The album is out and fans are raving over it. Drake’s newly released Nothing Was the Same LP is set to make a big splash on Billboard’s album charts next week. According to HitsDailyDouble, the Canadian rap star’s third solo effort will debut at No. 1 with an estimated 675-725,000 copies opening week. The feat would make NWTS the highest-selling debut for a rap album in 2013, and second overall to Justin Timberlake’s 968,000 units sold with The 20/20 Experience.
His third No. 1 album will easily eclipse 2011′s Take Care and 2010′s Thank Me Later, which moved 631,000 and 447,000 units respectively opening week.
