Drake's The F***ing Best


Drake's first full-length studio album Thank Me Later sold a seismic 447,000 copies this week, easily putting him at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, earning him the third biggest sales week of the year.

Pretty impressive for the former Degrassi star. Over the past year and half Drake has been one of the biggest names in hip hop, and this hefty debut only helps to cement his status as one of the hottest new rappers around.

Coming in at #2 this week is the latest album from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers with their set Mojo. The CD sold 125,000 copies, giving Petty his best opening week ever.

Here's a rundown of the top 10 albums of the week:

1. Drake Thank Me Later (477,000)

2. Tom Petty Mojo (125,000)

3. Sarah McLachlan Laws of Illusion (94,000)

4. Now 34 (88,000)

5. Jack Johnson To The Sea (68,000)

6. Eclipse Soundtrack (55,000)

7. Justin Bieber My World 2.0 (47,000)

8. Lady Antebellum Need You Now (40,000)
