Meek Mill’s Dreams Worth More Than Money is currently atop the Billboard 200 chart as the number one record in the United States. However, that’s not the most interesting thing to happen on the charts this week. Dr. Dre’s The Chronic is number 72 on the chart, which is notable, since the album came out in 1992.
It has been over 20 years since The Chronic was last on the charts, so what’s happened to get the debut album from Mr. Beats himself back on the charts? Apple Music, of course. The album is available digitally for the first time since 2011, meaning a lot of people who couldn’t get a hold of it, or didn’t want to get a used hard copy or whatever, can pick up The Chronic once again. It was number 23 on the digital charts, selling 6,000 copies that way. However, it sold 8,000 copies total, so clearly some people are still buying it in other venues.
It turns out that Dr. Dre doesn’t even need to finally release Detox to get back on the charts.
