Drake’s ‘Take Care’ Projected to Return to Billboard Top 20 at No. 17 This Week

Industry trackers attribute the 2011 album’s surge to streaming rather than any reissue or anniversary campaign.

Overview

  • HITS Daily Double forecasts a little over 24,000 album-equivalent units for the week, driven largely by streams.
  • If the projection holds, it would mark the album’s highest placement in 14 years.
  • The set climbs from No. 22 last week and is logging roughly its 670th week on the Billboard 200.
  • Coverage reports no single catalyst for the spike in listening as Drake’s next project, ICEMAN, is reportedly on hold.
  • Complex reports the album as the week’s top-selling hip-hop title in the U.S., with final standings pending Billboard’s official chart.
