Rapper Drake didn't accomplish the one million first week sales he anticipated moving but will be credited with the highest selling album for the 2010 year thus far with his debut album "Thank Me Later." According to Soundscan, Toronto's native , http://www.urbanworldtv.com/article.php?id=3366

Come on . . . for a debut album in this torrent era, that's exceptional.

Besides Eminem sales on Relapse just proves that he doesn't need to drop sumn good to sell records.

I'm not implying that Drake didn't try. I just think it's too early to say he has the highest selling album of the year especially when Eminem just dropped his own record too

I disagree with @eldee because
Artist usually have their highest sales early in their career, they tend to start fallin in sales when pple start getting tired of their styles, c the hype drake has behind him, u only have this kind of hype once in ur career.
Relapse lyrics wasn't below par, the accents spoilt it for me
Eminem is projected to sell 700k.

Nah . . . in recent times, your first album is usually the one that people don't trust.
You only get a good fanbase after that. . . Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and other big sellers of the 2000s did better after their debut efforts.

Drake's sales are super-impressive, 50Cent sold 872,000 before the days of piracy.

Actually nah, Drake had way too much buzz so you can't blame the listeners. Through out last year, pesin no hear word. Drake this, Drake that. Guest appearances, endorsements by bigger artists, a good record label, he even performed his song at the Grammy's, everybody was so looking forward to the album. It really looked like this album was gonna blow up more. So that issue of trust doesn't apply with him. I still think 450k is okay for him tho. If he wanted more, then enu e ti fe niyen

That's nice.

Pop sells.
