AceShowbiz - Drake has shattered multiple Billboard records with an unprecedented chart performance following his simultaneous release of three albums on May 15.

The Toronto artist claimed the top three spots on the Billboard 200 albums chart, a feat no other artist has accomplished before. His albums Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti together amassed over 715,000 first-week units, solidifying Drake as the only musician to debut three projects in the top three positions simultaneously.

On the Billboard Hot 100, Drake dominated with 42 charting songs, surpassing the previous record set by Morgan Wallen. His track “Janice S###” from the Iceman album debuted at number one with 40.7 million streams on its opening day alone. This milestone allowed Drake to surpass Michael Jackson by reaching 14 number-one hits as a solo male artist, setting a new record in music history.

The Drake takeover continued as he occupied nine of the top ten spots on the Hot 100, with only Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” interrupting at number five. Apart from “Janice S###” at number one, his other songs filled positions two through four and six through ten, creating an almost impenetrable presence on the chart.

This marks the second occasion where Drake secured nine of the top ten Hot 100 positions, a rare achievement only surpassed by Taylor Swift, who claimed all ten slots three times since 2022.

The timing of these releases is notable given the recent cultural back-and-forth between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Their feud, which included Kendrick’s track “Not Like Us,” created significant media buzz and shifted public perception of both artists. Despite some impact on Drake’s reputation during the conflict, this record-breaking chart success underscores his ongoing commercial power and lasting influence in the music industry.
