Drake Sets Billboard Hot 100-Style ARIA Record With 3 Albums
Drake set a billboard hot 100-level chart performance on the ARIA Albums Chart by placing three new albums in the top 10 in the same week. Iceman opened at No. 1, Maid Of Honour at No. 5 and Habibti at No. 6, making him the first artist to do it since the ARIA Charts were first published in 1983.
ARIA Top 10 Sweep
The Canadian hip-hop star now has 16 solo and collaborative top 10 albums, a total that stretches from Views in 2016 through For All The Dogs in 2023. This week’s triple entry gives him a broader run of chart presence than a single breakout release could, and it does it in one frame rather than across a long release cycle.
Drake also had 15 singles enter the ARIA Top 50 in the same week, with five of them reaching the ARIA Top 10. That kind of simultaneous album-and-singles traffic is rare even for major release weeks, and it turns the chart showing into a full catalog event instead of a one-off album launch.
Guns N' Roses And Springsteen
ARIA said Drake beat earlier multi-album benchmarks set by Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen. Guns N' Roses landed Use Your Illusion I at No. 1 and Use Your Illusion II at No. 2 in 1991, while Springsteen had Human Touch at No. 3 and Lucky Town at No. 6 in 1992.
Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas held No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a second week, while Genesis Owusu posted a career-best ARIA Albums Chart debut at No. 4 and No. 9 and No. 10 also landed in the week’s top tier. Against that field, Drake’s three new top 10 albums are the kind of result that resets the scale for a release week, not just the ranking of one album.
May 25 Chart Week
The Monday, May 25, 2026 chart frame is the one that matters here: it shows Drake not just opening strong, but occupying three separate top 10 slots at once. For listeners, that means the new material arrived with enough demand to dominate both the album chart and a large slice of the singles list, which is the clearest sign that the rollout hit across formats.
