Drake Dominates R&B/Hip-Hop Charts with Record 18 No. 1s

Drake has set a new record on Billboard's charts, now holding the title for the most No. 1 albums on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. His album, "HABIBTI," reached the summit for the first time after the release of its expanded "HABIBTI (FOMO)" deluxe edition. This marks Drake's 18th No. 1 album on this specific chart, breaking his previous tie and surpassing legends like Future and The Temptations.

The "HABIBTI (FOMO)" edition, released on October 2, 2026, added four new tracks, propelling the album to No. 1 on the chart dated October 17, 2026. The album earned 71,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the tracking week of October 2-8, 2026, marking a significant 506% increase from the previous week.

This record places Drake ahead of artists like Future and The Temptations, who each have 17 No. 1 albums. JAY-Z follows with 14, and Ye (formerly Kanye West) with 13. Drake's own "HABIBTI" had previously debuted at No. 2 on May 15, 2026, behind his other simultaneous release, "ICEMAN."

In addition to his album success, Drake also extended his record on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with his 33rd No. 1, as "Solar Eclipse" climbed to the top. This track also marks a first for Don Toliver, who earns his inaugural No. 1 single. "Solar Eclipse" additionally topped the Hot R&B Songs chart, while "Quebec" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, further cementing Drake's chart dominance.
