Millions of fans had been waiting for him to unleash Iceman, but they were unaware that while he was putting the finishing touches on that project, the Canadian hip-hop talent was also hard at work on both Maid of Honour and Habibti.<\/p>\n<p>Drake dropped all three full-lengths simultaneously, and when they debuted on the Billboard 200, he became the first artist to occupy the highest three spaces at once \u2013 let alone with a trio of debuts. Iceman remains Drake\u2019s highest-ranking album across the Billboard charts, while the other two have either started to fall or disappeared entirely. Notably, even though several collections are only a few months old at this point, Take Care is his only other top 40 win on the Billboard 200 this frame. As the early-career smash ascends, it reaches a landmark that only a handful of albums in history have seen.<\/p>\n<p>Drake\u2019s Take Care Reaches 700 Weeks<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-zzP29emgpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-zzP29emgpg\" aria-label=\"Take Care\">Take Care<\/a> rises three spots to No. 27 on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-200\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-200\/\" aria-label=\"Billboard 200\">Billboard 200<\/a>. The ranking measures the most-consumed albums in the United States using a combination of traditional purchases and streaming activity, and it is often considered the most important for full-lengths and EPs in the nation. As of this frame, Take Care has spent a milestone 700 weeks rising and falling on the tally.<\/p>\n<p>Drake Joins an Exclusive Group<\/p>\n<p>Take Care is now only the thirteenth title to reach 700 weeks on the Billboard 200. Queen was the most recent act to join this exclusive club before Drake.

The project lives inside the top 10 on two genre-specific lists, climbing to Nos. 5 and 8 on the Top Rap Albums and Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums charts, respectively. Take Care also improves ever so slightly on the Top Streaming Albums ranking, where it advances one rung to No. 24.<\/p>\n<p>Drake\u2019s Iceman Remains His Biggest Album<\/p>\n<p>The only Drake full-length that performs better than Take Care on the Billboard 200 is Iceman. The recent release holds steady at No. 6 on the country\u2019s main albums roster.<\/p>\n<p>Iceman is comfortable exactly where it sat last week on all four rankings where it can currently be found. The collection sits at No. 5 on the Top Streaming Albums list and holds at No. 1 on both the Top Rap Albums and Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums rankings. As it leads again, the title is quickly becoming one of Drake\u2019s longest-running champions on both registers.<\/p>\n<p>Drake Charts 11 Albums at Once<\/p>\n<p>SANTIAGO, CHILE &#8211; MARCH 18: Drake performs during day two of Lollapalooza Chile 2023 on March 18, 2023 in Santiago, Chile.

Almost all of those projects also appear on at least one additional tally, including the Top Streaming Albums, Top Rap Albums and Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing Was the Same is the only one of Drake\u2019s 11 current Billboard 200 wins that does not make space on another list.
