Drake‘s latest EP Scary Hours 2 is projected to open with big numbers on next week’s Billboard charts.

According to HITS Daily Double, the EP’s three tracks — “What’s Next,” “Wants and Needs” with Lil Baby and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” with Rick Ross — could possibly sell a combined 1 million units in its first week with 140 to 170 million streams. DJ Akademiks also added that Scary Hours 2 is looking to debut with an estimated 110,000 total equivalent album units, giving it a fighting chance to open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Chart Data shared that “What’s Next” is “currently pacing” for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

Scary Hours 2 dropped earlier this March 2021 and can be seen as a prelude to Drizzy’s delayed studio album, Certified Lover Boy. A release date for the full-length project is yet to be announced, but Ak claimed that he was told by the 6 God himself that CLB will be dropping by April 2021.

In related news, Drake and his OVO Sound imprint relaunched OVO Sound Radio with a 24-hour channel on SiriusXM.
