Drake and Future released their joint mixtape, What A Time To Be Alive, last night on iTunes and Apple Music at 8 PM. Though the project is less than 24 hours old, some outlets are already suggesting that it will top 500,000 in sales its first week. Hits Daily Double credits its information to anonymous "label insiders," while Chart News currently doesn't have a source for its estimate.
