Drake's 'So Far Gone' Mixtape Marks His 10th Top 10 Album

Drake's 2009 mixtape So Far Gone finally arrived on Billboard's charts, debuting at #5 this week. So Far Gone's chart debut gives Drake his 10th total and consecutive top 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new March 2-dated chart (where So Far Gone debuts at No. 5) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Feb. 26.

So Far Gone, which premiered in 2009 for free, was just recently released to digital retailers and streamers. The CD release is due out on March 8.

While the full So Far Gone album never previously charted on Billboard's charts (back in 2009, an album needed to be commercially released in order to chart), a distillation of the set did reach Billboard tallies that year.

Of Drake's 10 top 10s, he has hit No. 1 eight times.
