The Beats mogul’s third album is a hit for Apple.

Dr. Dre’s Compton: The Soundtrack was streamed 25 million times in its first week on Apple Music and sold half a million downloads through iTunes.

Apple executives reported the figures to the New York Times, but the publication didn’t specify whether the number was made up from complete listens to the whole album or if it included people who listened to individual songs.

The album remains an Apple exclusive for now, only available for stream on Apple Music and digitally through iTunes. The numbers are impressive considering that the album is limited to Apple’s platform, but Compton still lags behind Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, which was streamed 39 million times in its first week online, and Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, which racked up 48 million streams.

Meanwhile, on Saturday’s episode of Beats 1 radio show The Pharmacy, Dr. Dre announced that rapping wasn’t really his thing after all.

“I’ve never considered myself a rapper,” he said. “I know how to do it. I know how to make my voice project and I know how to stay on beat and what have you, but I’ve never considered myself a rapper. I’m a producer at heart. I like being in the control room and directing people. That’s what I do. But I’ve gotten on the mic a few times in my career, people seem to like it, so I’ll do it again here and there. But that’s really not my thing. So I’ll do a first verse on the record, then I’ll put the really talented rapper on the second verse.”
