As expected, Drake‘s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late made an impressive entry on the Billboard 200. Going digital on Thursday night (February 12), IYRTITL has moved 535,000 units, according to Billboard. Of that number, 495,000 were from digital downloads alone. The album also marks Drake’s fourth chart-topper following 2010’s Thank Me Later (447,000), 2011’s Take Care (631,000) and 2013’s Nothing Was the Same (658,000).
