Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have done it again! The duo’s highly anticipated collaborative album, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200—marking another massive milestone in both of their careers.
The album stormed to the top with 246,000 total units sold in its opening week. Unsurprisingly, streaming played a crucial role in the success, with 219,000 of those units coming from 287.04 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks.
With this feat, Drake secures his 14th #1 album, further cementing his dominance in the music industry, while PARTYNEXTDOOR scores his first-ever chart-topping project. The duo’s ability to blend R&B and hip-hop seamlessly has resonated with fans, fueling the project’s massive streaming numbers.
Replacing Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ at #1
Interestingly, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U dethrones Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’, which held the top spot last week. The competition at the top of the charts remains fierce, but Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have shown their collaborative power by swiftly claiming pole position.
A Chart-Topping Legacy Continues
While 246,000 first-week units might not be Drizzy’s highest opening, a #1 album remains a monumental achievement. Drake continues to prove that his dominance in the music industry is unwavering, and PARTYNEXTDOOR now joins the ranks of artists with chart-topping success.
With $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U off to a stellar start, it remains to be seen how long it will hold onto the #1 position. But for now, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR are celebrating a well-earned victory.
