Chart King Reigns: Drake's 'ICEMAN' Dominates Billboard 200 for Fourth Consecutive Week

Drake’s latest album, “ICEMAN,” has impressively maintained its No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fourth consecutive week, specifically for the chart dated June 20. In the week ending June 11, the album garnered 133,000 equivalent album units in the United States, a 22% decrease from the previous week, as reported by Luminate.

“ICEMAN” achieves a notable milestone as the first album since Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” to spend its initial four weeks at the top of the chart. Swift’s album previously held the No. 1 spot for its first seven weeks (from October 18 to November 29, 2025-dated charts) out of a total of 12 weeks at No. 1. For R&B/hip-hop albums, “ICEMAN” is the first to achieve four consecutive weeks at No. 1 since Travis Scott’s “Utopia,” which also logged its first four weeks (of four total) at the summit from August 12 to September 2, 2023. Of Drake’s impressive 15 No. 1 albums, only three have surpassed “ICEMAN” in terms of weeks spent at the peak: “Views” with 13 weeks in 2016, and “Scorpion” (2018) and “Certified Lover Boy” (2021) which each spent five weeks at No. 1.

The Billboard 200 chart serves as a comprehensive ranking of the most popular albums in the U.S., determined by multi-metric consumption measured in equivalent album units, which are compiled by Luminate. These units are composed of album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each equivalent album unit is calculated as one album sale, or the sale of 10 individual tracks from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams, or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The full June 20, 2026-dated chart will be published on Billboard’s website on June 16.

Delving into “ICEMAN”’s latest weekly performance, 132,000 of its 133,000 equivalent album units were derived from SEA, reflecting a 22% drop but still equating to 135.82 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks. This performance also secures its fourth week at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Album sales contributed nearly 500 units (down 43%), with TEA units making up the remaining sum (down 27%).

Following “ICEMAN” in the top positions are a trio of former No. 1 albums, all holding their ground from the previous week. Ella Langley’s “Dandelion” remained at No. 2 with 87,000 equivalent album units (down 7%), Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” stayed at No. 3 with 79,000 units (down 4%), and Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide” held No. 4 with a little over 67,000 units (down 14%).

The new Billboard 200 chart also saw significant new entries in the top 10. Singer-songwriter Malcolm Todd achieved his first top 10 placement with the debut of “Do That Again” at No. 5, earning 67,000 equivalent album units. Of this total, SEA units accounted for 37,000 (equaling 39.49 million on-demand official streams, leading to a No. 8 debut on Top Streaming Albums), while album sales contributed 30,000 units (debuting at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), and TEA units formed the remainder. The album’s robust first-week sales were significantly boosted by its availability across six vinyl variants, two of which were signed, and two CD editions, one of which was also signed. Todd’s previous chart success includes “Chest Pain (I Love),” which debuted on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in December 2024 and peaked at No. 10 the following April, and his self-titled debut album which reached No. 49 in August 2025. His 2024 self-titled debut also saw the track “Chest Pain (I Love)” mark his first entry on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 in April 2025. In 2026 alone, Todd has had four Hot 100 debuts, with two songs from his new album (“Breathe” and “I Saw Your Face”) and two from his “Sweet Boy” mixtape (the title track and “Earrings”). The “Sweet Boy” mixtape also debuted this January and reached the top 40 in May. To support his new album, Todd announced his 2026 North American tour during its release week, commencing on September 2 in Irving, Texas, with dates extending through October. He is also scheduled to perform at the Osheaga Music & Arts Festival in Montreal on August 1 and the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco on August 8.

Another iconic album, Michael Jackson’s chart-topping “Thriller,” remained stationary at No. 6 on the latest Billboard 200, accumulating a little over 55,000 equivalent album units (down 10%).

Niall Horan secured his fourth top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200 with his new release, “Dinner Party,” debuting at No. 7 with 55,000 equivalent album units. This sum comprised 48,000 album sales (resulting in a No. 1 debut on Top Album Sales), 7,000 SEA units (equaling 6.97 million on-demand official streams), and the remainder from TEA units. Like Todd, Horan’s first-week sales benefited from a wide array of physical variants, including more than 15 options across vinyl, CD, and cassette, featuring multiple signed editions. Horan’s previous top 10 appearances on the Billboard 200 include “The Show” (No. 2 in 2023), “Heartbreak Weather” (No. 4, 2020), and “Flicker” (No. 1, 2017). Notably, Horan is the fourth member of One Direction to chart a new album in 2026, following Zayn with “Konnakol” (No. 18 in May), Harry Styles with “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.” (No. 1 in March), and Louis Tomlinson with “How Did I Get Here?” (No. 16 in February). Horan is set to play two co-headlining stadium shows with Thomas Rhett in Nashville on July 9 and Hershey, Pennsylvania, on July 18. His “Dinner Party Live on Tour” concert trek will then launch on September 22 in Birmingham, England, touring Europe and Australia before reaching the U.S. in March of the following year.

Rounding out the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200, Michael Jackson’s “Number Ones” descended from No. 7 to No. 8 (51,000 equivalent album units, down 10%), Morgan Wallen’s former leader “One Thing at a Time” dipped from No. 8 to No. 9 (40,000 units, down 3%), and Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving” ascended from No. 14 to No. 10 (35,000 units, down 2%).
