Drake‘s ‘More life’ and Rick Ross‘ ‘Rather you than me’
were both released on the same week and while ‘More life’ has debuted
at number 1 on the Billboard hot 200, ‘Rather you than me’ sits on the
number 3 spot.
Hot New Hip Hop reports says:
“505,000 equivalent album units sold, reports Billboard.
Of that figure, 257,000 of the equivalent units were attained through
streaming, which comes from 384.8 million streams logged in the U.S.
This means that More Life has broken Drake’s previous streaming record
set with VIEWS, which earned 163,000 streaming equivalent units in its
first week (or 245.1 million song streams). At the same time, More Life
does not come close to VIEWS’ full first week sales count, which was
1.04 million equivalent album units. On Saturday, it was estimated that
More Life could earn as many as 600 million song streams worldwide in
its first week. Those numbers are yet to be confirmed.
The breakdown of Drake’s sales can be found below.
Streaming Equivalent Albums: 257,000
Track Equivalent Albums: 23,000
Traditional Album Sales: 226,000
Meanwhile, Rick Ross’ Rather You Than Me has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 106,000 equivalent album units.
70,000 of those units came through in traditional sales. This is Ross’
biggest sales week since he debuted at No. 1 with Mastermind in 2014,
selling 179,000 copies.”
