Drake Sees Several Of His Biggest Albums Climb To New Chart Peaks

The Top Streaming Albums chart is one of Billboard’s newest rankings, even though it was introduced by the company several years back. The list details the most successful full-lengths and EPs on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and others, with only streams originating from American consumers factoring into where a title lands.

Drake, one of the most successful artists on streaming sites of all time, has already conquered the Top Streaming Albums chart twice, and he is one of only a handful of artists who regularly fill multiple spaces at the same time. Several of the hip-hop superstar’s biggest albums climb to new peaks on the streaming ranking as a quiet January gives the Canadian talent room to grow.

Take Care and Views Climb to New Highs on the Same Chart

This week, both Take Care and Views, which are regarded among Drake’s most popular and critically-applauded projects, lift to never-before-seen high points on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Take Care improves one space to No. 16, while Views enters the top 40, ascending from No. 41 to No. 36.

Drake’s History on the Top Streaming Albums Chart

Since first appearing on the Top Streaming Albums chart in October 2023, when four of his releases launched at the same time, Drake has placed seven full-lengths somewhere on the 50-spot roster. Two of them — Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a collaborative release with PartyNextDoor that dropped a little less than a year ago, and Drake’s solo effort For All the Dogs — both spent four weeks running the show. Take Care ranks as his highest-rising album that never cracked the top 10.

Views Sits Near the Bottom of Drake’s Streaming Albums Wins

Views ends up on the lower end of his successes, as it stalls as his second-lowest peaking title, with only Scorpion beating it to the bottom. Scorpion is the sole Drake album to miss out on the top 40, as it only ever climbed as high as No. 41.

Drake Charts Four Albums at the Same Time on the Same List

Drake fills four spots on the current Top Streaming Albums chart, and as half of them surge to new peaks, the other two don’t come anywhere close to their previously-set high points. Some Sexy Songs 4 U is a non-mover at No. 23, while Certified Lover Boy reenters the tally at No. 48, in third-to-last place.

Drake’s Albums Perform Well Across Multiple Billboard Tallies

All four Drake titles that land on the Top Streaming Albums chart this week also appear on the at least three additional Billboard rankings. Take Care, Views, and Certified Lover Boy can be found on the Billboard 200, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and Top Rap Albums lists, and in almost every instance they are on the rise.

Impressively, both Take Care and Some Sexy Songs 4 U miss out on ruling different tallies by just one spot. Take Care lifts to the runner-up rung on the Top Rap Albums chart, while Some Sexy Songs 4 U is comfortable once again just behind No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums tally.

Drake’s Catalog Fills Out the Billboard 200

In addition to the four aforementioned bestsellers and powerful streamers, half a dozen additional Drake albums find space on at least one chart in the U.S. For All the Dogs, Thank Me Later, Scorpion, More Life, Nothing Was the Same, and Her Loss, a collaboration with 21 Savage, make a home on the Billboard 200. All of those efforts, except for the final two, also carve out space on at least one other roster – if not several at the same time – and five of those albums even manage to reappear on one ranking or another.
