Drake’s “Thank Me Later” album was anticipated to sell at least one million records in it’s first week – but only hit, a respectable, 447,000 copies. He ended up still going platinum five weeks later; Young Money CEO Cortez Bryant told VIBE magazine that it was because:

“The first week was great but [Drake] still need that big smash pop hit like we had with Wayne’s ‘Lollipop’. Wayne got his million because he had that urban side and he crossed over to that pop demographic. I believe Drake would’ve got those million sales if we would’ve had that pop record.”

Even Drake’s record with Swizz Beatz isn’t big enough:

“I don’t think ‘Fancy’ is that pop record either. It’ll go so far, but when we drop ‘Show Me A Good Time’ in September— that has the potential to be that big record.”

But Drake’s been diligently in the studio – and word on the streets is that his next album may come as early as December of this year! Yeah! Hit that milli, Drizzy!

His Thank Me Later album was leaked two weeks before his official release date and STILL managed to go platinum in 5 weeks. WOW. *clap clap BRAVO*

According to Hit Daily Double, Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later sold …..
*DRUMROLL PLEASE!!*
462,989 copies within the first week.

No where near a milli album sells, but Thank Me Later will enter the Billboard charts tomorrow at number one as the highest selling debut this year.

400k is still a high number, considering today’s music industry. Can you imagine how many he would have sold if that leak didn’t happen? Yeezus!

Drake was not scheduled to perform at a recent listening party for Thank Me Later, but he couldn’t resist. He performed 6 songs off of his debut album, check it out.

Yup, Drake is talking about Rihanna in his record titled “Fireworks” off his Thank Me Later album. There are a few lines that refer to her and they go a little something like this:

“I could tell it wasn’t love, I just thought you’d fuck with me/ Who could’ve predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me, damn/ I kept my wits about me luckily, what happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me/ Now all of a sudden these gossip rags wanna cover me, and you makin’ it seem like it happened that way because of me/ But I was curious, and I’ll never forget it baby, what an experience/ You could’ve been the one, but it wasn’t that serious.”

Drake just recently opened up with The New York Times and explained what happened between him and Rihanna:

“I was a pawn. You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’”

Aww, Rihanna hurt Drake’s feelings…rude girl!

Drake’s Thank Me Later album was SUPPOSE to be released on June 15th, but instead, his album hit the internet late last night. Usually, an artist would be upset…but Drake isn’t even trippin!

He tweeted:

“I gave away free music for years so we’re good over here…just allow it to be the soundtrack to your summer and ENJOY! JUNE 15th!”

He also told Entertainment Weekly that his intention wasn’t to top the charts with the album.

“I didn’t make this album for commercial purposes. A lot of the verses are extremely long. I just made it to share with people. I hope they can enjoy,”

I heard the album this morning…Dope!! Definitely met my expectations. I’m still going to buy his album on June 15th, and I think you should, too :)

I know we shouldn’t judge anything by it’s cover – but I was kinda disappointed by this one. Very simple. Kinda feel like I should have 3D glasses on right now.

Drake’s debut album “Thank Me Later” is being pushed back from May 25th to June 15th.

Just please don’t pull a Dr. Dre “Detox” stunt on us, homie!

I’m really anticipating Drake’s album. His buzz has been ridic since his “So Far Gone” mixtape and since signing with Young Money. I’m all the way believing the hype until proven otherwise. #TeamDrake.
