Drake's 'ICEMAN' Leads Billboard 200 For Second Straight Week

Drake's new album, ICEMAN, has retained its top rank on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The album, which debuted at No. 1 a week ago within just 10 days of its release, continues to top the chart, dated June 6, for a second week.

ICEMAN earned 225,000 equivalent album units in the U.S.in the May 22-28 tracking week, according to Luminate.

In the previous week's chart, Drake made history by becoming the first artist to claim the top 3 spots on the Billboard 200 in the same week.

His two other new albums - HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR - made their debuts at No. 2 and No. 3 ranks, respectively, on the chart dated May 30.

But this week, both those albums fell five places down, to No. 7 and No. 8, respectively.

ICEMAN marked Drake's 15th No. 1 album, bringing him at par with Taylor Swift for the second most toppers in the chart's 70 year history.

Only The Beatles, with 19 No. 1 albums, are ahead of them.

ICEMAN is followed by Ella Langley's Dandelion at No. 2, Noah Kahan's The Great Divide at No. 3, Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem at No. 4 and Michael Jackson's Thriller at No. 5.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units.
