Drake has made Billboard history once again, becoming the first artist ever to reach 400 total entries on the Hot 100 chart. The milestone comes after a massive week where he placed 42 songs on the chart at the same time.

The surge follows the release of his three albums, ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR, all dropped on May 15. The albums entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, making Drake the first artist in history to hold the top three positions on the chart in the same week.

ICEMAN led the way with 463,000 equivalent album units in its first week, giving Drake his 15th No. 1 album. That puts him ahead of Jay-Z in total chart-toppers and tied with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums by a solo artist, behind only The Beatles.

The album also delivered one of the biggest opening weeks of 2026, second only to BTS. Meanwhile, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR added strong debut numbers that helped push Drake’s total chart impact even further.

Here’s a rundown of Drake’s 42 entries on this week’s Hot 100:
