Drake once again takes the top spot of Billboard 200. Nielsen Music reports that the rapper's "Views" is spending a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the chart with another 189,000 units that include 50,000 in traditional album sales.

It now has the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a male artist in four years, since Michael Buble's "Christmas" spent 5 consecutive weeks atop the list in December 2011-January 2012. The latest non-holiday project by a male artist to have more weeks at No. 1 was Eminem's "Recovery" with a total of seven weeks.

As Drake's "Views" continues to rule Billboard 200, Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" and Blake Shelton's "If I'm Honest" bow at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. The petite songbird's third studio installment arrives with 175,000 units (129,000 in pure album sales). This is her first time to have missed the chart's top slot as her previous albums, 2013's "Yours Truly" and 2014's "My Everything", all reached No. 1.

As for Shelton, his latest opus opens with 170,000 units. With 153,000 in traditional album sales, it lands at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and gives the country crooner his best sales week since 2013's "Based on a True Story..." that launched with 199,000.

Beyonce Knowles' "Lemonade" falls two rungs to No. 4 with 99,000 while Rihanna's "Anti" is stationary at No. 5 with 48,000.

Eric Clapton's "I Still Do" is the third record to debut on this week's Billboard 200. The singer collects his 16th top 10 album as his newest effort comes with 46,000 units. Another veteran entertainer Bob Dylan follows behind as his "Fallen Angels" debuts at No. 7 with 42,000, posting the musician's 22nd top 10 album.

Meghan Trainor's "Thank You" plunges from last week's No. 3 to this week's No. 8 with another 39,000 in its second week. Adele's "25" returns to the top 10, jumping six rungs to No. 9 with 36,000. Mudcrutch's "2" closes out the top 10 with 33,000. The band, which is led by Tom Petty, previously visited the region in 2008 with their self-titled debut set that peaked at No. 8 with 38,000 copies.
