Drake is not letting the charts breathe.

Fresh off taking over the Billboard 200 with his three-album rollout, the Toronto rapper has made history again. According to Billboard’s latest chart update, Drake currently has 12 albums on the Billboard 200 at the same time, making him the first living solo artist to ever pull off the feat.

The run is being led by his new projects ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, which debuted at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 on the Billboard 200. That alone was already historic, as Drake became the first artist to hold the chart’s top three spots in the same week since Billboard began publishing the list on a consistent weekly schedule in 1956.

But the takeover did not stop with the new releases. Several older Drake albums also returned or remained strong on the chart, including Take Care at No. 25, Views at No. 40, Scorpion at No. 65, Certified Lover Boy at No. 69, Thank Me Later at No. 81 and For All The Dogs at No. 96. His 2025 PARTYNEXTDOOR collaboration, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, also appeared on the list at No. 55.

The latest milestone puts Drake in rare company. Billboard noted that the only other acts to ever chart 12 or more albums in a single week are The Beatles and Prince. Drake now stands as the first living solo artist to reach that number, adding another record to a career already built on streaming dominance, longevity and constant chart presence.

The timing makes the achievement even bigger. Drake released ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR on May 15, turning what was expected to be one major album drop into a full three-project takeover. The rollout marked his first solo albums since 2023’s For All the Dogs, following his 2025 joint project with PARTYNEXTDOOR.

The chart success has also stretched beyond the United States. In the United Kingdom, Drake became the first artist to debut three studio albums inside the Top 10 at the same time. ICEMAN entered at No. 1, while MAID OF HONOUR landed at No. 6 and HABIBTI came in at No. 7.
