Drake album chased Beyounce album


Drake's new albumViews has racked up more than half-a-billion streams.
The 29-year-old rapper has broken streaming records in each of the three weeks his new album has been on sale, beating that of BeyoncĂ©'s album Lemonade which pulled in 115 million streams when it was released in April.
In its first week, Views was streamed 245 million times - when it was only available on Apple Music.
The following week it got 141 million streams before shooting up to 185 million streams last week when it was released across other streaming services.
The album has stacked up a total of 572 million streams in the US alone.
As a result, Drake has overtaken Justin Bieber to become the most-streamed artist on Spotify and to top off his success, he landed his first US number one when singleOne Dance reached the top spot last week - although Justin Timberlake has since pushed him off the top spot with his new singleCan't Stop This Feeling.
Meanwhile, over in the UK, Views was number one in the album chart the same week as One Dance hit the top of the singles charts.
Fans can catch Drake on tour in the US with Future, Roy Woods and DVSN between July and October but he is yet to announce any UK shows for Views.

Two Eritreans who arrived safely in Sicily told The Associated Press on Sunday how the sea kept seeping into their rickety fishing boat despite all efforts to bail the water out. Eventually, the sea prevailed. Between 400 and 550 on their smugglers' boat didn't make it, part of the estimated 700 migrants who perished in Mediterranean Sea shipwrecks over three days last week in the deadliest known tally in over a year, as calm weather and sunny skies increased smuggling crossings from Libya. "When the morning came, I saw how the children were crying and the women," Habtom Tekle, a 27-year-old Eritrean, told the AP through an interpreter. "At this point I only tried to pray. Everybody was trying to take the water out of boat." The rickety wooden boat without an engine was being towed by another smug...

Michael Jackson's nephews suing Radar Online for saying the late post star molested them

Friday, July 29, 2016 Miles Abah at 9:21 AM Michael Jackson's nephews suing Radar Online for saying the late post star molested them Michael Jackson's nephews, Taj, TJ and Taryll Jackson, part of the 90s boy band popularly known as 3T, just slapped Radar Online with a $100 million libel lawsuit, after the online tabloid reported that Michael Jackson molested young boys and that his nephews were among the victims. Radar also claimed the nephews had been given extravagant gifts by their late uncle and other relatives in the know, to buy their silence and that one of them was even kidnapped to keep him from making a statement against Michael Jackson to police. The suit calls Radar's claims false and defamatory
