Drake has officially tied with Taylor Swift and Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, achieving his 14th chart-topper with the release of his collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, alongside PartyNextDoor. The album debuted at No. 1 after selling 246,000 equivalent album units, including 25,000 from pure sales, and features themes of love and personal introspection.
