Kanye West Is Still No. 1 Whether Drake Likes It Or Not
OVO Sound boss Drake might be a Certified Lover Boy but he’s not the top global artist in the game right now. His on-again, off-again mentor and idol Kanye West is holding it down with the crown as the top Global Digital Artist at the moment.
Kanye West Is No. 1 - Sorry Drake
According to reports, the artist formerly known as Kanye West - simply going by ‘Ye’ these days - is the top global artist in the digital sphere. We’re not just talking hip-hop, this includes all genres.
Drake Is Still Selling Big
But don’t feel too bad for Drake. He still manages to secure a Top 5 spot in the rundown - notably the No. 4 position in-between Ed Sheeran and Doja Cat. What’s even more exciting is just how well his Certified Lover Boy album is performing.
After moving an astronomical 633K in its first week, it looks like Drake's sixth studio album will remain at the top of the chart for a second week in a row. According to HitsDailyDouble, Drake's Certified Lover Boy has sold another 233K in its second week which pushes the albums streaming numbers towards one billion across all DSPs. (HNHH)
Kanye West Drops Nearly $60 Million On Dream Home
Whether it’s topping the Global Artist list or competing to have the top album in the country, Ye is living the G.O.O.D life to say the least. New reports claim he’s dropped $57.25 million on an epic-looking Malibu, California dream home.
And although the 3,665-square-foot, concrete-heavy house is designed by award-winning starchitect Tadao Ando, it wasn’t impressing the social media masses when Dirt.com broke the news Sunday night. “Kanye living in a parking garage,” one wrote on Zillow Gone Wild’s Instagram page Monday morning. “He loves the abandoned clinic look,” wrote another commenter, while a third added, “Looks like a high-end bunker for a cult leader.” (New York Post)
