Drake has extended his dominance on the U.S. albums chart as his latest project, ICEMAN, secured a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, reinforcing its position as one of the biggest releases of 2026.
According to the latest chart data, ICEMAN earned approximately 133,000 equivalent album units during the most recent tracking week, driven largely by strong streaming numbers. The album also maintained its grip on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart, highlighting Drake’s continued influence in the streaming era.
The milestone makes ICEMAN the longest-running No. 1 album of 2026 so far, surpassing other chart-leading releases this year. Industry observers note that the achievement further strengthens Drake’s already impressive Billboard legacy, with the Canadian superstar continuing to rack up chart records more than a decade into his career.
The album’s success follows a historic period for Drake. In May, he became the first artist ever to occupy the top three positions on the Billboard 200 simultaneously after releasing ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR on the same day. The unprecedented feat cemented his status as one of the most commercially successful artists in modern music.
With four weeks at the summit, ICEMAN now ranks among Drake’s most successful chart-topping albums. Only a handful of his previous No. 1 projects, including Views, Scorpion, and Certified Lover Boy, have spent more time atop the Billboard 200.
The album’s continued success comes amid strong competition from major releases across multiple genres. However, sustained streaming activity and fan engagement have helped keep ICEMAN ahead of rival projects, making it one of the defining albums of the year.
As the chart race intensifies in the coming weeks, industry analysts will be watching closely to see whether Drake can extend his reign and add another chapter to his record-breaking Billboard career.
