Canadian hip-hop artist Drake released three albums simultaneously on May 15, 2026: Iceman, Habibti, and Maid Of Honour [1, 2]. Iceman debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 463,000 equivalent album units in its first week [2]. Habibti and Maid Of Honour launched at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively, making Drake the first artist to occupy the top three spots on the Billboard 200 in the same week, according to The Straits Times [1].
Iceman became Drake's 15th Billboard 200 No. 1 album, tying him with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums by a solo artist in history [1, 2]. Drake also surpassed Jay-Z, who has 14 No. 1 albums, to hold the record for the most No. 1 albums by a solo male artist and hip-hop musician, according to Forbes [2, 3]. The all-time record remains with The Beatles, who have 19 No. 1 albums [1].
From Iceman, Drake's single "Janice STFU" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his 10th song to debut at the top of that chart, the most for any artist [4]. "Janice STFU" is part of the Iceman album [4, 5]. Additionally, Drake placed nine songs from Iceman in the top 10 of the Hot 100 simultaneously, narrowly missing the entire top 10, Forbes reported [5]. This feat ties him with Taylor Swift as the only artists to have 10 or more songs from a single album in the Hot 100 top 10 [5].
Drake's achievement with three simultaneous albums debuting 1-2-3 followed by multiple Hot 100 successes underscores his dominating presence on U.S. charts. The next set of Billboard rankings will show whether Drake can maintain this momentum.
