Overall, Views has sold over 121,000 copies before June 16, Nielsen Music revealed. That figure was down 10% compared to the album sales for the previous week.
The Billboard 200 chart tracks the performance of albums in the United States using three parameters: traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums.
Last week Views enjoyed 110.5 million online streams, which is equivalent to 74,000 units. The record also sold over 27,000 copies.
Drake is the first male singer to have an album that remained in the top spot for seven straight weeks. Eminem achieved the feat 16 years ago, with his album The Marshall Mathers LP remaining at No. 1 from June 10-July 29, 2000.
Adele was the last performer to spend seven straight weeks at No. 1. Her album 25 debuted at No. 1 on Dec. 12, 2015.
Nick Jonas's solo effort Last Year was Complicated surpassed the No. 3 peak of Who I Am (Jonas with The Administration) and the No. 6 achievement of his self-titled album. Jonas's new album sold 66,000 units, 47,000 of which are traditional album sales.
