Drake Earns 13th No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With ‘For All the Dogs’

The set scores the largest streaming week of 2023 in the U.S. for any album, with over a half-billion streams for its songs.

 

Drake earns his 13th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Oct. 21), as his new studio effort For All the Dogs debuts atop the list. The set earned 402,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 12, according to Luminate. That marks the fourth-largest week of the year for an album, by units earned.

 

For All the Dogs’ opening frame was almost entirely driven by the streaming activity of its 23 songs. In total, 97% of Dogs’ debut was owed to song streams — adding up to 514.01 million on-demand official streams of those songs in its first week. That results in the largest streaming week of 2023 for any album, and the fourth-largest ever. Strikingly, of the top five biggest streaming weeks four of them were generated by a Drake album.

 

For All the Dogs was released at 6 a.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 6 — slightly off-cycle, as most new albums are released at 12 a.m. ET every Friday. The album was first teased in June, and then on Sept. 6, he announced the album was due to be released on Sept. 22. By Sept. 15, he had pushed that release date back to Oct. 6.

 

Dogs is Drake’s fourth album in less than two years, and third since June of 2022. He released the collaborative Her Loss with 21 Savage in November of 2022, and the solo sets Honestly, Nevermind in June of 2022 and Certified Lover Boy in Sept. 2021.

 

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, compiled by Luminate. 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 Oct. 21, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 17). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Drake & J. Cole’s ‘First Person Shooter’ Debuts Atop Billboard Hot 100, Tying Drake With Michael Jackson for Record

Drake ties Jackson with 13 Hot 100 leaders, the most among solo males, while J. Cole earns his first.

 

Drake’s “First Person Shooter,” featuring J. Cole, launches at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The collaboration, from Drake’s LP For All the Dogs – which concurrently debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart – is his 13th Hot 100 leader, tying him with Michael Jackson for the most in the list’s history among solo males, and the fourth-most among all acts.

 

J. Cole achieves his first Hot 100 No. 1.

 

Drake, meanwhile, charts seven songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, including six debuts, upping his record total to 76 career top 10 hits.

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Oct. 21, 2023) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Oct. 17). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Predictions said +450K, last HDD projections had it at 410K. It debuts with 402K... What happened?

[Peroxide]

Big numbers but an underperformance regardless…

Less people tuned in

[Michael196]

For All the Dogs (514.01 million) and Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss (513.56 million in its debut, 2022) 

[MidnightsAtPeace]

it's an underperformance for his standards

[GeminiCat]

Is that less than Her Loss? Damn. Still good numbers especially with no bundles/physicals. 

[Meev]

Still too high. Should have been sub 400k 

[BGood2Me]

Olivia #4 with almost zero copies difference from #3 once again 

[family.guy123]

HDD must be Swifties setting Drake up to get dragged specifically on Atrl

[family.guy123]

Here are the top five biggest streaming weeks for an album, by total on-demand streams earned by a set’s collected songs: Drake’s Scorpion (745.92 million in its debut, in 2018), Drake’s Certified Lover Boy (743.67 million in its debut, 2021), Taylor Swift’s Midnights (549.26 million in its debut, 2022), For All the Dogs (514.01 million) and Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss (513.56 million in its debut, 2022).

[BtDecember]

Not too bad for him bad a break from music is really needed for him

[littlebodybigheart]

crazy numbers

[BtDecember]

#7 42k Midnights

#10 39k Lover

 

[WEEKND]

Healthy numbers tbh 

[Cruel Summer]

One more week for Midnights to hang on to the top ten to reach the full year mark  and then less than a week after that chart is announced, she could threaten its opening week numbers with one of her biggest debuts yet, what a force of nature

[NEUTRON]

King

[imabadkid]

Good numbers tbh

[est. in 90s]

Selling 400k+ with 10k pure sales will never not tickle me
