Drake keeps breaking Billboard records left, right and center following the release of Iceman.

The 18-track album has become the first in Billboard Hot 100 history to place all songs on the chart for three consecutive weeks, with "Janice STFU," "Shabang" and "Ran to Atlanta" featuring Future and Molly Santana being among the top 20.

As Billboard detailed earlier this month, "Janice STFU" is Drake's first multi-week number-one single in nearly a decade following his viral 2018 track "In My Feelings." "Janice" has since been dethroned by new Ariana Grande song "Hate That I Made You Love Me."

The rare Billboard Hot 100 feat is ironically preceded by Drake’s friend-turned-foe, Kendrick Lamar, who previously landed all 12 songs on his sixth studio album, GNX, on the chart for three consecutive weeks.

Drake, however, stands alone in the chart success of Iceman, along with his surprise follow-up albums Maid of Honour and Habibti. All three albums landed the top three slots on the Billboard 200 upon their release in May, along with breaking global streaming records and seeing a boost in streaming for collaborators Stunna Sandy, Iconic Savvy and more.

As of last week, Iceman spent its third week atop the Billboard 200, becoming his first album to top the chart since his sixth album, Certified Lover Boy, in 2021. Between Certified and Iceman, Drizzy has released solo albums Honestly, Nevermind and For All the Dogs, along with joint albums Her Loss (with 21 Savage) and $ome $exy $ongs 4 U (with PARTYNEXTDOOR).

If his aforementioned stats weren’t enough, the five-time Grammy winner has also broken the Billboard Hot 100 solo number-one singles record held by the late Michael Jackson with 14 chart-toppers.
