It was expected that Drake and Future’s collaboration would do well on the charts. But they went well beyond our expectations. It was just announced that “What A Time To Be Alive” has reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Despite being a “surprise project,” and having very little promotion, the album moved over 375,000 units in its first week.
It’s safe to say that it’s been an amazing year for both rappers. Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” and Future’s “Dirty Sprite 2” both reached the top spot as well.
