Drake might be on his way to securing another chart-topping record. According to sources, the OVO founder’s compilation album Care Package is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, raking in between 100,000 to 120,000 units including 15,000 to 18,000 physical album sales.

If the numbers are correct, Care Package will mark Drizzy’s sixth No. 1 debut project, following all five of his studio albums — 2010’s Thank Me Later with 447,000 units, 2011’s Take Care with 631,000 units, 2013’s Nothing Was the Same with 658,000 units, 2015’s Views with 852,000 units and 2018’s Scorpion with 732,000 units.

Meanwhile, Lil Durk’s Love Songs 4 The Streets 2 is expected to follow at No. 2 with 35,000 to 40,000 units.
