Over a week after dropping three albums, Drake has made Billboard history.
On May 15, fans were anticipating the release of his highly anticipated album “Iceman,” but he surprised them by dropping two additional records too. Those albums were titled “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour.”
The three projects have taken over the Billboard 200 charts, holding the top three spots simultaneously on the charts dated May 30. Billboard reports this is the first time an artist has done this “since it began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.”
“Iceman” came in at No.1, “Habibti” is No. 2 and “Maid of Honour” came in at No. 3.
“Iceman” is Drake’s 15th No. 1 album. He’s now “ahead of Jay-Z for the most No. 1’s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists.” Billboard says that he now ties Taylor Swift for the most No. 1’s among soloists.
Ahead of both Drizzy and Swift are The Beatles, who have a whopping 19 No. 1 albums.
While the “6 God” is the first musical act to have three projects concurrently on the charts, he’s the third act to debut at the No. 1 and 2 spots simultaneously.
Almost 35 years ago, Guns N’ Roses was the first to debut at No. 1 and No. 2 at the same time with “Use Your Illusion II” and “Use Your Illusion I,” on the Oct. 5, 1991, chart. Rapper Nelly was next in line for this feat with his albums “Suit” and “Sweat” on the Oct. 2, 2004, chart.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, released the three albums two years after his highly publicized beef with rapper Kendrick Lamar.
They are his first solo albums since 2023’s “For All the Dogs.”
