NEW RELEASES: DRAKE'S HONEST SURPRISE

Drake's surprise album, Honestly, Nevermind (OVO/Republic), is headed for a #1 opening in the 210-230k range. The dance/club project—a curveball from the rhythmic-hit king—is expected to finish the week in the same neighborhood as his Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape, which opened with 223k in 2020 and has amassed a total of 1.7m in activity to date. Honestly streamed 61m worldwide at Spotify on Friday.

Drake (OVO/Republic): 210-230k
