Drake is not moving. ICEMAN claims a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated June 20, earning 133,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 11, according to Luminate. The Drake ICEMAN Billboard 200 2026 run makes history. It marks the first album to spend its entire first four weeks at the top since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl held the position for its first seven weeks between October and November 2025. Furthermore, ICEMAN is the first R&B or hip-hop album to open with four straight weeks at No. 1 since Travis Scott’s Utopia achieved the same feat across four total weeks in 2023.
How ICEMAN compares to Drake’s own catalog
The achievement places ICEMAN in rare company even within Drake’s own discography. Of his 15 No. 1 albums, only 3 have logged more weeks at the top than ICEMAN has so far. Views leads that group with 13 weeks at No. 1 in 2016. Scorpion and Certified Lover Boy each spent 5 weeks at No. 1 in 2018 and 2021 respectively. ICEMAN is therefore already among the strongest performers of Drake’s career and still has room to climb further up that list.
The unit breakdown for the latest tracking week reveals the depth of the album’s streaming dominance. Of the 133,000 total equivalent album units, streaming equivalent album units account for 132,000, representing 135.82 million on-demand official streams. Physical album sales account for nearly 500 units — down 43% week over week — while track equivalent album units make up the remainder.
Malcolm Todd scores his first top 10
Singer-songwriter Malcolm Todd earns his first top 10 on the Billboard 200 with Do That Again, debuting at No. 5 with 67,000 equivalent album units. The result is notable because 30,000 of those units came from pure album sales, landing the project at No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart in its opening frame. Six vinyl variants — including 2 signed editions — and 2 CD editions helped drive that physical performance.
Todd first appeared on Billboard charts with Chest Pain (I Love), which debuted on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in December 2024 and eventually peaked at No. 10. The track also marked his entry on the all-genre Hot 100 in April 2025. In 2026, Todd has already logged 4 Hot 100 debuts from new material. Additionally, Do That Again arrives alongside the announcement of his 2026 North American tour. The run launches Sept. 2 in Irving, Texas, and extends through October, with festival appearances at Osheaga on Aug. 1 and Outside Lands on Aug. 8 coming beforehand.
Niall Horan scores fourth top 10 with Dinner Party
Niall Horan achieves his fourth career top 10 on the Billboard 200 as Dinner Party opens at No. 7 with 55,000 equivalent album units. Album sales alone account for 48,000 of that total, placing the record at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart in its debut week. More than 15 physical variants across vinyl, CD and cassette formats — several of them signed — helped fuel that sales figure significantly.
Horan’s previous top 10 appearances came with The Show at No. 2 in 2023, Heartbreak Weather at No. 4 in 2020 and Flicker at No. 1 in 2017. Moreover, Dinner Party makes him the fourth member of One Direction to chart a new album in 2026 alone. Harry Styles led the year with Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. hitting No. 1 in March. Louis Tomlinson debuted at No. 16 in February with How Did I Get Here? and Zayn charted Konnakol at No. 18 in May. As a result, all four active solo members of the group have now appeared on the Billboard 200 within months of each other.
Horan will co-headline 2 stadium shows with Thomas Rhett in Nashville on July 9 and in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on July 18. His Dinner Party Live on Tour trek then launches Sept. 22 in Birmingham, England, covering Europe and Australia before arriving in the U.S. in March 2027.
The rest of the top 10
The albums sitting at Nos. 2 through 4 hold their positions without moving. Ella Langley’s Dandelion stays at No. 2 with 87,000 equivalent album units, down 7%. Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem remains at No. 3 with 79,000 units, down 4%. Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide holds at No. 4 with just over 67,000 units, down 14%.

Wallen’s One Thing at a Time slips one spot to No. 9 with 40,000 units. Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving climbs from No. 14 to No. 10 with 35,000 units, a modest but meaningful gain.
