Drake has made chart history by becoming the first artist to simultaneously hold the top three positions on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, per billboard.com.
On the chart dated May 30, the Canadian rapper’s three new albums, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, debuted at number one, number two, and number three, respectively. All three projects were released exclusively as digital downloads on May 15.
This historic achievement is the first time an artist has occupied the entire top three concurrently since the Billboard 200 began weekly publication in March 1956. While Iceman had been teased for months, Drake surprise-announced the existence of the other two albums during a livestream on May 14, just hours before their release.
Iceman secured the top spot by earning 463,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week ending May 21, driven by 462.2 million on-demand streams. This represents the biggest streaming week of 2026 for an R&B/hip-hop album and the second-largest sales week of the year overall, behind BTS’s Arirang. Habibti and Maid of Honour followed in the second and third positions, generating 114,000 and 110,000 units, respectively.
The feat earns Drake his 15th number-one album, breaking his tie with Jay-Z for the most chart-toppers among solo male and R&B/hip-hop artists. He now shares the record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist with Taylor Swift, leaving both stars trailing only The Beatles, who hold the all-time record with 19.
The concurrent debuts have also increased Drake’s total to 20 top-10 albums on the Billboard 200, surpassing Future to make him the rap act with the highest number of top-10 entries.
Further down the chart, American rapper Lucki secured his first top-10 album as Dr*gs R Bad debuted at number nine with 51,000 units. Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide fell to number four after three weeks at the summit, though its 101,000 units marked the first time in nearly a year that the top four albums each surpassed the 100,000-unit threshold.
The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the US using multi-metric consumption data compiled by Luminate, factoring in physical and digital sales alongside audio and video streams. Drake’s total dominance of the top three places him in an exclusive tier of historical chart performance, surpassing previous multi-album debut records set by Guns N’ Roses in 1991 and Nelly in 2004.
