In fact, he rarely misses. The Canadian musician has been a household name for long enough, and he is so prolific, that at this point, he claims more No. 1s on the Billboard 200 – the chart company's list of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the United States – than almost any other artist in history.
While Drake almost always launches a newly released set atop the Billboard 200, more often than not, his projects don’t sit in the penthouse for long. Most of his No. 1 albums fall away after just one week, but not his latest. Drake may have given his fan base a lot of music to listen to recently – three albums' worth, in fact – but that hasn't stopped Iceman, the biggest of the bunch, from becoming a relatively uncommon multi-week champion for the singer and rapper.
