Drake's VIEWS has been sitting comfortably in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 Chart for nine weeks now, making it the hip-hop album for the third-most weeks in the top slot. However, VIEWS was dethroned this past week by Blink-182's California, which is the band's second album to debut at No. 1. and first to do so in 15 years, after 2001's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
