Drake’s ‘ICEMAN’ Dominates Billboard 200 for Third Straight Week as Chart Rivals Fall Behind
Drake continues his impressive run atop the Billboard 200 as ICEMAN secures a third consecutive week at No. 1. The chart-topping project earned 171,000 equivalent album units during the latest tracking week, proving that the Canadian superstar remains one of the most dominant forces in global music.
Streaming continues to drive the album’s success. Nearly all of ICEMAN’s weekly performance came from digital platforms, generating more than 174 million on-demand streams. The strong numbers also helped the project maintain its leadership position on the streaming albums chart.
The achievement places ICEMAN among Drake’s most successful releases, becoming one of only five albums in his catalog to spend at least three weeks at No. 1.

Another Milestone in Drake’s Historic Career
The latest chart victory further strengthens Drake’s position among music’s all-time commercial giants.
With 15 No. 1 albums to his name, the rapper and singer continues to move closer to the long-standing record held by the legendary British rock band, The Beatles, who lead with 19 chart-topping albums.
ICEMAN is also Drake’s longest-running No. 1 album since Certified Lover Boy, which spent five weeks atop the Billboard 200 in 2021. His most successful chart run remains Views, which dominated the chart for 13 weeks in 2016.
The sustained performance of ICEMAN highlights Drake’s ability to adapt to changing music consumption habits while maintaining a loyal global audience.

Strong Competition Across the Top 10
While Drake remains firmly in control of the top spot, several major artists continue to battle for positions inside the Billboard 200’s upper tier.
Country star Ella Langley held steady at No. 2 with Dandelion, while Morgan Wallen climbed to No. 3 with I’m the Problem. Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide landed at No. 4 after another strong week of sales and streaming.
Music icon Paul McCartney delivered one of the week’s most notable debuts. His latest release, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, entered the chart at No. 5, fueled by strong physical album sales and multiple collector-focused editions. The achievement marks McCartney’s 22nd career top-10 album across his solo work and releases with Wings.
K-Pop and Drake Double Up in the Top 10
K-pop group aespa also celebrated a major milestone as LEMONADE debuted at No. 9. The album became the group’s third Billboard 200 top-10 entry, driven by strong fan support and robust physical sales.
Meanwhile, Drake added another appearance to the chart’s upper tier with HABIBTI, which secured the No. 10 position. The achievement gives the superstar two albums inside the top 10 simultaneously, further underscoring his continued commercial dominance.
As streaming remains the primary force shaping the modern music industry, Drake’s ICEMAN continues to prove why he remains one of the most influential and successful artists of his generation.
