About Drake
Aubrey Graham left his role on the teen drama Degrassi in 2007 to pursue rap full-time, releasing independent projects Room for Improvement, Comeback Season, and So Far Gone before signing to Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment in 2009. His debut album Thank Me Later arrived in 2010 and hit number one immediately, followed by Take Care in 2011, which earned his first Grammy for Best Rap Album. Nothing Was the Same solidified his commercial and critical standing in 2013, while 2015 brought two significant mixtapes: the trap-inflected If You're Reading This It's Too Late and the collaborative What A Time To Be Alive with Future.
Views in 2016 marked a shift toward dancehall and marked a commercial peak, spending 13 nonconsecutive weeks at number one and becoming the first album by a male solo artist to achieve that feat in over a decade. The album's singles "Hotline Bling" and "One Dance" dominated charts and awards seasons, with the latter becoming his first lead-artist number-one hit. Views moved four million copies domestically and established Drake's dominance across Billboard's Hot 100, Hot Rap Songs, and streaming metrics. Subsequent releases More Life in 2017 and the double album Scorpion in 2018 continued his streak of consecutive number-one debuts, with Scorpion producing multiple number-one singles including "God's Plan." Drake has sold over 170 million records worldwide and holds the most charted songs in Billboard Hot 100 history among solo artists.
The Groove Hunter currently tracks 5 editions of Drake's vinyl releases, including Views, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, What A Time To Be Alive, Scorpion, and Take Care, offering collectors reference points across the pressings available on Amazon US.
