Drake's 'Views' Spends Eighth Week in a Row at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Drake’s Views continues to reign atop the Billboard 200 chart, as the set spends an eighth consecutive week at No. 1. The album debuted in the penthouse, and has yet to depart the No. 1 slot. In the week ending June 23, it earned another 124,000 equivalent album units (up 2 percent). Of that sum, 33,000 were in pure album sales (up 25 percent).

Nick Jonas Debuts at No. 2 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart, Drake's 'Views' Steady at No. 1

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new July 9-dated chart (where Views is No. 1 for an eighth week) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, June 28.

Views’ popularity is still driven largely by the streams of its tracks, as its SEA units for the week totaled 70,000. (In turn, that number equates to 105.1 million streams for the songs on the album -- as each SEA unit is equal to 1,500 streams.)

Still, Views earned a significant sales gain -- its first weekly sales increase -- thanks to sale pricing of the album at digital retailers late in the tracking week. At sellers like iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Google Play, the album’s price was lowered to $6.99. (It was a promotion Drake’s record label, Republic Records, advertised via Twitter.)

With an eighth week at No. 1, Views has the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a man since 2000, when Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP also earned eight weeks (all consecutive) at No. 1 (charts dated June 10-July 29, 2000). The last album to spend at least eight weeks at No. 1 was Adele’s 25 in late 2015 and early 2016, with 10 nonconsecutive frames atop the list.


Views has the most consecutive weeks at No. 1 by any album since the Frozen soundtrack racked eight straight weeks (out of its 13 total at No. 1) between March 29 and May 17, 2014.

Views is also just the fourth hip-hop album to spend at least eight weeks at No. 1. It joins The Marshall Mathers LP, Vanilla Ice’s To the Extreme (16 weeks in 1990 and 1991) and M.C. Hammer’s Please Hammer Don’t Hurt 'Em (21 weeks in 1990).

Views steps ahead of the following hip-hop efforts with seven weeks at No. 1: Beastie Boys’ Licensed to Ill (which ruled in 1987), OutKast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003-2004) and Eminem’s Recovery (2010).

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ The Getaway arrives at No. 2 with 118,000 equivalent album units (108,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the seventh top 10 album for the rock band, and third to hit the No. 2 slot (following their last studio album, 2011’s I’m With You, and 2002’s By the Way; the Chili Peppers have notched one No. 1 album: Stadium Arcadium, in 2006).

The Getaway is the fourth album to debut at No. 2 behind Drake’s unstoppable Views album. Previously, Nick Jonas’ Last Year Was Complicated, Dierks Bentley’s Black and Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman all debuted (and so far peaked) in the runner-up slot behind Views.

Drake No. 1 on Billboard Artist 100, Nick Jonas Jumps to No. 5

The Getaway also debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the top selling albums of the week.

Below the Chili Peppers on the Billboard 200, Beyonce’s Lemonade rises one slot to No. 3 with 49,000 units (down 13 percent) while the original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton slips 3-4 with nearly 49,000 (down 21 percent).

Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool re-enters the chart at No. 5 with 48,000 units (up 1,112 percent), after the album was released commercially on physical formats and to Spotify on June 17. The album previously charted for five weeks, debuting and peaking at No. 3, from a commercial digital release and availability on paid streaming services.

A Moon Shaped Pool sold 46,000 in traditional album sales during the week (up 1,366 percent).

Rapper YG scores his second top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the bow of Still Brazy at No. 6 with 38,000 units (and 28,000 in traditional album sales). His last studio effort, 2014’s My Krazy Life, debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 61,000 copies sold in its first week.

Rihanna’s Anti descends 6-7 with 37,000 units (though it’s up 1 percent) and Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface falls 7-8 with nearly 37,000 (up 13 percent).

Mumford & Sons’ new collaborative album, Johannesburg, starts at No. 9 with 36,000 units (34,000 in pure album sales). On the set, the band worked with Senegalese singer Baaba Maal, experimental dance act The Very Best and South African pop trio Beatenberg on the five-song effort, which also debuts at No. 1 on the World Albums chart.

Johannesburg is the fourth top 10 album for Mumford & Sons and the first charting effort on the Billboard 200 for Maal, The Very Best and Beatenberg. On the World Albums chart, it is Maal’s fifth top 10 and The Very Best’s fourth top 10. As for Beatenberg, this is the first charting album on any chart for the act.

Meghan Trainor’s Thank You wraps up the top 10, as it climbs 12-10 with 34,000 units (up 39 percent). During the tracking week, Trainor performed on NBC’s Today (June 21) while Thank You was also discounted to $6.99 at iTunes (which was promoted by the singer via Twitter).

[Wavey✨️]

Drizzy fuckin Drake. He's having a great year also.

[Push The Button]

Drake will surely have a record for most weeks at #1 with the lowest sales total.

[HolidayGuy]

The Chili Peppers score its second No. 1-selling album; this marks the 15th week since Dec. 2014 that the top-selling album also wasn't No. 1 on the multi-metric 200 (and the 12th instance in which the top-selling album didn't peak at No. on the aforementioned chart).

Until streaming momentum slows, a trend that will continue.

I know you don't care much for the main chart anymore, I used to not be a fan but...considering the main purpose of this chart is to measure popularity and not necessarily sales, I am starting to come around. Sales clearly is not the whole story anymore.

[DJ General]

Iconic as fuck! Go Drake!

[HolidayGuy]

I'm sure the trend will continue, Gary- especially with streaming-heavy acts liker Drake. I get what Billboard is trying to do with the BB200- boost the unit totals for the chart, because of declining album sales- but it should have just created a fresh chart for that, and renamed the albums chart Billboard 100 Albums or something (the albums chart wasn't always 200 positions or named the BB 200, after all). Track sales and streaming factor in the Hot 100.

[jebsib]

For years the Billboard 200 was the de facto measure of how popular a musical artist was culturally - the Hot 100 may have measured the songs, but the album - for lack of any other metric - was the bellwether for how relevant or influential the act was at the moment.

With sales having diminished, and fan bases first-week waring - that album barometer waned in the last few years…
Could that be why BB introduced the Artist 100, as a sort of permanent replacement chart for that prominent role?

[HolidayGuy]

I don't know if it would be a replacement, but the Artist 100 showcases overall popularity well enough.

[Gary]

Top Artist of the Year has been a staple on the year end charts forever. They may have decided that since they calculate it anyway, to make it a weekly chart.


The Hot 100 has all its separate component charts published. Would like to see that on the album side as well. So far we just have sales.

While boosting unit totals may have been a factor, I don't think it was the one only. The fact is that music "sales" are different now; it isn't just about a physical product. It's also a fact that we can now measure the listening to of music when we haven't been able to in the past. I get that it's hard to compare because in the past we haven't been able to measure listening, but I think to act like sales totals in 2016 can at all be compared to sales in 1999 is naive at best. But then pre-Soundscan "sales" are iffy, too, so it's not like the addition of streaming is the first time the sales chart is different.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Good boost for Radiohead. Their album is at 275k now, so this should surpass or top out close to the 350k or so their last album sold.

[shayonce]

according to HDD, drake's view sold 8k during 2day 6.99 discount.

jeng- that is true about pre-SoundScan, but it was still based on sales information.

In today's album-sales climate, it's not so much about the sales figures, but rather the sales positions. When digital sales entered the Hot 100 mix, it was sales of individual tracks- it made sense to incorporate it in the chart. When streaming entered the mix, it was for individual tracks- it made sense. Simply taking every 10 sales of a track and counting it as an album for an albums-based chart? Not so much, especially when it's one, two or even three tracks that, at times, make up the bulk of the totals- same with streaming.

This debate probably will go on for some time, but at least the multiple charts exist, to satisfy those who are interested in either, or even both. Reaching No. 1, or top 10, on Album Sales, for both newer and older acts, is as notable an achievement as it is on the multi-metric 200. We've had some acts scoring their first No. 1-selling album- that's an achievement.

I'm slowly coming around. lol
I can accept they include buying 10 tracks equals 1 cd because you can pick and choose songs from a cd to purchase from the get go.
I'm still iffy on the streaming part of it but that could change.
It does prove an album is more popular I guess which is what the Billboard Top 200 is all about now...

[HolidayGuy]

^That's one way to look at it. ;) Another is, it proves certain album tracks are more popular than others. I've mentioned that Billboard may as well add album sales to the Hot 100 mix- why not, right?

While it might be notable, I don't see where it's the same as hitting #1 on the main chart. And, really, you pointing out some acts are getting their first #1 selling album points out the issue; because sales are becoming irrelevant (particularly to younger audiences), the sales chart favors acts that cater to an older audience or a more specific/devoted following. To that end the sales chart almost measure who caters to a specific demographic more than it measures overall popularity.

jeng- that could be, too. But, that doesn't make it any less relevant. It's like acts who fare(d) notably better with singles than albums, or vice versa.

A major issue is comparing performance of an act's current albums on the multi-metric chart to those from the past. For instance, Rihanna's [ANTI- it's been lodged in the top 10 because of TEA and streaming. Does it make sense to compare its week-to-week showing, number of weeks in the top 10, etc., to those of her past albums? Its showing on Top Album Sales is the comparison that makes sense (yes, streaming individual tracks has replaced buying albums and singles for some, but there have been other ways to "consume" music other than album purchases for some time). Otherwise, it's an apples to oranges comparison.

The Hot 100's had overhauls, but they all were individual-track-based and made sense for a tracks-based chart. I don't have a problem with what Billboard is doing with the BB 200, per se- just that it's trying to pass if off as the "flagship" chart for albums.

Metal By Numbers 6/29: The charts are hot like magma
Posted by Matt Brown on June 29, 2016

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.

I’m spending my first summer in the south, and I have no elegant way of describing the heat that doesn’t involve using the words “hot” and “balls.” I sweat buckets just sitting in my car for two minutes even with the air on full blast. So isn’t it ironic that an album titled Magma would help alleviate the inferno at least on a mental level. Something about Gojira’s sound makes them sound as cool as the polar ice caps, which aren’t necessarily as cool as they used to be but, hey, still pretty cool. And they’re #13 on the Billboard, which is certainly one of coolest things you’ll hear all day.


Notable Debuts:

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: 'Hamilton' Hits Half-Million in U.S. Album Sales
7/2/2016 by Keith Caulfield

On the most recent Billboard 200 albums chart (dated July 9) Drake’s Views remained atop the list for an eighth consecutive week, earning 124,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 23. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ The Getaway bowed in the No. 2 position with 118,000 units, while YG’s Still Brazy and Mumford & Sons’ Johannesburg EP also debuted in the top 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the week’s most popular albums based on their overall consumption. That overall unit figure combines pure album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

Let’s take a closer look at some of the action on the chart:

— Original Broadway Cast Recording, Hamilton – No. 4 – The recent 11-time Tony Award winner slips one position to No. 4, but crosses the half-million sales mark in the U.S. The set sold another 32,000 copies in the week ending June 23, bringing its cumulative total to 522,000. Hamilton is the No. 12 largest-selling cast recording in the U.S. since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991. (Only 12 cast albums have sold a half-million copies in the U.S. since 1991.) Hamilton is also the biggest selling cast album released in more than 10 years. The last cast recording released with greater sales is the original Broadway cast recording of Jersey Boys, which bowed on Nov. 1, 2005 and has sold 1.4 million to date.

— Case/Lang/Veirs, Case/Lang/Veirs – No. 33 — The trio of Neko Case, k.d. lang and Laura Veirs arrives with their appropriately titled collaborative set, Case/Lang/Veirs. With the bow, lang notches her seventh top 40-charting album, Case grabs her third, and Veirs achieves her first.

— Fetty Wap, Fetty Wap – No. 46 — Fetty Wap’s self-titled album has become the seventh album to see its tracks earn more than one billion audio on-demand streams in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. The set crossed the billion mark in the week ending June 23, as its stream total now stands at 1.001 billion. The stream count for the album includes those registered by a song before its parent album was released – like the smash hits “Trap Queen,” “679” and “My Way,” which all came out before the album was released on Sept. 25, 2015. The other six albums to see their tracks earn more than a billion streams are: Drake’s Views (1.547 billion), Justin Bieber’s Purpose (1.451), The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness (1.369), Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (1.109), Drake’s Nothing Was the Same (1.042) and Ed Sheeran’s X (1.026).

— Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Greatest Hits – No. 56 — The rock band’s best-of collection zooms from No. 191 to No. 56 — the set’s highest rank since June 29, 2013 (when it was No. 53). The album earned 10,000 units for the week (up 134 percent), with 8,000 of that in traditional album sales (up 245 percent) — encouraged by sale pricing and promotion at digital retailers. That’s the largest sales week for the album since the week ending June 16, 2013 (slightly more than 8,000 sold) — the same week it reached No. 53 on the June 29, 2013-dated chart. (Billboard’s charts are dated ahead of the actual tracking weeks they cover.)

— The Tragically Hip, Man Machine Poem – No. 179 — The rock band’s new album begins with 4,000 units earned, with nearly all of that in traditional album sales. It’s the group’s eighth charting album, which also bows at No. 22 on the Top Rock Albums chart.
