    Thank Me Later

    On the first stop of his debut headline tour, "Away From Home"

    billboard.com/music/music-news/drake-debut-pushed-back-to-june-15th-958709

    He also performed Fireworks for the first time.
    Sidenote: I was there. Amazing.

    Take Care

    Upon dropping the insant classic "Marvins Room" - Drake announces Take Care will be coming on his birthday, October 24th.
    octobersveryown.blogspot.com/2011/06/marvins-room.html

    He would later post to the OVO Blogspot that it had been delayed 3 weeks
    octobersveryown.blogspot.com/2011/10/take-care-november-15.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

    The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week...see you all soon.

    Nothing Was the Same

    Drake drops a 4pack - The Motion, Versace Remix, Over Here, Jodeci Freestyle on the OVO Blog and lists the release date as September 17th.

    Would also maybe add the announced CLB for summer 2020, then trailer for Jan 2021, before delaying to September 2021.

    More Life was announced on his birthday in 2016 to drop December 2016 before being delayed as well.

  • Sep 6, 2023

    Every single one that isn’t a surprise drop being delayed

  • Sep 6, 2023

    A glaring omission is More Life being announced on OVO Sound Radio during the 2016 birthday show where he dropped Sneakin, Fake Love, and Wanna Know Remix.

    Other than that great timeline
