When Drake released his new album Iceman, it was a major event in the global music industry, though that was nothing new. Whenever the Canadian hip-hop musician shares another project, it is big news, as the set is almost certain to debut at No. 1 in America and potentially help Drake make history in several ways.
When Iceman arrived, Drake managed something he had never tried before: he released three complete albums at the same time. Iceman debuted at No. 1 across the Billboard rankings, while Maid of Honour and Habibti came in right behind it in many cases.
In the months since it dropped, Iceman and its many singles have proved to be not just flashes in the pan, but sturdy wins for the Grammy champion. As Iceman holds atop various rosters again, including the most competitive for hip-hop and R&B collections, it moves up within Drake’s discography and comes close to tying his all-time record.
