Drake has made music chart history by becoming the first artist ever to simultaneously hold the top three positions on the albums chart with Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour.
According to Billboard, Iceman debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 463,000 equivalent album units, giving Drake his 15th No. 1 album overall.
The achievement allowed Drake to surpass Jay-Z for the most chart-topping albums among solo male and R&B/hip-hop artists.
He also tied Taylor Swift for the highest number of No. 1 albums among solo artists overall.
Only The Beatles remain ahead with 19 chart-topping albums. Iceman also recorded the second-biggest sales week of 2026, behind Arirang by BTS, which earned 641,000 equivalent units.
In addition, the album marked the biggest week of the year for an R&B/hip-hop release. Drake’s albums Habibti and Maid of Honour debuted at Nos. 2 and 3 with 114,000 and 110,000 equivalent album units respectively, completing the historic sweep.
The rapper had teased Iceman for nearly two years and intensified promotions through his Iceman livestream series, previewing unreleased tracks including What Did I Miss? and Which One featuring Central Cee.
During the final livestream before release, Drake surprised fans by announcing two additional albums before dropping all three projects simultaneously on May 15. (ANI)
