TOP 15: BLINK TO TOPPLE DRAKE (UPDATE)

Drake’s reign at #1 will come to end after nine weeks, as BMG’s Blink-182 prepares to take the #1 spot on our Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) and Sales charts. The men of Blink are also on track to surpass sales of their last album, 2011's Neighborhoods.Drake’s run at the top has been the longest number of consecutive weeks at #1 since Adele’s 21, which spent 10 weeks on top in early 2012. He will almost certainly return to #1 SPS the following week.
