In its first week of release last November, Red (Taylor’s Version) launched atop the Billboard 200 chart with 605,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week – which means that Red (Taylor’s Version) earned 72% more equivalent album units in its debut week than the original Red has earned over the past six months.įearless (Taylor’s Version), Swift’s first re-recorded album, accomplished a similar feat compared to the original Fearless, earning more equivalent album units in its first week of release (291,000) than the 2008 original earned in its first full year going head-to-head with the re-recorded album (242,000). Its going to be a lot to take in, so everybody, just take it slow and don't get too excited - nobody wants to pop a blood vessel.From its release day through the most recent tracking week, Red (Taylor’s Version) has earned 1.56 million equivalent album units, according to Luminate, while the original Red has earned 351,000 equivalent album units over that same time period. April 29 is going to be a big day for Drake enthusiasts, what with the album release and the ticket sales. Hopefully, we will get samples of Drake's Canada-loving album on his upcoming Summer Sixteen Tour (tickets go on sale April 29 as well, and I'm just casually mentioning right now that my birthday is coming up very soon). Artistic credit for the album goes to Caitlin Cronenberg, the photographer and Nicky Orenstein, the art director.

Drizzy graced us with the album art on his Instagram Sunday the 24, and it is pretty epic looking and very Canada-themed. But the meaning behind the Views From the 6 album art is even more Canada-heavy.

The title of the album, which is rumored to be coming out on April 29, is a direct reference to the area codes of Toronto, 416 and 647.

Drake is taking his Canadian-ness to the next level with his album Views From The 6, and I'm not mad about it.
