Drake made charts history as the rapper’s new album trilogyIceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour — scored the top three spots on the latest Billboard 200, becoming the first artist to occupy Numbers One, Two, and Three simultaneously.

Iceman led the way at Number One, ending its first week of release with 463,000 equivalent album units, the vast majority of which (449,000 units) came from streaming equivalent albums and 462.2 million on-demand streams, Billboard reports; a day after its release, both Spotify and Amazon Music revealed that the rapper became their most-streamed artist in a single day of 2026, thanks to his three-album drop.


Habibti placed second with 114,000 equivalent album units, edging Maid of Honour at Number Three with 110,000 total units. Like Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour were only available digitally either through purchase or streaming, with no physical release planned as of yet.

Iceman improved on the first week sales of Drake’s previous album, 2023’s For All the Dogs, which also opened at Number One and 402,000 album equivalent units.

Iceman also marked Drake’s 15th Number One album on the Billboard 200, tying him with Taylor Swift for most-ever by a solo artist. Among all artists, the Beatles still lead the way with 19 Number One albums. With all three albums charting, Drake also surpassed Future as the rapper with the most Top 10 albums, Billboard reports.

Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals He Suffered Temporary Vocal Paralysis After a Near-Fatal Battle With Sepsis

Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot to celebrate with his new album, The Hill, arriving on June 16, but he had other hills to conquer, including a health crisis, before reaching this point. In a new interview, he revealed that he suffered a near-fatal experience with sepsis in 2024. He noted how the health crisis led to a subsequent diagnosis of temporary vocal paralysis.

In his interview with People, Cyrus didn’t disclose too many details about the health scare, but said he was diagnosed with the condition back in 2024 and consequently faced vocal paralysis, describing the bout as a “very broken moment of my life.” He called his bounce-back a “miracle” crediting his grandson Bear (the 5-year-old son of Braison Cyrus) for helping him see the light in a dark time.

Sturgill Simpson’s ‘Got That Hunter Biden Energy’ — and Hunter’s a Fan

Sturgill Simpson’s latest album as Johnny Blue Skies, Mutiny After Midnight, is a disco-fried country rock meditation on all things sex and politics. It offers up the theory that sex is the cure for all that ails us, as individuals and as a society, and does so with genuine sincerity, but also lots of freaky little jokes and one-liners. One of the funniest appears on “Make America Fuk Again,” the album’s opener and thesis statement, in which Simpson drawls, “I’m a sensitive boy when push comes to shove/I got that Hunter Biden energy/I’ll make a hooker fuck around and fall in love.”
