Drake
He also returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100.
Drake returns with another blockbuster week on Billboard’s charts (dated May 30), following the release of his three new albums: ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR.
The three projects, all released concurrently May 15, debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Billboard 200, making Drake the first artist to hold the top three simultaneously in the chart’s 70-year history. ICEMAN opens atop the chart with 463,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States, according to Luminate, while HABIBTI launches with 114,000 and MAID OF HONOUR begins with 110,000.
ICEMAN posts the second-biggest week of 2026 for an album, after only BTS’ ARIRANG, which opened with 641,000 units in April. The set is Drake’s 15th career Billboard 200 No. 1, as he passes Jay-Z and ties Taylor Swift for the most among solo artists. Only The Beatles have more overall, with 19.
Drake’s dominance also extends to the Billboard Hot 100, where he places 42 total songs on this week’s chart — every chart-eligible track from the three albums — setting a new record for the most concurrent entries in a single week. He surpasses the previous mark of 37 set by Morgan Wallen on the May 31, 2025-dated list when his album I’m the Problem made is chart debut. The country star previously set the record with 36 songs on March 18, 2023, thanks to his LP One Thing at a Time. Prior to that, however, Drake held the record for five years, as he charted 27 songs from his Scorpion album on the July 14, 2018-dated ranking.
