Drake has officially rewritten Australian chart history.
The global rap superstar has become the first artist ever to debut three new albums inside the ARIA Albums Chart top 10 in the same week, achieving a feat never seen since the Australian charts were first launched in 1983.
Leading the historic triple takeover is Iceman, which storms in at No. 1, while companion projects Maid Of Honour and Habibti debut at No. 5 and No. 6 respectively. The unprecedented accomplishment further cements Drake's status as one of the most dominant chart forces of the modern era.
According to ARIA, no artist has ever achieved three simultaneous top 10 debuts in a single frame before. The closest comparisons date back decades:
- Guns N' Roses scored a double debut in 1991 when Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II entered at No. 1 and No. 2.
- Bruce Springsteen followed with a similar achievement in 1992 when Human Touch and Lucky Town debuted inside the top 10.
But Drake has now surpassed both milestones with three separate albums entering the top tier simultaneously.
The chart domination adds yet another chapter to Drake's extraordinary Australian success story. The rapper now boasts 16 top 10 albums across solo and collaborative releases, including chart-topping projects such as Views, Scorpion, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, Certified Lover Boy, and For All The Dogs.
The impact of the triple release was also felt across the ARIA Singles Chart. Drake flooded the chart with 15 new entries inside the Top 50, including five songs in the top 10 alone:
- "National Treasures" - No. 4
- "Janice STFU" - No. 5
- "Whisper My Name" - No. 6
- "Make Them Cry" - No. 9
- "Dust" - No. 10
With the latest surge, Drake is now sitting at 98 career Top 50 appearances in Australia, including collaborations, putting him on the verge of reaching the massive milestone of 100 chart hits in the country.
The record-breaking week comes amid another dominant global chart run for Drake, who has recently been making headlines worldwide for simultaneously occupying multiple top positions across streaming and album rankings. His latest Australian achievement only reinforces his unmatched commercial power and continued influence over the international music landscape.
