Mar 27, 2017 I'm curious as well. Take Care WATTBA NWTS IYRTITL Thank Me Later Views More Life I assume they are counting the Collab album with Future?
Mar 27, 2017 Yeah according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_discography they are counting IYRTITL and WATTBA. It says they all hit #1 in the US
Mar 27, 2017 I dunno... should a Collab album count? Should IYRTITL count since it was a mixtape? I'm not knocking the other albums, those all definitely went #1 first week.
Mar 27, 2017 WATTBA? Really? It's more the earlier ones - I remember being so disappointed with his first album whatever that was - can't believe that was #1. Same with a couple of the others.
Mar 27, 2017 So Far Gone should be included in his album charting performance since he did officially release it. It debuted at 6 and fell to 9 in its first 2 weeks. Not all his albums were able to achieve #1 on the charts.
Mar 27, 2017 SFG was released free as a mixtape and later on they sold it as a EP not a full album only 7 songs so that doesn't count.
