The charts are still freezing.

It's been a week since Drake set multiple Billboard Canada chart records following the release of his three albums Iceman, Maid of Honour and Habibti, and he's remaining dominant in his second week. "Janice STFU" spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 dated June 6, 2026, as does Iceman on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.


"Janice STFU" pushed Drake ahead of any competition by earning him a historic 14th No. 1 song in Canada, the most of any artist. The hit Iceman single quickly went viral upon release due to its earworm of a chorus, which interpolates its melody from Lykke Li's fan favourite track "I Follow Rivers."

Drake has another hit on his hands with "Shabang," which crawls up to No. 4 from its No. 5 debut, making for one of the few gainers in this week's top 10. The song, which is packed with braggadocio and features a laid-back trap beat built over a lush soul sample, has been making its rounds on social media thanks to its viral chorus which features the introductory line "Maneesh on the beat, shabang." It's a direct nod to one of the track's producers, Maneesh, who hails from Rexdale and is a longtime collaborator of the 6 God, having produced tracks like "Too Good" with Rihanna, which reached the top 10 in Canada back in 2016. The track's music video showcases the mysterious controlled explosion that Drake organized in the lead-up to Iceman.

After landing a historic 42 tracks on the Canadian Hot 100 last week, Drake still charts 30 songs on this week's chart.

Over on the Canadian Albums Chart, Iceman (No. 1) and Maid of Honour (No. 5) remain in the top five after respectively debuting in the top two spots last week, while Habibti slips from No. 4-7.

Olivia Rodrigo is back for seconds, securing another top ten single with "The Cure" (No. 7), following "Drop Dead" which landed atop the Hot 100 in both Canada and the U.S. in its first week. It's the latest offering from her upcoming album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, set to release on June 12. The guitar ballad, which crescendoes into a rock-influenced finish, features soft-spoken vocals from the pop star as she heartbrokenly sings about a romantic relationship that brings her temporary happiness but is ultimately detrimental. "And it feels like medication, and it's good for me, I'm sure / But it don't matter how your love feels anymore / It'll never be the cure," she sings on the chorus.

This week, Ella Langley's chart-topper "Choosin' Texas" bounces back to No. 2 up from No. 10, while Bruno Mars' "I Just Might" (No. 8) and Tame Impala and Jennie's "Dracula" (No. 10) slide back into the top ten. Drake holds six of the top ten spots with "Ran to Atlanta" (No. 3), "National Treasures" (No. 5), "Whisper My Name" (No. 6) and "2 Hard 4 the Radio" (No. 9), plus "Janice STFU" and "Shabang."
