With ‘HABIBTI,’ Drake Sets New Record For Most No. 1 Albums on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

The superstar breaks from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the crown.

Drake expands to his arsenal of records on Billboard’s charts, claiming the trophy as the artist with the most No. 1 titles on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart outright. The hitmaker’s HABIBTI rockets to the summit after the release of its HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe edition to secure his 18th champ, breaking from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the highest total among all acts since the list launched in January 1965.

HABIBTI (FOMO) dropped on Oct. 2, adding four new cuts – “Solar Eclipse” (with Don Toliver), “Quebec,” “Cold Shoulder” (with Don Toliver and Yebba) and “Classic Pt 2” – to the album’s original 11-song track list. Spurred by its expansion, the album soars 35-1 to lead the list dated Oct. 17, with 71,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States for the tracking week of Oct. 2-8, according to Luminate, up 506% from its total the prior week. (All versions of the album are combined for data tracking and chart purposes.)
