Drake Makes History, Claiming the Entire Top Three

Nobody does it like Drake. The rapper has made history on the Billboard 200, becoming the first artist ever to simultaneously hold the top three positions on the albums chart after dropping Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour all at once.

The move was vintage Drake in its theatrics. He had been teasing, Iceman for nearly two years through a series of livestreams, building anticipation to a boil. Then, on the eve of the release, he shocked fans by revealing he was dropping not one album, but three. By midnight, all three were out.

Iceman, entered the chart at No. 1 with 463,000 equivalent album units, making it Drake’s 15th No. 1 album and officially pushing past Jay-Z‘s previous record for most chart-toppers among solo male and R&B/hip-hop artists. The milestone also puts Drake level with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums among solo acts, with only the Beatles holding more at 19. Habibti and Maid of Honour followed at Nos. 2 and 3 with 114,000 and 110,000 units respectively.

The three-album drop also made Drake the most-streamed artist on both Spotify and Apple Music in a single day in 2026. Historically speaking, it’s a week the music industry won’t forget.
