Drake has become the first artist to hold the top three slots on the albums chart as “Iceman,” “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour” debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

“Iceman,” the album that Drake had been teasing for nearly two years before its release, enters the Billboard 200 at No. 1 with 463,000 equivalent album units and earns him his 15th chart-topper, besting Jay-Z’s previous record for most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists. Drake also ties Taylor Swift for most No. 1s among solo acts, only behind the Beatles with their record 19 No. 1s.
