Drake sets record as first artist to fill all top three US album chart slots


Share this post

Drake has become the first artist to hold the top three slots on the US albums chart.
Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour debuted at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Iceman, the album that Drake had been teasing for nearly two years, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, earning him his 15th chart-topper and besting Jay-Z's previous record for most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists.

Drake ties Taylor Swift for most No. 1s among solo acts, behind only the Beatles with their record 19 No. 1s.

Iceman scored the second-largest sales week of 2026 for an album behind BTS's Arirang, 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 respectively.

Drake released Iceman on 15 May. He began teasing it back in July 2025 with the first episode of his Iceman livestream series, where he debuted the songs What Did I Miss? and Which One featuring Central Cee.

On 14 May he made the surprise announcement that he was dropping not one, but three new albums simultaneously.

Elsewhere on the Billboard 200, Noah Kahan's The Great Divide was bumped down from No. 1 to 4, followed by Ella Langley's Dandelion.

There are currently two Michael Jackson albums in the Top 10.
