" Views is going to break the internet in half once it drops," Lawrence told Mic. So when an alleged snippet of the album was released on Twitter by the It's BizKit music site in January, Mic contacted the publication's founder in order to determine the veracity of the clip. Many music fans are on the edge of their seats for Drake's follow up to his 2013 album. Since the 2015 release, Drake has been building anticipation for the Views From The 6 album. The record was previously set by Drake's 2013 studio album Nothing Was The Same, with over 15 million streams. Billboard 200, and broke Spotify's record for most streams in a debut week with over 17 million streams within the first three days. If You're Reading This, You're Too Late debuted at number 1 on the U.S. "For the first time in his career, Drake doesn't sound like he wants to be remembered as one of the greats. "Is it an album? Is it a mixtape? Who cares? The 17 tracks that Drake released at midnight on a recent Thursday hit harder and held together more cohesively than most big-budget event albums," Simon Vozick-Levinson wrote in Rolling Stone. If You're Reading This, You're Too Late received generally positive reviews from critics. (And hopefully our eyes, if the "Hotline Bling" video is any indication of what he has in store for us.) Excuse me while I go have a lie down now to process all the amazing events that have (allegedly) taken place today.However, Drake's fans didn't seem to care either way. It makes no sense, but, if that is what's happening, on the bright side, this means even more new Drake music for our ears. Should that be our indicator that this list isn't real? I mean, why would Drake waste time putting so many singles that don't even make it onto the album that we've all been waiting on, or onto the mixtapes he's released in the interim? Based on the alleged track list, it appears that none of the Drake songs which previously leaked are included. Other collaborators listed include Rick Ross, Future, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Popcaan - which is an impressive collection of artists if the list turns out to be legit. But what have we learned from the alleged track list?Īccording to this yet to be verified track list, Beyoncé features on not one, but two whole tracks. were released feels a bit like that time I drank way too much Cherry Coke in the space of an hour. All of this happening happening on the same day that Purpose and Made In The A.M. It's basically raining Drake news at this point, and I'm screaming even if all of that news turns out to be fake in the end. So much talk of the album has only gotten me more excited, even if nothing that's happening is confirmed by Drake or his people yet.
If anything, this alleged track list leak only fuels the excitement of Beliebers today of all days ( Purpose is real, y'all!), as track 9 on Views From The 6 apparently features Justin Bieber himself, on a song called "Smeared." However, Bustle reached out to Drake's representatives, who said that they can't confirm information about the album at this time.įriday also saw a tweet hint at the release date of Views From The 6, suggesting the album will be out on January 6 2016. Following the Internet-mania that the "Hotline Bling" video caused, inspiring a million parodies and spoofs, anticipation for the album has only grown, with fans excited to find out who Drake's worked with on his newest record. As if there wasn't already enough excitement on Friday, with both Justin Bieber and One Direction dropping their albums on the same date, now it looks like the track list for Views From The 6, Drake's forthcoming album, might have been leaked.
