Views  (also known as Views from the 6) is the fourth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released on April 29, 2016 by OVO Sound, Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, Boy Better Know and Republic Records. It was supported by three singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance" and "Pop Style".

The album's title was first announced as Views from the 6, as it first appeared from a report in a July 2014 article from Billboard. According to Drake onTwitter, "the 6" is a reference to his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On April 28, 2016, it was revealed that the title has been shortened to Views.

On April 4, 2016, Drake released the official trailer for Views on his Twitter. Drake promoted the album by opening "pop-up" stores around the United States; in places such as New York, Miami, L.A. and Palm Springs. The stores also gave away free black and white T-shirts to fans with "Views" written on the front.

 On April 26, Drake stated that the Views would be featured over 20 songs. Following his last pop-up store stop in Toronto, where he made an appearance, Drake released his album cover on social media. The track "One Dance" was released within three weeks, before shooting a music video for the title track "Views".

On July 31, 2015, Drake released the track, "Hotline Bling" as the album's lead single. However, it was later included as a bonus track on Views (despite being present on all editions of the album). The song was produced by Nineteen85and Frank Dukes.

On April 5, 2016, Drake released two tracks, "One Dance" which was written by Virginia Galarza and "Pop Style" produced by Yordy Almonte, consecutively as the album's official singles.
