Drake sets a new personal milestone on Billboard’ s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as ICEMAN becomes his sole-longest leader among his 17 chart-toppers. The album claims a 13th week at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 5, passing Take Care ’s dozen weeks in the top slot.

Though it declined 6% compared to its performance the week before (Aug. 14-20), it retains a 10,000-unit gap ahead of its nearest competitor, Michael Jackson’s Thriller , at No. 2 with 31,000 units. Through ICEMAN , Drake reshuffles his leaderboard for his album with the most weeks at No. 1. His sophomore full-length, 2011’s Take Care , was his prior benchmark, with 12 weeks at the summit in 2011-12. Notably, the ranking system for Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums has changed since Drake’s career debut: Before February 2017, ranks were determined solely by album sales, while it has since evolved into ranking via equivalent album units, a multimetric measure of album sales, streaming activity and an album’s track-sales activity into one figure. Here’s a look at Drake’s longest-leading No. 1s on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums: Weeks at No. 1, Album Title, Date Reached No. 1 13, ICEMAN , May 30, 2026 12, Take Care , Dec. 3, 2011 11, For All the Dogs , Oct. 21, 2023 10, Certified Lover Boy , Sept. 18, 2021 5, Nothing Was the Same , Oct. 12, 2013 5, Scorpion , July 14, 2018 ICEMAN became Drake’s record-tying 17th No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, equaling The Temptations’ count for the most among all acts in the chart’s 61-year history. (Future has since matched the mark, too.) The project includes Drake’s record-extending 31st and 32nd No. 1s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, “What Did I Miss?” and “Janice STFU,” respectfully. The latter spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the songs chart, the most for any Drake title since “In My Feelings” registered an 11-week domination in 2018. Elsewhere, ICEMAN wins a 13th week at No. 1 on Top Rap Albums and holds at No. 9 on the all-genre Billboard 200 .
