Drake has made history by becoming the first artist to have the top three slots on the US albums chart. His albums Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour debuted at Nos. 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Iceman, which Drake had been teasing for almost two years, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, giving him his 15th chart-topper and surpassing Jay-Z's previous record for the most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists. Drake now ties with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1s among solo acts, only behind the Beatles with their 19 No. 1s.
Iceman had the second-largest sales week of 2026 for an album, following BTS's Arirang, and it also had the biggest week of the year for an R&B/hip-hop record. Following Iceman on the chart are Habibti and Maid of Honour at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
In a surprise move on May 14, Drake announced that he was releasing not one, but three new albums simultaneously. On the Billboard 200, Noah Kahan's The Great Divide was bumped down from No. 1 to 4, followed by Ella Langley's Dandelion. Notably, there are currently two Michael Jackson albums in the Top 10.
