Apple has a two week exclusive on the album release.

While impressive, sales were not enough for Dr. Dre to debut at #1 on Billboard. That honor went to country music's Luke Bryan.

Dr. Dre's stream stats were hurt by the exclusion of Spotify. Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,” released in earlier this year had 48 million streams in its first week, and Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” had nearly 39 million, according to the [New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/17/business/media/new-dr-dre-album-serves-as-a-test-for-apple-music.html?%5Fr=2&ref=hypebot.com).
