Drake charts, ‘Views’ album download 4th on iTunes [Tracklist, Listen]
‘Views’ a.k.a. ‘Views from the 6’ could be No. 1 in Billboard 200
Drake a.k.a. Drizzy is charting high with his new album “Views” a.k.a. “Views from the 6.” The artist from Toronto follows Chris Stapleton (“Traveller”), Sam Hunt (“Montevallo”) and Beyoncé (“Lemonade”) in the Apple iTunes chart.
From the “Views” tracklist, “Hotline Bling” immediately took a spot in the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 chart soon after the new album was released on April 29. “Hype” and “Controlla” featuring Popcaan are still strong in the top 10 as of this writing.
“Hotline Bling” was first released in 2015, but fans are glad it is available for a good listen as a bonus track in its 2016 edition.
Fans can check out Drake’s new tracklist, listen to the new songs and download the album from his iTunes page here.

All the “Views” tracklist song and lyrics are available on EarnTheNecklace. “Fire and Desire” lyrics are particularly intriguing: Me I'm movin' quiet, all the things we're tryin' / Let's just keep it private (don't say anything) / Tell me should I cut these other girls right out of my life? / Cause we never decided / Tell me how you feel inside…
While reviews are mixed, with some analysts missing some touches of innovation, the chart ranking reveals warm acceptance from the buyers. Drake has already sold more than 770,000 copies from April 29 to May 2, Billboard reports, adding that it is likely to debut at No. 1 on the next Billboard 200 chart.
