Drake is on top again: three albums simultaneously on the Billboard 200

Automatic translation. Read the Russian original

Drake demonstrated his dominance by taking all three top spots on the Billboard 200 with his new album, "Iceman", as well as two surprise releases, "Habibti" and "Maid of Honour". This success is the 15th album pawn in his collection, and he is now on par with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift on this metric. Iceman started with an impressive 463,000 album equivalents, with 97% of sales coming from streams. This achievement is compared to the rare success of Guns N’ Roses and Nelly, who also debuted on the chart, occupying the first two positions. Drake became the first artist in Billboard's history to achieve such success, surpassing even potential album starts by Michael Jackson, given that Billboard did not consider back catalogues at the time. This success comes after a defeat in a rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, which led to criticism of his new releases.
