Drake's Sophmore Album Take Care tops the Billboard 100

As expected Drakes Sophmore effort Take Care which was released November 15th through Young Money Records opened at number one with 631,000 moved in is first week. Take Care had been leaked on the internet 8 days prior to the release date to positive reviews which made it obvious to many Drake did not have no Sophmore slump in his hands. The projection was that he would move 700-750 while he did not quiet get to that mark his album is the 3rd biggest opening this year after Lady Gaga  Born This Way that moved 1.1 Million and his Boss Lil Wayne who moved 964,00 with Tha Carter IV. Take Care follows his debut album Thank Me Later which opened at number one last June with 447,000 units moved. The album that came in second was Canadian singer Michael Buble's album Christmas which moved 165,000 units. I have listened to Take Care many times in its one week release at it is an amazing piece of work he covers a lot of emotions on it. Him going to his native Toronto to record the album definetly shows as it feels the album felt just right had al ot of emotion and a lot of Canadian swag and phrases.
