Drake is reportedly set to make history by becoming the first artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart at the same time.

‍

Industry tracking suggests his new projects Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti could all debut in the top positions, driven by strong first-week sales and streaming numbers.

‍

Iceman is projected to land at No. 1 with about 475,000 album-equivalent units, while Maid of Honour and Habibti are both expected to follow closely with around 120,000 units each.

‍

Combined, the three releases are estimated to move more than 700,000 units in their opening week, marking one of the strongest chart performances in recent years.

‍

The rollout of Iceman included livestream events and cryptic social media teasers, while the other two albums arrived as surprise releases.

‍

Alongside the new projects, Drake’s older catalog is also seeing renewed interest, with his 2011 album Take Care re-entering the Billboard 200 more than a decade after its release.

‍

On streaming platforms, his music has also surged, with records being broken across services like Spotify, where he was recently named the most-streamed artist in a single day.

‍

If the projections hold, the achievement would give Drake his 14th No. 1 album, breaking his tie with Michael Jackson for most chart-topping albums among solo artists.
