QueenofCopyPaste Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Drake Earns Eighth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Scorpion,' Sets New Streaming Record The album generated 745.9 million on-demand audio streams in the U.S. for its songs in its release week — a new record. Drake’s Scorpion album makes a smashing, streaming-powered debut atop the Billboard 200 chart, as the set opens with the largest overall week of 2018 for any album. Scorpion, which was released on June 29 via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, bows with 732,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 5 according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 160,000 were in traditional album sales. 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). As of this week, each unit equals one traditional album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from one album (a TEA unit), or 1,250 paid subscription on-demand audio song streams from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported on-demand audio song streams from an album (an SEA unit). (The weighting of an SEA unit was updated with the July 14-dated charts.) https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8464342/drake-scorpion-debut-no1-billboard-200-chart-sets-streaming-record BB200 Top Ten: 1.

Drake dominates the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated July 14) in record-breaking fashion, as his new LP Scorpion launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the biggest week of consumption for an album in 2018. Atop the Hot 100, the set's "Nice for What" rebounds from No. 6 to No. 1 for an eighth total week at the summit. Among Drake's record feats on the Hot 100, he boasts seven songs in the top 10 simultaneously, besting the Beatles' record of five that had stood since 1964. (The Beatles remain the only act to monopolize the Hot 100's entire top five in a week.) Drake adds five new Hot 100 top 10s, upping his career count to 31, passing Michael Jackson for the most among male soloists; one of those new top 10s, "Don't Matter to Me," features Jackson, who earns his 30th top 10. Beyond the top 10, Drake charts 27 songs overall on the July 14-dated Hot 100, breaking his own record for the most simultaneously charted titles. All 25 tracks from Scorpion, released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, appear on the chart. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8464454/drake-hot-100-record-nice-for-what-scorpion Hot 100 Top 10: 1.
