In the week ending June 11, ICEMAN accrued <b>133,000 equivalent units<\/b> in the United States. This figure, while reflecting a <b>22% drop<\/b> from the previous week, was sufficient to keep the album firmly positioned at number one.<\/p>\n<h3>Historical Context<\/h3>\n<p>ICEMAN marks a significant achievement in the realm of chart performance. It is the first album to spend its initial <b>four weeks<\/b> at the top since <b>Taylor Swift<\/b>&#8216;s <i>The Life of a Showgirl<\/i>, which reigned for seven weeks between October and November 2025, totaling <b>12 weeks<\/b> at number one. Notably, the last R&#038;B\/hip-hop album to accomplish this feat was <b>Travis Scott<\/b>&#8216;s <i>Utopia<\/i>, which also enjoyed its first four weeks at the summit in 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparative Rankings<\/h3>\n<p>Out of the <b>15 Drake albums<\/b> that have hit number one, only three have had longer stays: <b>Views<\/b> (13 weeks in 2016), <b>Scorpion<\/b> (5 weeks in 2018), and <b>Certified Lover Boy<\/b> (5 weeks in 2021). This showcases not only Drake&#8217;s consistency but also his adaptability to the ever-changing landscape of the music industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visual__image\">\n    <picture><source  media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"article-figcaption-img\">ICEMAN is the first album to spend its first four weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 since Taylor Swift&#8217;s The Life of a Showgirl in 2025.<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<h2>Streaming Drives Success<\/h2>\n<p>During the latest week analyzed, ICEMAN achieved <b>133,000 equivalent units<\/b>, with a staggering <b>132,000 units<\/b> stemming from <b>streaming<\/b>, equivalent to <b>135.82 million official on-demand streams<\/b>.
