DRAKE'S DISCOUNT DECISION

YMCMB/Republic’s Drake will edge Warner Bros.’ Red Hot Chili Peppers to score a record-breaking eighth consecutive week on the HITS Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) chart today, thanks to a two-day $6.99 discount on all DSPs that pushed him past the Peppers by around 5k units (the sale added 8k in incremental units, without which he'd have landed at #2). Here's how it looks:

Drake (YMCMB/Republic) 121k SPS
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Warner Bros.) 116k SPS

RHCP will still have the #1 spot on our Album Sales chart; stay tuned for the full chart rundowns later today. Barring any massive surprises, Drake will have a ninth #1 on the SPS chart next week.
