Drake on Monday became the first artist to release an album this year that has sold more than one million copies in the United States, ending the latest industry drought.
Tracking service Nielsen Music said, the Canadian rapper's If You're Reading This It's Too Late, which he put out digitally without prior warning in February, has sold 1.007 million copies as of the week ending Friday.
In a sign of the growing dominance of digital music, Drake - a close collaborator of Apple - released If You're Reading This It's Too Late on iTunes two months before physical copies hit stores.
