Drake’s ‘ICEMAN’ Becomes His Longest-Leading No. 1 Album on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

Billboard · 6 hours ago

Drake's album ICEMAN has become his longest-leading No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, notching a 13th week atop the ranking on the chart dated 5 September and overtaking Take Care's previous record of twelve weeks. The milestone underscores Drake's continued dominance of the chart, on which he has now tied The Temptations' record of 17 career No. 1 albums, a mark since matched by Future.

ICEMAN, released via OVO Sound/Republic, earned 41,000 equivalent album units in the US for the 21–27 August tracking week, a 6% dip on the previous week but still 10,000 units ahead of second-placed Thriller by Michael Jackson. The album also holds a 13th week atop Top Rap Albums and sits at No. 9 on the all-genre Billboard 200, while its tracks "What Did I Miss?" and "Janice STFU" gave Drake his record-extending 31st and 32nd Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1s, the latter spending seven weeks on top, his longest since "In My Feelings" in 2018.

  • ICEMAN is Drake's longest-running No. 1, now at 13 weeks
  • Surpassed Take Care's 12-week record from 2011-12
  • Drake ties record for most R&B/Hip-Hop Albums No. 1s (17)
