Two weeks after streaming helped propel Drake's album "VIEWS" into the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, streaming music has reached another milestone.
"Coloring Book," the new album by Chicago native Chance The Rapper, has debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard top 200, despite being a streaming exclusive.
In its first week, tracks from "Coloring Book" were streamed 57.3 million times, which is equivalent to 38,000 traditional album sales. The album is currently an Apple Music exclusive, but will be available on other streaming services on May 28th. There are currently no plans to release the album for sale, as Chance The Rapper has been a vocal proponent of free music.
