Drake Holds ICEMAN at No. 1 for Fourth Week
Drake’s ICEMAN stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a fourth week on the June 20 chart, even as its weekly total fell to 133,000 equivalent album units. The set’s grip on the top spot remained driven by streaming, which kept it ahead of two new top-10 debuts and preserved one of the rare multiweek runs in recent hip-hop chart history.
133,000 Units on June 11
The album earned 133,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending June 11, according to the chart data. That total was down 22% from the previous week, with 132,000 of those units coming from streaming equivalent album units and nearly 500 from album sales.
Its streaming load was large enough to equal 135.82 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks. TEA units made up the rest of the total, and they were down 27% from the prior frame. For a chart built on equivalent album units measured by Luminate, that balance explains why the album held No. 1 even with weaker sales.
Drake’s 15 No. 1 Albums
ICEMAN is the first album to spend its first four weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spent its first seven weeks atop the list on the Oct. 18-Nov. 29, 2025-dated charts. Before ICEMAN, the last R&B/hip-hop album to open with four straight weeks at No. 1 was Travis Scott’s Utopia, which did it from Aug. 12-Sept. 2, 2023.
Drake now has 15 No. 1 albums, and only three of them have spent more weeks at No. 1 than ICEMAN. Views ruled for 13 weeks in 2016, while Scorpion and Certified Lover Boy each spent five weeks at the summit in 2018 and 2021.
Malcolm Todd and Niall Horan
Malcolm Todd’s Do That Again debuted at No. 5, and Niall Horan’s Dinner Party entered at No. 7, giving the June 20 chart fresh competition inside the top 10. Billboard said the full June 20-dated chart would be posted on its website on June 16.
For Drake, the practical read is simple: streaming is still carrying the album, and four weeks at No. 1 puts ICEMAN in a narrow class of releases that can keep pace after opening week. The sales slide is real, but the streams are still doing the work.
