Drake sets a Billboard 200 record by simultaneously occupying the chart’s top three positions with three separate albums. “Iceman” debuts at No. 1, while “Habibti” enters at No. 2 and “Maid of Honour” arrives at No. 3, making Drake the first artist to hold the top three spots concurrently on the Billboard 200. Variety reports that “Iceman,” which Drake had teased for nearly two years before release, enters the Billboard 200 at No. 1 with 463,000 (units) in its debut period. Both outlets describe the release as a surprise three-album drop and note that the commercial outcome is significant, with all three projects landing in the top three at the same time. While Stereogum also comments on variability in creative reception, the core shared reporting focuses on the chart achievement: Drake is the first act to achieve this simultaneous sweep across three top-ranked albums on the Billboard 200.
