Overview
- Drake’s ICEMAN fell to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in its fifth week after Olivia Rodrigo’s new album debuted at roughly 485,000 album-equivalent units.
- ICEMAN spent four consecutive weeks at No. 1, a run that pushed Drake’s career total to 41 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and moved him ahead of Adele in the all-time list.
- The three-album surprise release — ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR — made Drake the first artist to occupy the top three positions on the Billboard 200 after their initial tracking week.
- On streaming platforms Drake continues to dominate as Apple Music named him its most-streamed artist ever and ICEMAN reclaimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s U.S. albums chart.
- Industry observers say most of Drake’s recent Billboard totals come from streaming-equivalent album calculations processed by Luminate, a system whose platform-to-chart conversion methods are drawing renewed attention and could affect future chart outcomes.
