Drake places three albums in UK Top 10

Drake placed three albums in the UK Top 10 at once on May 22, with ICEMAN debuting at No. 1 and companion releases MAID OF HONOUR and HABIBTI entering at No. 6 and No. 7, according to the Official Charts Company. The chart result gave the Canadian rapper his seventh UK number one album. Official Charts said he is the first artist ever to debut three studio albums inside the UK Top 10 simultaneously. The releases arrived one week after Drake issued the three records together on May 15. ### How unusual is it to put three albums into the UK Top 10 at the same time? Official Charts said Drake is the first artist to debut three studio albums inside the UK Top 10 in the same week. The company added that a similar three-album Top 10 feat had not been seen in 33 years, when Prince placed three compilation records inside the Top 10 in 1993. (officialcharts.com) The Official Charts Company also said Drake’s overall UK Top 10 album tally now stands at 17. That total includes the new entries from ICEMAN, MAID OF HONOUR and HABIBTI. ### Which albums landed where? ICEMAN entered at No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart for the week of May 15 to May 21, 2026, according to Official Charts. (officialcharts.com) MAID OF HONOUR debuted at No. 6, and HABIBTI debuted at No. 7. Official Charts had signaled that outcome earlier in the week, when its chart update showed ICEMAN leading the race and the other two releases heading for Top 5 or Top 10 positions. The Standard and The Independent both reported the chart placements on May 22, citing the Official Charts Company. The Independent said the result made Drake the first artist to debut three studio albums in the UK Top 10 at the same time. ### When did Drake release the three records? (officialcharts.com) The Standard reported that Drake released ICEMAN, Maid Of Honour and Habibti on Friday, May 15. The outlet said the albums were accompanied by a stream of music videos published the same morning. The Independent reported the three-album drop was Drake’s first album release since 2023’s For All the Dogs. (independent.co.uk) That timing has drawn attention because it followed Drake’s widely covered feud with Kendrick Lamar, though the chart story itself is the simultaneous release and immediate UK performance. (standard.co.uk) ### Did the UK chart result come with any other streaming milestones? The Independent reported earlier in the week that Drake’s new releases helped make him Spotify’s most-streamed artist in a single day this year, with more than 250 million total streams. That figure was tied to the launch-week performance of ICEMAN and the two companion albums. (independent.co.uk) Official Charts measures the UK albums ranking using sales and streams across formats including CDs, downloads, vinyl, audio streams and video streams. The weekly chart page for May 15 to May 21, 2026 records the period in which Drake’s three releases entered together. ### Where can readers check the chart next? (independent.co.uk) The Official Charts Company publishes the full UK albums ranking on its weekly chart page and updates chart coverage on its news pages. Drake’s three entries appear in the chart week dated May 15 to May 21, 2026, with ICEMAN at No. 1, MAID OF HONOUR at No. 6 and HABIBTI at No. 7. (officialcharts.com)
