LOS ANGELES Canadian R&B singer Drake held onto the top spot of the weekly U.S. Billboard 200 album chart for a seventh consecutive week on Monday, becoming the first male artist in more than a decade to achieve the feat, according to Billboard. Drake's album "Views" sold another 121,000 units for the week ending June 16, comprising album and song sales and more than 110 million streams, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan. Billboard said the last male artist to spend seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the album chart was rapper Eminem with "The Marshall Mathers LP," which spent eight consecutive weeks at the top of the chart in 2000.
