of thousands of applicable and attributable sales the second Views drops, though notably it won’t factor into its placement on Billboard’s album charts. Furthermore, the inclusion of 2015 single “Hotline Bling” as a bonus track could send Views‘ RIAA numbers skyrocketing. With well over 400 million Spotify streams worldwide and close to 700 million official YouTube plays globally on Drake’s Vevo channel, this aging hit could be the infusion that sends Views well on its way to multi-platinum status before year’s end. The Views track listing is as follows: “Keep the Family Close” “9″ “U with Me?” “Feel No Ways” “Hype” “Weston Road Flows” “Redemption” “With You” “Faithful” “Still Here” “Controlla” “One Dance” “Grammys” “Child’s Play” “Pop Style” “Too Good” “Summers Over Interlude” “Fire & Desire” “Views” “Hotline Bling” Correction: In determining award certifications, the RIAA solely counts sales, downloads, and streaming activity in the United States. Worldwide performance outside of the U.S. on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, and other platforms is not counted. This article has been updated to reflect that. Global streaming numbers for “Hotline Bling” on Spotify and YouTube have also been updated.

It wouldn't be an exclusive premier deal if it debuted in another country and leaked all over the Internet prior to the premier. He did it this way so he could make bank from Apple paying him for the exclusive. This is very basic stuff.
