Drake’s ‘More Life’ No. 1 for Third Week on Billboard 200

There’s no stopping Drake at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as More Life spends a third straight week atop the list. The set earned 136,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 6, according to Nielsen Music.
That sum is a decline of 40 percent compared to its second-week earnings: 226,000 units.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 22, 2017-dated chart (where More Life is No. 1 for a third week) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, April 11.
More Life is the first album to spend its first three chart weeks at No. 1 since Drake’s own Views, back on June 4, 2016. (Views spent its first nine weeks at No. 1, following its debut atop the tally dated May 21. Views then later returned three more weeks in the penthouse fromJuly 30-Aug. 13, and then one further frame at No. 1 on Oct. 8.)
More Life is still powered greatly by its streaming activity, as 111,000 of its units are SEA (equaling 167 million streams of songs from the album in the tracking week). The album also tallied 16,000 in traditional album sales, and 9,000 TEA units.
More Life continues to only be available for sale as a download, as its previously announced March 31 CD release was pushed back to an as-yet-unannounced date. A vinyl LP was also forthcoming, but a street date was never made public.
