Drake’s “Care Package” Helps Him to Achieve Ninth No. 1 Album

Drake achieved his ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with his new compilation album, Care Package. 

The album consists of 17 popular tracks such as How Bout Now, Trust Issues, Draft Day, and Paris Morton Music, which were never officially released on an album. All songs were available on platforms such as Soundcloud or YouTube. Care Package was released on Aug. 2 through OVO Sound/Republic Records, and launched with 109,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the week ending in Aug. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Of that, about 16,000 were in album sales.

Drake has now extended his own record for the most No. 1 albums this decade, as all nine of his top spots have arrived since 2010. Additionally, Care Package is the first No. 1 album that Drake has released through OVO Sound, which is the label co-founded by Drake. All of his other album’s were released through Young Money/Cash Money/Republic.

The Money In The Grave rapper has charted 11 entries on the Billboard 200 chart, with just two of them missing the top slot. His So Far Gone mixtape was originally released for free, but never officially released through a streaming service. Drake later dropped the So Far Gone EP back in 2009, which was a distillation of the original So Far Gone mixtape. It marked Drake’s first commercial album release and peaked at No. 6.

Many other popular artists are tied with Drake for the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200. Garth Brooks, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Eminem, all have nine each, according to Billboard.

None of the songs released on Care Package were singles, as the album dropped suddenly. However, by the looks of it, they are well on their way to climbing the charts.
