Drake's 'So Far Gone' Heading For Top 10 Debut On Billboard 200 Chart

2/21/2019 by Keith Caulfield


Drake's So Far Gone mixtape is finally heading for its debut on the Billboard 200 chart, ten years after its initial release.

The mixtape, which was originally released for free in early 2009, but never commercially issued or distributed to streaming services until Feb. 15 of this year, may debut in the top five of next week's Billboard 200 chart with perhaps 45,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 21. So Far Gone made its commercial and streaming debut celebrate the 10th anniversary of the mixtape’s original release.

If So Far Gone arrives in the top 10, it will secure Drake his 10th top 10 album.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The top 10 of the March 2-dated Billboard 200 chart (where So Far Gone may bow in the top five) is scheduled to be revealed on Billboard’s websites on Sunday, Feb. 24.


While the full So Far Gone album never previously charted on Billboard’s album charts (back in 2009, an album needed to be commercially released in order to chart), a distillation of the set did reach Billboard tallies later that year. The So Far Gone EP was released later in 2009 as Drake’s first commercially released album (via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records).

The EP combined five tracks from the previously released full-length mixtape (including his first Billboard Hot 100 hit, the No. 2-peaking “Best I Ever Had”), along with two new cuts. The So Far Gone EP debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 dated Oct. 3, 2009. All eight of Drake’s subsequent releases, through Scorpion in 2018, have debuted at No. 1.

Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' Album Set For Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Plus: Florida Georgia Line and Drake aiming for top 10 bows.

Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next album looks to stay put at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a second week, according to industry forecasters.

Prognosticators suggest the pop star’s album could earn around 150,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 21. If the album holds at No. 1, it will be the first by a solo woman to more than one week at the top in over a year, since Taylor Swift’s Reputation tallied four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 (its first three: Dec. 2-Dec. 16, 2017, and then Jan. 6, 2018).

Thank U, Next debuted at No. 1 on the Feb. 23-dated Billboard 200, earning 360,000 units in its first week, according to Nielsen Music.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The top 10 of the March 2-dated Billboard 200 chart (where Thank U should hold at No. 1) is scheduled to be revealed on Billboard’s websites on Sunday, Feb. 24.

If Thank U, Next spends a second week at No. 1, it will also mark Grande’s first album to tally more than just a single week atop the list. Her three previous leaders all locked up one frame each at No. 1.

While Grande is aiming to retain the No. 1 slot on next week’s Billboard 200, Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack could notch a new peak on the list, as the album could rise 3-2 — surpassing its No. 3 high. The album could garner 60,000 units in the week ending Feb. 21 (up from 48,000) as the set continues to bask in the glow of the movie’s home video release on DVD and blu-ray on Feb. 12.

Next week’s highest debut will likely come from country duo Florida Georgia Line’s Can’t Say I Ain’t Country, which could bow at No. 3 with around 50,000 units. The act’s last album, Dig Your Roots, entered at No. 2 on the Sept. 17, 2016-dated chart with 145,000 units.

Plus, Drake is on track to notch his 10th consecutive top 10 album with his from-the-vaults release So Far Gone. The mixtape, which was originally released for free in early 2009, but never commercially issued or distributed to streaming services until Feb. 15, may debut at No. 4 with perhaps 45,000 units earned. So Far Gone made its commercial and streaming debut celebrate the 10th anniversary of the mixtape’s original release.

While the full So Far Gone never previously charted on Billboard’s album charts (back in 2009, an album needed to be commercially released in order to chart), a distillation of the set did reach Billboard tallies later that year. The So Far Gone EP was released later in 2009 as Drake’s first commercially released album (via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records).

Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' Spends Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
News
By Keith Caulfield | February 24, 2019 3:00 PM EST


Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making it the first album by a solo woman to spend more than a single week at No. 1 in over a year.

Thank U earned 151,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 21 (down 58 percent from its debut of 360,000 units), according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 20,000 were in album sales (down 82 percent).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new March 2-dated chart (where Thank U holds at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Feb. 26.

Thank U’s second week sum of 151,000 units is mostly comprised of SEA units: 124,000. That figure translates to 168.6 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s songs in its second week (down from 307 million in its debut frame, when it set the record for both an album by a woman and for a pop album). The 168.6 million streaming figure for Thank U’s second week easily makes it the most streamed album of this week, and also ranks it as the third-largest week for a woman ever (trailing its own debut frame, plus the first week of Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy, with 202.6 million) and the second-biggest week ever for a pop album (after only Thank U’s debut week).

Thank U also marks Grande’s first album to tally more than just a single week atop the list. Her three previous leaders all locked up one frame each at No. 1.
Plus, Thank U is first album by a solo woman to earn more than one week at the top in over a year, since Taylor Swift’s reputation tallied four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 (its first three: Dec. 2-Dec. 16, 2017, and then Jan. 6, 2018). (In between reputation and Thank U, the A Star Is Born soundtrack, credited to both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, spent three frames at No. 1.)

Meanwhile, since reputation was last No. 1 (from the Jan. 13, 2018 through March 2, 2019-dated charts), five albums by solo men have spent at least two weeks atop the list: A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN(two weeks), 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was (two), Travis Scott’s Astroworld (three), Drake’s Scorpion (five) and Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (three).

Perhaps more surprising, of the 43 No. 1s since reputation was last on top, only five were by solo women. Grande’s two No. 1s: Sweetener and Thank U, Next; Camila Cabello’s Camila, Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy, and Carrie Underwood’s Cry Pretty. Twenty-four were by solo men, 11 were from groups (and all of those groups were comprised entirely of men) and three were soundtracks (The Greatest Showman, Black Panther, and Gaga and Cooper’s A Star Is Born).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, the soundtrack to Bohemian Rhapsody hits a new peak, as it rises 3-2 with 56,000 units (up 17 percent) as it continues to bask in the glow of the film’s home video release on DVD and blu-ray on Feb. 12. The set beats its previous chart high of No. 3.

With Bohemian’s new chart peak, it's now solely Queen’s second-highest charting effort, breaking out of a tie with the No. 3-peaking News of the World, from 1978. Ahead of Bohemian is Queen’s only No. 1, 1980’s The Game.

The A Star Is Born soundtrack slips 2-3, despite a 3 percent increase (to 51,000 units). The former No. 1 has yet to depart the top 10, encompassing its first 20 weeks on the chart.

Both Bohemian and Star are primed for further gains on next week’s chart in the wake of Sunday’s (Feb. 24) Academy Awards. The two films are both up for best picture and have five and eight total nominations, respectively. Plus, Queen is slated to open the Oscars broadcast with a performance, while Gaga and Cooper are scheduled to perform Star’s hit single “Shallow,” which is nominated for best original song.

At No. 4 on the Billboard 200, Florida Georgia Line’s Can’t Say I Ain’t Country starts at No. 4, giving the country duo its fourth top five effort. The set enters with 50,000 units (29,000 in album sales). The act’s last album, Dig Your Roots, entered at No. 2 on the Sept. 17, 2016-dated chart with 145,000 units.
Debuting at No. 5 on the new Billboard 200 is Drake’s 10-year-old So Far Gone mixtape. The set enters with 45,000 units (7,000 in album sales), garnering Drake his 10th total and consecutive top 10.

The mixtape, which was originally released for free in early 2009, but never commercially issued or distributed to streaming services until Feb. 15 of this year, made its commercial and streaming debut to celebrate Gone’s 10th anniversary.

While the full So Far Gone album never previously charted on Billboard’s charts (back in 2009, an album needed to be commercially released in order to chart), a distillation of the set did reach Billboard tallies that year. The So Far Gone EP was released later in 2009 as Drake’s first commercially released album (through Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records). The EP combined five tracks from the full-length mixtape (including his first Billboard Hot 100 hit, the No. 2-peaking “Best I Ever Had”), along with two new cuts. The So Far Gone EP debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 dated Oct. 3, 2009.

Closing out the new Billboard 200’s top 10 are a quintet of previous No. 1s. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN falls 4-6 (39,000 units; down 10 percent), Post Malone’s beerbongs dips 5-7 (34,000 units; down 14 percent), Travis Scott’s Astroworld drops 6-8 (33,000 units; down 12 percent), 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was descends 7-9 (32,000 units; down 12 percent) and Meek Mill’s Championships is steady at No. 10 (32,000 units; down 6 percent).

Drake Scores 10th Top 10 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With ‘So Far Gone’ Mixtape
2/24/2019 by Keith Caulfield


Drake’s 10-year-old, So Far Gone, mixtape finally arrives on Billboard’s charts, as the set debuts at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The album enters with 45,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 21 (7,000 in album sales) in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.
So Far Gone’s chart debut garners Drake his 10th total and consecutive top 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new March 2-dated chart (where So Far Gone debuts at No. 5) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Feb. 26.


The So Far Gone mixtape, which was originally released for free in early 2009, but never commercially issued or distributed to streaming services until Feb. 15 of this year (through Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records), made its commercial and streaming debut to celebrate Gone’s 10th anniversary. So Far Gone was released to digital retailers and streamers. The album’s CD release is due out on March 8.

Of So Far Gone’s total debut-week units, 37,000 were SEA units, which equates to 47.4 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s songs. So Far Gone was the third-most streamed album of the week, trailing Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next (168.6 million) and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN (57.5 million). As previously reported, Thank U also spends a second week on the Billboard 200.

While the full So Far Gone album never previously charted on Billboard’s charts (back in 2009, an album needed to be commercially released in order to chart), a distillation of the set did reach Billboard tallies that year. The So Far Gone EP was released later in 2009 as Drake’s first commercially released album. The seven-song EP combined five tracks from the full-length mixtape (including his first Billboard Hot 100 hit, the No. 2-peaking “Best I Ever Had”), along with two new cuts. The So Far Gone EP debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 dated Oct. 3, 2009.

Of Drake’s 10 top 10s, he has hit No. 1 eight times. Only his two So Far Gone offerings have missed the top slot.

Happy for her. This is her first album to spend more than one week at #1, right?

Amazing second week after Grammys for Golden Hour! That is a minuscule drop all things considered

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

One Queen Greatest Hits compilation replacing another one in Catalog Albums! I'd dare say that's the first time an artist has accomplished this.

Drake Ties Future for Most Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums No. 1s With 'So Far Gone' Debut
2/28/2019 by Trevor Anderson



Drake’s So Far Gone mixtape debuts at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart (dated March 2), securing the superstar’s ninth straight leader on the list.
Gone, which originally premiered in 2009, was never commercially issued, though some of the project’s tracks were later found on Drake’s debut EP, also titled So Far Gone (which reached No. 3 later in 2009). The full set only received its official commercial sales and streaming release on Feb. 15 to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

The 18-track collection earned 45,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 21, according to Nielsen Music.

As Gone debuts, Drake matches Future for the most No. 1s in the 2010s decade. The two had traded the record in recent months, with the Atlanta native establishing a temporary lead when his Future Hndrxx Presents…The WZRD opened at No. 1 earlier this month.
Behind the pair, Chris Brown, J. Cole, The Game and The Weeknd share joint custody of third place, with five No. 1s each in the 2010s.


With 10 months remaining in the decade – and given both artists’ frequent output – Drake and Future could each still challenge for the most No. 1 albums in any decade. The Temptations currently hold the mark, with 11 leaders banked in the 1960s, a feat noticeably impressive as the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart began close to the decade’s midway point, on Jan. 30, 1965.

Here’s the current leaderboard for the most No. 1 albums in a decade:
1960s: The Temptations (11)
1970s: Al Green, Barry White, The Temptations (six each)
1980s: Luther Vandross (six)
1990s: 2Pac (five)
2000s: JAY-Z (10)
2010s thus far: Drake, Future (nine each)
As previously reported, Gone bows at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart, garnering Drake’s 10th top 10 album.
