Drake has achieved a historic sweep of the Billboard 200 albums chart dated May 30, as his three new releases — ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR — debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. It marks the first time since the Billboard 200 began publishing weekly in March 1956 that one artist has simultaneously occupied the top three positions. The feat also makes Drake the first act ever to debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 at the same time. ICEMAN leads the trio with 463,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 21, followed by HABIBTI with 114,000 and MAID OF HONOUR with 110,000.
ICEMAN gives Drake his 15th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, moving him past Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists. He now ties Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums among solo acts, with only The Beatles ahead overall at 19. Drake also extends his lead among rap artists with 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, surpassing Future’s 18. HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, like ICEMAN, were released as digital download albums only.
The bulk of ICEMAN’s first-week total came from streaming, with 449,000 SEA units, equal to 462.2 million on-demand official streams of its 18 tracks. That makes it the largest streaming week of 2026 for any album and the biggest R&B/hip-hop streaming week since Drake’s For All the Dogs in 2023. Album sales accounted for 13,000 units, while track equivalent album units contributed 1,000. HABIBTI posted 108,000 SEA units from 110.63 million streams, while MAID OF HONOUR generated 104,000 SEA units from 105.48 million streams.
The sweep pushes multiple milestones across the chart. Drake becomes only the third act ever to debut at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, after Guns N’ Roses in 1991 and Nelly in 2004. It is also the first time the top four albums on the Billboard 200 have all exceeded 100,000 units in nearly a year, with Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide holding at No. 4 with 101,000 units.
Outside Drake’s trio, LUCKI earns his first top 10 album as Dr*gs R Bad debuts at No. 9 with 51,000 equivalent album units, powered largely by streaming and supported by multiple physical variants. Elsewhere in the top 10, Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen, Michael Jackson and BTS all remain in the upper tier as the chart reflects another strong week for major releases and catalog favorites.
