Drake makes chart history as new album trilogy claims top three spots
Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour land at Numbers One, Two, and Three, as Drake ties Taylor Swift for most Number One LPs by a solo artist.
Drake makes chart history with trilogy
Drake has pulled off a rare chart feat, landing three albums in the top three spots simultaneously. According to Rolling Stone, Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour debuted at Numbers One, Two, and Three respectively, a placement that marks one of the most striking chart moments in recent memory.
Tying Taylor Swift
The achievement puts Drake in rare company. The rapper now ties Taylor Swift for the most Number One LPs ever by a solo artist, a milestone that underlines just how dominant he has remained at the commercial level even as critical conversations around him have grown more complicated.
For context, landing a single album at Number One is a career benchmark for most artists. Placing three projects in the top three in the same chart cycle is another matter entirely, and it is the kind of number that will show up in charts history books alongside the handful of times the Beatles monopolized the upper reaches of the Hot 100.
What the albums are
The three projects are titled Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour. Rolling Stone confirmed all three placements but did not detail the sales and streaming breakdown behind each album's debut position at time of publication.
Whether the trilogy format, releasing three distinct bodies of work in close succession, was a deliberate commercial strategy or a creative statement, the chart result speaks for itself.
