Drake Says He Sold 630,000 Copies of ‘Views’ in ONE NIGHT, Set to Move 1 Million Units First Week [Video]

Drake told the audience at a Views listening party in Toronto last night that he received a text saying he sold 630,000 copies of his new album in ONE night.

“I got a text messages saying we sold like 600k + copies” Drake to his city of Toronto last night! #VIEWS is getting mixed feelings, what’s your thoughts is it drakes best or his worst?

If true, it’s an impressive feat. To put it in perspective, What a Time to Be Alive sold 375,000 copies first week and If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late moved 535,000 units in a three-day window.

630,000 does sound like a lot, but now cumulative streams of songs previously released from an album will be included the album sales Billboard chart. Since he put “Hotline Bling” on the album it certainly got a boost.

He’s projected to move 1 million units before the week’s end.

US chart preview: @Drake 800-850k (sales only) and 950-1m (w/ TEA & SEA).
