Drake’s quasi-mixtape _If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late_ at Number Four and Taylor Swift’s _1989_ at Number Five. Last week’s champ, Imagine Dragons’ _Smoke + Mirrors,_ nearly pulled off

a disappearing act in which they fell from the Number One spot to out of the Top 10, but the Las Vegas band instead settled at Number Nine. Only one more debut managed to register in the

upper echelon of the Billboard 200: Tyga and Chris Brown’s collaborative _Fan of a Fan_, which landed at Number Seven with 67,000 copies sold.
