Young Money's Drake could be sitting on nearly half a million copies sold of his surprise If You're Reading This It's Too Late overnight release based on initial projections.
One-day estimates claim the project will easily dominate the sales chart next week.
Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) will debut at #1 on the HITS Album and SPS charts next week, spoiling what looked less than 24 hours ago like a slam dunk for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack—but the marketshare goes to the same place, so Republic can’t complain. What’s more, the surprise mixtape could see first-weekend sales of 500k. (HITS Daily Double)

Earlier the same day, Drizzy treated fans to an intimate, 14-minute-plus film called “Jungle.”
OVO affiliate P. Reign recently confirmed buzz about a new Drake mixtape coming together.
“I know Drake’s dropping a mixtape that I’ve already heard a lot of and it’s crazy. I think it’s some of the best I’ve heard from him in my life and I already know off Drake’s mixtape the world is going to shake.” (Karen Civil)
During an interview a few months ago, Toronto Raptors star DeMar DeRozan referenced an untitled Drizzy release would arrive this winter.
“It’s incredible having that type of artist of his magnitude be able to support us the way he do because he definitely really do support us; it’s not just for show. He come in the locker room, [we] talk to him. I talked to him the other night. Actually, he said he wants to give me his mixtape that come out in January.” (NBC TV)

Drake’s gonna do numbers with this. No one saw this coming.
Damn man 500k???
This was a subliminal shot at The Weeknd too, it was HIS week with the release of the movie and all. Drizzy gets it again.
He dropped in on the anniversary of his classic mixtape “So Far Gone”
I remember him once saying he could sell a blank disc and doing 500k first week off his b-sides/throwaway tracks is pretty good indication of dude’s status right now. Mixtape got some joints on it too.
i hate drakes music i cant stand that niggaz shit but i cant knock that niggaz hustle #100 #salute. if this nigga went indy he would kill the game with the numbers he doing
Drake is Untouchable #DiddysVoice

Drakes the dopest, easy. I dont listen to much rap, but his success level is beyond anything in the game right now.

most of the time they don’t even bother with these mixtapes they put out on Itunes.
