Drake is showing no signs of slowing down as ICEMAN continues its impressive chart performance. After arriving as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, the album is reportedly on track to secure a third consecutive week atop the Billboard 200.
The project debuted with a massive 465,000 units in its first week, immediately claiming the No. 1 spot. Rather than experiencing a steep decline, ICEMAN remained strong in its second week, moving an additional 215,000 units and comfortably maintaining its position at the top of the charts.
Now, according to projections shared by Kurrco, the album is expected to remain at No. 1 for a third straight week with approximately 174,000 units sold. If the estimates hold, it would further cement ICEMAN as one of the most commercially successful hip-hop releases of the year.
A major factor behind the album’s continued success has been the performance of its standout single, “Janice STFU,” which has remained a dominant force on streaming platforms and reportedly spent multiple weeks at No. 1. The song’s sustained popularity has helped keep attention focused on the album long after its initial release.
The strong numbers are particularly notable given the scrutiny Drake faced following his highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar. While some critics questioned whether the battle would impact Drake’s commercial dominance, ICEMAN appears to have reaffirmed his position as one of the biggest stars in global music.
Meanwhile, Drake’s companion projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, have reportedly experienced sharper declines in recent weeks. Both projects explored different sonic directions, incorporating heavier R&B and club-inspired influences, but neither generated the same level of attention as ICEMAN.
Many fans viewed the surprise three-project rollout as a bold marketing strategy designed to dominate conversation across multiple genres and audiences. Whether the additional releases were intended as standalone successes or supporting pieces to the main event, ICEMAN has clearly emerged as the centerpiece of the campaign.
As the album continues its chart reign, Drake has once again demonstrated an ability few artists can match: turning anticipation into sustained commercial success. With strong streaming numbers, chart-topping singles, and consistent sales, ICEMAN is proving to be one of the defining releases of the year.
