Entertainment

Drake has reached another historic milestone after tying Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums among solo artists on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Canadian rapper achieved the feat following the successful debut of his latest studio album, Iceman, which reportedly opened at the top of the Billboard 200 with 463,000 equivalent album units.

The achievement marks Drake’s 15th No. 1 album, placing him alongside Taylor Swift in Billboard history. Both artists now trail only The Beatles, who hold the all-time record with 19 chart-topping albums.

Drake Dominates Billboard 200 Top Three

According to multiple media reports, Drake also made history by simultaneously occupying the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart. The accomplishment is considered one of the biggest chart achievements of his career since the chart adopted its weekly format in 1956.

The rapper’s latest releases, including Habibti and Maid Of Honour, contributed to the massive chart success and strengthened his dominance in the global music industry.

With the latest achievement, Drake moved ahead of several legendary hip-hop and R&B artists, including Jay-Z, further cementing his place among music’s most successful performers.

Fans quickly reacted to Drake’s new Billboard accomplishment across social media platforms, especially on X.

One fan wrote, “It’s just these T-W-O active chart-toppers,” referring to Drake and Taylor Swift’s dominance on the charts.

Another user posted, “Happy for Drake! Congrats, amazing achievement.”

A third fan celebrated the milestone by writing, “Drake All Day! Get Em Drizzy #ICEMANSUMMER2026.”
