It’s been slow at nappyafro this week, but I got enough time to pop in and say Drake‘s Nothing Was The Same is unsurprisingly the #1 album in the country (And this was in a week that saw releases from Kings of Leon, Cher, Elton John, Metallica, & Sting). Nothing Was The Same sold 659,000 copies and is Drizzy 3rd #1 album. Check out our album review here.
In other news, Jay-Z‘s Magna Carta Holy Grail crosses the Platinum mark.
