Based on sales chart site Hits Daily Double, Drizzy’s surprise release sold just over 497,000 copies.

Rap star Big Sean admitted he made sure to contribute to Drizzy’s sales total in a recent interview.

But he did go out and support his friend Drake’s mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. “Yeah, of course. I bought it. I think it’s great. That’s the homie. I got nothin’ but love for them OVO boys. They my dogs right there.” (Rap-Up)

One-day estimates claimed the project would easily dominate the sales chart this 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)

Drizzy treated fans to the unexpected music gem on Twitter last Thursday (February 12) night.
