Drake is having the best week ever.
After releasing Views exclusively through iTunes, the OVO head honcho has reportedly already sold more than 600,000 copies of his highly anticipated fourth studio album. At a private listening party in Toronto, Drake announced the news to an ecstatic crowd.
“I just got a text message,” Drake said. “That we sold like 630,000 something records in one night. That’s the first time I’ve ever did that sh*t so thank you very much.”
Views was so in demand, the album didn’t stay exclusive with streaming after the first day. On Friday, April 29, online streaming service Pandora announced fans would be able to stream Views via the “Drake” radio station. Although Pandora users won’t have the ability to skip back and forth through the album on demand, it is a legal alternative to listen to the album outside of Apple Music.
Drake, who also announced an upcoming Summer Sixteen Tour with Future, kicks off the first date on July 20 in Austin, Texas.
