Streaming activity contributed the most action, at 118,000 units, with 13,000 traditional album sales and a negligible number of track-equivalent sales. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 1,000 paid/subscription tier or 2,500 ad-supported tier of official on-demand audio and video streams for a song on the album.) Thanks to a 17th No. 1, Future captures his share of the first-place prize. The Temptations took the honor as the act with the most No. 1s on the chart with the group’s third leader, Gettin’ Ready , in July 1966. The Temptations stood alone for nearly 40 years, extending its record with each subsequent leader until the group’s latest, A Song for You , in May 1975. Drake equaled the group’s count with his ICEMAN album, which debuted at the summit in May; he first ruled with 2010’s Thank Me Later .
