Drake made charts history as the rapper’s new album trilogy — Iceman, 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.

Geordie Greep Accused of Alleged Sexual Misconduct in Vancouver

Former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep addressed an allegation of sexual misconduct during a Vancouver concert on Wednesday, October 8, telling the audience he had made an advance toward someone at a house party earlier that morning and apologized after realizing it was unwelcome.

The allegation became public when an attendee reportedly distributed flyers at The Pearl accusing Greep of rape. The flyers referenced an incident that allegedly occurred that morning and urged concertgoers to confront the musician over the accusation.

''Geordie Greep A Rapist. You know what you did this morning Oct. 8th. He thinks he can do whatever he wants because he's gone tomorrow. Let him know what Vancouver thinks of rapists,'' reads the flyer the man gave out, while apparently telling other concertgoers that the incident was an unwanted kiss.
