Drake and 21 Savage's Her Loss album put up 411K in its first week, exceeding projections.

It also almost knocked off a legendary album for the best first week ever for a rap collab.

That title still belongs to the JAY-Z-Kanye joint Watch The Throne, which had a 436K first week in 2011.

Third among best opening rap collabs is another Drake album -- What A Time To Be Alive with Future -- which did 375K.

Two JAY-Z and R. Kelly projects round out the top five:  Best of Both Worlds with 223K and Unfinished Business with 215K.

As for 2022 ... Her Loss ended up first-week beating albums from the likes of Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Beyonce, Future, Lil Baby, and BTS.

Her Loss is the third biggest opening of the year, with six weeks to go, only trailing the 1.6 million Taylor Swift put up for Midnights and the 522K Harry Styles did with Harry's House.
