    Kendrick so far ahead of any his peers right now

    Drake and his 14 year old girl fans didn't even come close

    As expected, Drake’s Views album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with an explosive first week. The set earned 1.04 million equivalent album units in the week ending May 5 in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.

    Exactly. To be 100% objective, you can't really say Kendrick has dethroned Drake. More Life wasn't labeled as a studio album. This was definitely huge for Kendrick, but let's be real...

    I doubt Em's next album does more than the 1.04mil Views did tbh

    The sales King has finally been dethroned

    People doubted him sales-wise before MMLP2 dropped & that did 792k first week w/o streams

    Wouldn't be surprising at all if he easily went over 1m

    Curious to see the numbers but only time will tell

    This was off the back of hotline bling being put on the album and being streamed nearly a year before the album release

    People always forget that any of the sales and streams of any single that is on an album gets added to an album sales.

    Wow, I thought when thy released the 1st projection he'd have a shot of going gold 1st week but he blew that s--- away. Critical acclaim, chart topping, sales, ain't nothing he can't do. Gotta see who got closest in my prediction thread now

    Still good on Kendrick all he had to do was make half the album pop friendly
