Drake's 'Scorpion' Has Now Spent More Weeks at No. 1 Than Any Album in 2018

Earning 184,000 equivalent album units, 'Scorpion' holds onto its No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the fourth week in a row. The achievement bests Post Malone's three-week run for 'beerbongs & bentleys' in May, making 'Scorpion' the album with the most weeks atop the charts in all of 2018.

Another week, another commercial milestone for Drake's newest album, Scorpion.

Earning 184,000 equivalent album units, Scorpion holds onto its No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the fourth week in a row. The achievement bests Post Malone's three-week run for beerbongs & bentleys in May, making Scorpion the album with the most weeks atop the charts in all of 2018.

The last album to spend four straight weeks at No. 1 was The Weeknd's Starboy between January 21 and February 11 in 2017. Scorpion is the first album to spend its opening four weeks at No. 1 since Drake's Views sat at the top of the Billboard 200 for nine consecutive weeks back in 2016.

Drake now has 25 total weeks at No. 1 in his career, tying JAY-Z for the second-most weeks at No. 1 among rappers. Eminem currently has the most total weeks at No. 1 for a rapper, with 32.

This top of this week's Billboard 200 remains relatively steady from last week, as zero new albums debuted in the top 10. Post Malone's beerbongs & bentleys follows Scorpion at No. 2, the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again soundtrack is No. 3, XXXTentacion's ? is No. 4, and Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy stays steady at No. 5. The highest-charting debut this week is The Internet's Hive Mind at No. 26.
