Drake sets a new personal milestone on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as ICEMAN becomes his sole-longest leader among his 17 chart-toppers. The album claims a 13th week at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 5, passing Take Care’s dozen weeks in the top slot.

ICEMAN, released on OVO Sound/Republic, captures its landmark week at No. 1 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States for the Aug. 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. Though it declined 6% compared to its performance the week before (Aug. 14-20), it retains a 10,000-unit gap ahead of its nearest competitor, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, at No. 2 with 31,000 units.
