    @DrakeSXN

    After releasing his new album VIEWS last week, Drake claimed at the record launch party that he'd sold over 600,000 copies of it on the first day alone. His estimate may not have been too far off, according to new numbers released today by Republic Records. The label reports that VIEWS has sold 1.2 million copies (including streaming album equivalents) across the world in less than six days after its release, with over a million of those sales coming from the U.S. In addition, in that same time frame, VIEWS was streamed over 250 million times, with over 200 million of those coming from within the United States.

    VIEWS is currently available only on Apple Music and the iTunes Store. Tomorrow, May 6, it will get a physical release and will also be available on all digital download retailers. On May 13, the Apple Music exclusivity expires and the album will expand to all streaming platforms.

    Read "Drake's VIEWS: The 5 Most Important Things to Know" on the Pitch, and check out our interview with Stwo, who co-produced the album's "Weston Road Flows."

    Wow. Little different nowadays since streams count, but this is still impressive considering it was only available on Apple.
    NWTS would've done more IMO.
