Now that Drake's sophomore album, Take Care, is finally out, we can focus on the more important things, such as how many copies were sold. I'm being slightly facetious, of course, though it's interesting to see that he's expected to push 675,000 to 725,000 units in its first week. For reference, his debut, Thank Me Later, sold 462,989 copies.

Take Care's numbers will put it in third place behind Lady Gaga's Born This Way and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV in terms of first-week sales. Also, given Drake's estimated sales, he's sure to debut at number one on the Billboard Top 200. [Hits Daily Double]
