Young Money’s Drake lands another chart-topping release with Nothing Was The Same.
After a full seven days on store shelves, the new solo LP sold 658,000 copies of Nothing Was The Same was sold.
After the release of the album, it easily captured the #1 spot of the album chart, more than five times as many copies sold at the No. 2 entry, Kings of Leon‘s Mechanical Bull.
It will likely go on to sell many more copies as well, especially if songs like bonus track “Come Thru” are released as singles. It’s the second-best opening week of the year, after Justin Timberlake‘s 20/20 Experience sold 968,000. And it easily bests Jay Z‘s opening weeks sales of 527,000. (Complex)
