The rapper beat Post Malone's three-week run for beerbongs & bentleys in May. The last album to spend four straight weeks at No. 1 was The Weeknd's Starboy from January 21 to February 11 in 2017. Scorpion is the first album to spend its opening four weeks at No. 1 since 2016, when Drake's last album Views peaked at the top of the Billboard 200 chart for nine consecutive weeks.

At 25 weeks total at No. 1 in his career, Drake now ties Jay-Z for the second-most weeks at No. 1 among rappers. Eminem currently has the most total weeks at No. 1 out of any rapper with 32.
