Upon its November 4 release, Her Loss commanded the entire top 16 of Apple Music’s Top Songs Chart upon and broke the record for the largest single-day streams total for a collaboration album in Spotify history with over 97 million streams.
Aside from its commercial impact, Her Loss has generated an incredible amount of buzz thanks to the seemingly vengeful and volatile lyricism Drake injected into the joint effort.
In addition to seemingly subliminally dissing Megan Thee Stallion over her Tory Lanez shooting case, the 6 God took aim at Kanye West, DRAM and even Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian.
If Her Loss does end up securing the top spot on the Billboard 200, Drake will add yet another major accomplishment to his ever-expanding list of accolades by earning his eighth consecutive No. 1 debut and second this year alone.
Drake Seemingly Confirms Rumored $500M Record Deal
In June, the OVO boss’ dance album Honestly, Nevermind debuted atop the chart after earning 204,000 total album-equivalent units in its first-week. Before that, Certified Lover Boy opened at No. 1 after pushing a sizeable 613,000 album-equivalent units.
In total, Her Loss could potentially give Drake his 12th overall No. 1 on the Billboard 200. As for 21 Savage, it could mark his third time atop the chart following I Am > I Was and Savage Mode II, his collaboration with Metro Boomin.
