Drake’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart With Biggest Week for an Album in Over a Year

The set’s songs generate blockbuster 743.7 million on-demand streams in the U.S.

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy album makes a spectacular debut atop the Billboard 200 chart with the biggest week for any album in over a year. The long-awaited set, which was released on Sept. 3, is Drake’s 10th No. 1 and starts with 613,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 9, according to MRC Data. That’s the biggest week for an album since the Aug. 8, 2020-dated chart, when Taylor Swift’s Folklore launched at No. 1 with 846,000 units.

 

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 comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 18, 2021-dated chart (where Certified Lover Boy debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Sept. 13. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

 

Of Certified Lover Boy’s 613,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 9, SEA units comprise 562,000 units (equaling 743.67 million on-demand streams of the album’s 21 tracks), album sales comprise 46,000 (all from digital album sales; a CD release is due on Oct. 1) and TEA units comprise 5,000 units.

Drake Dominates With Record 9 of Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100, Led by 'Way 2 Sexy' at No. 1

 

Drake also matches The Beatles as the only acts ever to monopolize the entire top five in a week.

Drake boasts one of the most dominant weeks in the 63-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as he becomes the first artist ever to claim as many as nine of the top 10 positions in a single frame.

 

Among his Hot 100 haul, the superstar infuses the entire top five, a feat previously achieved only by The Beatles for a week in 1964.

 

Leading the way, Drake's "Way 2 Sexy," featuring Future and Young Thug, launches at No. 1 on the Hot 100. In all, Drake debuts 21 songs on the Hot 100, all from his new album Certified Lover Boy (released Sept. 3 on OVO Sound/Republic Records), which blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 613,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 9, according to MRC Data, the biggest weekly sum for an album in over a year.

 

Meanwhile, with all nine of Drake's new Hot 100 top 10s from Certified Lover Boy, the set is the first album ever to generate as many as nine top 10 Hot 100 hits.

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Sept. 18) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 14). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Yeah shame he needed one more song or to push a single for that but whatever it's the same anyway and the numbers are insane either way.

It's absolutely INSANE that it was 3M U.S. streams away from breaking Scorpion's streaming record. I didn't even think it'd reach U.S. 700M streams.

Is this really necessary? All you have done is throw shade at Drake throughout this week. 

[legendofthetour]

Crazy that he would’ve obliterated Scorpion’s streaming record if this one had 25 tracks

These tired ass attempts to drag, do you know the year you're living in? And he had no physicals 

[Isaiah]

So with these numbers I believe folklore still outdoes CLB even without its bundles  (Gargantuan numbers for Drake regardless, of course. )
