Drake’s “Thank Me Later” First Week Sales…

Drake’s Thank Me Later first week sales are in and the numbers are just under Gold certification (500k) with a total of 462,989. As a side note, Drake’s album has sold over to 80,000 in Canada, which by Canadian standards is platinum status.

Even though the Drake hype machine has died down, I do think these numbers are respectable because they are on par with what most big rap albums do these days. However, givin’ the hype around this album, I know Drake and his label expected “Lil Wayne numbers”, but without a “Lollipop” type joint that really wasn’t going to happen. We’ll see what the next up and comer can pull off first go.
