Drake to Make History with Top Three Album Spots on Billboard
Drake is on the verge of making music history as the first artist to dominate the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart simultaneously. Hits Daily Double, a well-known music insider outlet, recently provided a forecast of projected sales for Drake’s three new albums – Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti. These three albums are expected to secure the top three positions on the Billboard chart.
According to Hits Daily Double’s projections, Drake’s album Iceman is anticipated to debut at No. 1 with an estimated 475,000 album equivalent sales. Over the past year, Drake teased the release of Iceman through live streams and enigmatic posts on his Instagram. Following closely behind, Maid of Honour and Habibti are predicted to claim the No. 2 and No. 3 spots on the chart, with each album expected to achieve 120,000 album-equivalent sales. Together, these three albums are forecasted to reach a total of 715,000 in sales.
Hits Daily Double’s initial estimates suggested that Iceman would move between 480,000 to 520,000 equivalent units, while Maid of Honour and Habibti were predicted to sell between 115,000 to 135,000 equivalent units and 110,000 to 130,000 equivalent units, respectively. Drake’s earlier album, Take Care, released in 2011 and which celebrates its 15th anniversary in November, is also making a resurgence on the Billboard 200 chart.
Despite being a fan favorite and earning Drake his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2013, Take Care faced criticism recently via an Instagram Story. In just a week, Drake’s new albums have seen massive success across major streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon, and Spotify. Last Friday, Drake was named the most-streamed artist in a single day on Spotify, with Iceman becoming the most-streamed album of 2026 in a day. The opening track from Iceman, “Make Them Cry,” has also emerged as the most-streamed song of the current year.
With the release of his 14th chart-topping album, Drake is set to surpass the late Michael Jackson and establish a new record in his illustrious career. This achievement solidifies his status as a music icon and cements his position as one of the most successful artists in the industry. Fans eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking success that Drake’s new albums are poised to achieve, setting the stage for a monumental moment in music history.
