The previous benchmark belonged to two other <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ratingsgamemusic.com\/?s=Drake&amp;category=album-reviews\">Drake<\/a> releases, <em>Certified Lover Boy<\/em> and <em>For All The Dogs<\/em>, both of which reached 44 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The record highlights just how successful <em>ICEMAN<\/em> has been since release. The album debuted with 463,000 first-week units and is quickly approaching two million total units sold, making it the top-selling rap album on the market today. Even weeks after its release, it continues returning to No. 1 on Apple Music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Hit records have fueled much of that momentum. \u201cJanice STFU\u201d reached No. 1, while several songs from the album have inspired countless memes and online discussions. Drake once again leaned into making records with broad appeal, and listeners have rewarded that approach in a major way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a very good year for Drake, which would only surprise people crazy enough to believe \u201cNot Like Us\u201d ended him.
