After listening to Drake for a while he can get boring because he sounds monotone and there isn’t a lot of energy or soul. I don’t care what anyone says, Drake can’t sing Just because you hit the note doesn’t mean you can sing. The final Billboard data will be printed Wednesday, but it will not differ significantly from the 463,000 figure. Though Drake’s album is very well produced and written, it has flaws. Update: First week sales, according to Hits Daily Double, were about 463,000. Thank Me Later featured the single, 'Find Your Love', peaking it at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. But while that means 500,000 is certainly feasible, the possibility of Drake opening to the tune of one million or more is officially out of the question. In June 2010, Drake released his debut studio album, Thank Me Later. The tempos are slow, the beats are awash in gauzy atmospherics, and Drake. I need him to do two million the first week, straight up.”īillboard was quick to note that the album stands a chance of moving above the aforementioned 425-475,000 forecast by week’s end. It’s a shock to hear how softly sluggishly, even Drake announces himself on his official debut. Recently, rapper The Game offered a prediction of 650,000 opening week sales Lil Wayne, meanwhile, said, “I need him to do more than ‘Tha Carter III.’ Like two million in the first week.

While such an opening would situate the album with Sade’s “Soldier of Love” (502,000) and Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” (481,000) as one of the best year-to-date performers, it would not live up to some of the rather lofty pre-release hopes and expectations.

According to Billboard, the early tracking on “Thank Me Later” is 425,000-475,000 debut week sales.
