Drake takes over the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart as his three new albums, ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the chart dated May 30.
All three albums were released on Friday, May 15. It’s the first time that an artist has held the top three on the Billboard 200 concurrently since it began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.
ICEMAN also yields Drake his 15th No. 1 album, pushing him ahead of Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists, and tying him with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1s among soloists. Only one act is ahead of Drake and Swift: The Beatles, with a record 19 No. 1 albums.
While ICEMAN had been teased for months before it dropped, the existence of the other two albums was only announced during a livestream on May 14, shortly before the trio of titles was released.
ICEMAN enters with 463,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 21, marking the second-largest week of 2026 for an album and the biggest week of the year for an R&B/hip-hop set. HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR launch with 114,000 and 110,000 units, respectively.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, rapper LUCKI lands his first top 10 as Dr*gs R Bad debuts at No. 9.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 30, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 27 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. on May 25).
