Drake Beats Taylor Swift On The Albums Chart With Multiple Comebacks
Drake and Taylor Swift often trade places when it comes to which artist claims the most real estate on the Billboard 200. Sometimes it's the hip-hop superstar, while at other times, the singer-songwriter takes the crown. This frame, Drake occupies the most spots on the ranking of the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the U.S. — but not by much. He edges out the female powerhouse by just one placement, as two of his projects return to the tally. A pair of Drake albums bounce back onto the Billboard 200 this week, landing almost side by side. Thank Me Later returns at No. 187 on the 200-spot ranking, which blends sales and streaming activity. More Life follows close behind at No. 189. According to Luminate, just 10 equivalent units separate the two titles. Both collections moved between 8,480 and 8,500 equivalent units in the past tracking frame, with pure sales making up a tiny fraction of those numbers. One managed almost 20 pure purchases, while the other didn't even crack double digits. Drake lays claim to eight positions on the Billboard 200 this week. Most of his collections are climbing, while a handful remain steady. His collaborative set with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, is still his highest-rising effort. That's unsurprising, as it's only been on the roster for 10 weeks, and it is still being promoted with a slew of big singles. That project holds at No. 5. Another reliable performer, For All the Dogs, is stationary at No. 93. Meanwhile, Take Care lifts to No. 40, Views rises to No. 79, Certified Lover Boy ascends to No. 101, and Scorpion moves up to No. 134. Taylor Swift fills seven spaces on the Billboard 200 this frame – just one fewer than Drake. In most weeks, that would be more than enough for her to dominate, but the rapper's resurgence gives him the edge this time around. Swift appears on the list with The Tortured Poets Department (No. 11), Lover (No. 52), Folklore (No. 64), Midnights (No. 65), 1989 (Taylor's Version) (No. 70), Reputation (No. 115) and Red (Taylor's Version) (No. 159).

More Life review – death-cheating tech drama is incredibly human
What makes a life? Kandinsky theatre company's bruising sci-fi drama sweeps us thrillingly from 1803, when scientists electrocute a corpse to simulate stuttering new life, to 2074, when private tech companies experiment with downloading brain scans of the dead to infallible new bodies. A smartly composed exploration of greed, loss and the loneliness of eternity, More Life is an incredibly human play about technology. Victor (Marc Elliott) is our futuristic Frankenstein, a bulldozing consultant obsessed with progress, preservation and a dead woman he hopes will be the first success in his company's experiments. As Vic brings Bridget (Alison Halstead) to a kind of life, the wonderfully precise ensemble watches as she tries on her new body. Under James Yeatman's delicate direction, the voice is dislocated, alienating the physical form. Halstead is wonderful here, estranged from her own body, limbs suddenly stiff and unknown. Shankho Chaudhuri's set, surprisingly chameleonic for something so orange, resembles what someone in the 70s would imagine the future to look like. We are surely foolish to think we can predict our future more accurately today. Written by Lauren Mooney (dramaturgy by Mooney and Gillian Greer), the story is inspired by the investments of Silicon Valley tech bros, but the ensemble's squabbles over details reveal how uncertain we remain about what lies ahead. Most of Kandinsky's work began at New Diorama under David Byrne, now artistic director of the Royal Court. More Life is a bright indication of the vision he brings with him. The pace drops in the second half, but there's so much to engage with. Beyond intellectual and ethical debates, this play stabs at the heart. Tim McMullan roils as Bridget's husband, unable to cope with the shock of her return. He gazes at her as one would an old videotape. Helen Schlesinger is softly stern as his second wife, host to this uncomfortable reckoning and aching for her own eternity. The show's working title was Meat Sacks, a phrase transhumanists use to refer to our material forms. By interrogating the possibility of cheating hunger, pain and death, Kandinsky illuminate what we lose in conquering immortality, and reveal a kind of wonder in these saggy, exhausted, ravenous meat sacks of ours. At the Royal Court, London, until 8 March
