Drake has become the first artist to hold the top three slots on the albums chart as “Iceman,” “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour” debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
“Iceman,” the album that Drake had been teasing for nearly two years before its release, enters the Billboard 200 at No. 1 with 463,000 equivalent album units and earns him his 15th chart-topper, besting Jay-Z’s previous record for most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists.
Drake also ties Taylor Swift for most No. 1s among solo acts, only behind the Beatles with their record 19 No. 1s.
“Iceman” marks the second-largest sales week of 2026 for an album behind BTS’ “Arirang” (641,000 units), and the biggest week of the year for a R&B/hip-hop record.
Behind “Iceman” are “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour” at Nos. 2 and 3, earning 114,000 and 110,000 units, respectively.
