Here is this week's Luminate Data Market Watch report which features Canadian music stats for the current week and YTD with comparisons to last year. This chart is published every Tuesday. The abbreviation "TEA" is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs.
Drake at the World Premiere of 'Amsterdam' held at Alice Tully Hall on Sept. 18, 2022, in New York City.
Will 2026 be the year of the Iceman?
The Iceman appears to be defrosting. Drake delivered a cryptic message of disappointment via an Instagram carousel early Friday (Jan. 9) for those who admire him.
“I was expecting people who look up to me to look me in the eyes too I thought that’s the least they could do,” he wrote in what sounds like a possible bar off his next album. “But I was wrong about them like I was wrong about you.”
The photo dump is filled with more mysterious messages that could be tied to Iceman, as it always feels like there’s something deeper to decode with Drizzy’s posts.
“It’s time to move on, isn’t it?” one slide reads. There are a couple of photos of Drake hanging with his old friend and college football phenom, Johnny “Football” Manziel.
He gives a hat-tip to author Fran Lebowitz with a funny message about life and exacting revenge. “I have two main activities in life. Smoking and plotting revenge,” the image is captioned.
Drake has shown an affinity for being a cinephile from time to time, and another slide showed love to a popular question from High Fidelity‘s John Cusack: “What came first, the music or the misery?”
Separately, the 6 God stoked the flame of Iceman hype with a post to his Instagram Story following a hilariously random photo of Rory from the Rory & Mal podcast. “Iceman is Drake,” the logo reads.
This is all to say that Iceman remains without a release date, but it feels like the OVO boss may be inching closer to his first solo album since 2023’s For All the Dogs.
