Drake has officially made Billboard history, and this time it is not just about another No. 1 album. The rapper’s three new albums, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, have debuted at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart at the same time. This makes Drake the first artist ever to hold the top three album spots in the same week since the chart began publishing weekly in 1956. All three projects were released on May 15, with Iceman leading the pack at No. 1. The album earned 463,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its first week, making it the second-biggest album week of 2026 and the biggest week of the year for an R&B or hip-hop project.
Habibti followed at No. 2 with 114,000 units, while Maid of Honour debuted at No. 3 with 110,000 units. All three albums were mainly powered by streaming, with Iceman alone pulling in more than 462 million official on-demand streams for its 18 tracks.
This also gives Drake his 15th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, pushing him past Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums among solo male artists and R&B or hip-hop acts. He is now tied with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums among solo artists. Only The Beatles remain ahead with 19 No. 1 albums.
The achievement is even bigger because Habibti and Maid of Honour were not heavily promoted before release. While fans had been waiting for Iceman for months, Drake only revealed the other two albums during a livestream shortly before all three dropped together.
With this chart takeover, Drake now has 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, making him the rap artist with the most top 10 albums in the chart’s history.
Iceman also scored the biggest streaming week of 2026 so far, proving that Drake’s dominance on streaming platforms is still unmatched. The only albums to post bigger recent numbers in the genre were major releases from The Weeknd and Travis Scott.
The rest of the Billboard 200 top 10 still had strong names, including Noah Kahan, Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen, Michael Jackson, BTS and LUCKI, who earned his first top 10 album with Dr*gs R Bad.
But this week clearly belongs to Drake. Dropping three albums at once could have easily split attention, but instead, he turned it into a historic chart moment. With Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, Drake has once again proved that even after years at the top, he still knows how to completely dominate the conversation.
