New chart data confirmed on August 10, 2026, that Drake’s blockbuster album Iceman has officially surpassed Views on the Billboard Top Rap Albums chart. The album now sits in fourth place among Drake’s longest-running No. 1 albums in career history with 12 weeks at the top. Forbes reports the feat makes Iceman one of the most durable rap albums of the decade.
Iceman, released June 20, 2026, debuted with 340K units and has been powered by hits “What’s Next 2” and “Spider-Man.” Billboard notes the album’s longevity comes from strong streaming without major deluxe pushes, unlike Views which relied on Apple Music exclusivity. The record puts Iceman ahead of Views (10 weeks) and just behind Take Care (13 weeks).
The milestone adds to Drake’s dominance in 2026 despite the ongoing Kendrick fallout and livestream controversies. OVO Sound confirmed a physical vinyl edition with two bonus tracks is coming August 22. With Iceman still in the Top 5, Drake is poised to break his own Top Rap Albums record by September.
