Drake and PartyNextDoor’s new album is already setting records less than a week of its official release.
Released on February 14, Some Sexy Songs 4 U has already broken the record for the biggest R&B/soul album in Apple Music’s history by first-day streams worldwide.
The joint album marks Drake’s first release since his For All the Dogs dropped in 2023. The LP is also the rapper’s major project since the beginning of his rap battle and feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The LP is also a follow-up to PartyNextDoor’s P4 project dropped in 2024.
Drake had earlier over the week brought out PND for his Melbourne concert as part of his Anita Max Wynn Tour.
“I got an album coming out on Feb. 14 with my brother PartyNextDoor,” Drake told the crowd. “It’s called $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, but it’s some turned-up songs for you on there, too, and there’s some personal feelings on there for you. Hopefully, whoever you’re with on Valentine’s Day, hopefully y’all can share that experience together.”
Drake also revealed the cover art for $$$4U, which features both artists rocking fur coats in front of the Marilyn Monroe Towers in Canada.
On tracks like “Come and See Me,” “Recognize,” “Members Only,” “Loyal,” “Preach, “Since Way Back,” and others, the duo has long demonstrated their strong chemistry.
