Music producer and social media star DJ Khaled scored his first
chart-topping album on the weekly US Billboard 200 album chart on
Monday, ousting Canadian R&B artist Drake.
DJ
Khaled’s “Major Key” album sold 59,000 albums, 80,000 songs and was
streamed nearly 42 million times in the past week, totaling 95,000 album
units, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
The
album features songs with artists including Drake, Jay Z and Nicki
Minaj. DJ Khaled is popular on social media, dropping daily snippets of
wisdom on Snapchat.
After 12 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, Drake’s “Views” was pushed to No. 2 this week with 80,000 album units sold.
The
Billboard 200 album chart tallies units from album sales, song sales
(10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams equal
one album).
Other new entries in the top 10
of the Billboard 200 chart include country singer Jake Owen’s “American
Love” at No. 4, R&B singer Fantasia’s “Definition Of...” at No. 6
and country singer Hillary Scott and The Scott Family’s “Love Remains”
at No. 7.
On the Digital Songs chart, which
measures online single download sales, pop track “Closer” by The
Chainsmokers featuring Halsey debuted at No. 1 with 103,000 copies sold.
