Drake’s ICEMAN Rules Billboard 200 for Fourth Week, Extends Historic Chart Run

For Drake, this marks another milestone in an already legendary career. Of his 15 Billboard 200 chart-toppers, only Views (13 weeks), Scorpion (five weeks), and Certified Lover Boy (five weeks) have spent more time at No. 1 than ICEMAN so far.

Canadian rap superstar Drake continues his reign over the music industry as ICEMAN secures a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, cementing its place among the biggest albums of 2026.

According to Billboard and Luminate data, ICEMAN earned 133,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week ending June 11, despite a 22% decline from the previous week. The album’s continued success highlights Drake’s enduring streaming power and dominance in hip-hop.

ICEMAN Achieves Rare Billboard Milestone 

With four straight weeks atop the Billboard 200, ICEMAN becomes the first album since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl to spend its first four weeks at No. 1. Swift’s album spent seven consecutive weeks at the summit in late 2025.

The achievement is especially significant in hip-hop. Before ICEMAN, the last R&B/hip-hop album to open with four consecutive weeks at No. 1 was Travis Scott’s Utopia in 2023.

For Drake, this marks another milestone in an already legendary career. Of his 15 Billboard 200 chart-toppers, only Views (13 weeks), Scorpion (five weeks), and Certified Lover Boy (five weeks) have spent more time at No. 1 than ICEMAN so far.

Streaming Continues to Drive Drake’s Success

The Iceman’s success remains fueled primarily by streaming. Of the 133,000 units earned this week, 132,000 came from streaming equivalent albums (SEA), representing 135.82 million on-demand streams.

Drake’s ICEMAN also remains No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart for a fourth consecutive week.

Physical sales played a smaller role, accounting for fewer than 500 album purchases, while track-equivalent albums (TEA) contributed the remaining units.

The strong performance underscores Drake’s unmatched influence in the streaming era, where he continues to set records years into his career.

Competition Intensifies on Billboard 200

Behind Drake, several major artists maintained their positions on the chart. Ella Langley’s Dandelion held steady at No. 2 with 87,000 equivalent units, followed by Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem at No. 3 and Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide at No. 4.

Singer-songwriter Malcolm Todd achieved a breakthrough moment with Do That Again, debuting at No. 5, marking his first top-10 album.

Meanwhile, former One Direction star Niall Horan scored his fourth top-10 release as Dinner Party entered the chart at No. 7, driven largely by strong physical sales.

Drake’s Legacy Continues to Grow

As streaming reshapes the music industry, Drake remains one of its most dominant figures. ICEMAN’s sustained chart performance further strengthens his reputation as one of the most commercially successful artists of his generation.

With no signs of slowing down, industry observers will now watch closely to see whether ICEMAN can match or surpass the five-week No. 1 runs achieved by Scorpion and Certified Lover Boy.

For now, Drake remains firmly on top of the Billboard mountain.
