Drake’s ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR Expected To Put Up Massive First Week Sales.
Drake is once again proving why he remains one of the biggest artists in the world. After shocking fans by releasing three albums at once — ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR... early sales projections are already showing huge numbers for all three projects.
According to reports shared online, ICEMAN is currently expected to lead the way with around 480K to 520K album-equivalent units in its first week.

The album has quickly become the fan favorite out of the three releases thanks to its rap-heavy sound, emotional moments, and several songs connected to Drake’s recent rap beefs and industry drama.
Many fans also believe the hype around leaked songs and Drake’s ICEMAN livestream series helped build major anticipation for the project before release day.
Meanwhile, Drizzy’s more melodic and R&B-focused album HABIBTI is projected to sell around 110K to 130K units in its first week. A lot of listeners online have praised the project for its smoother sound and emotional vibes, with many fans saying it feels closer to the classic melodic Drake style they enjoy the most.
On the other hand, MAID OF HONOUR is projected to move around 115K to 135K units during its debut week. The project has received mixed reactions online because of its playful party sound and experimental tracks. While some fans love the fun energy of the project, others feel it is the weakest of the three albums.
Even with different opinions on each album, the combined numbers are still extremely impressive. Early projections suggest the Toronto rapper could earn between 705K and 785K total album-equivalent units across all three projects in just one week.
If ICEMAN officially debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, it would become Drake’s 15th chart-topping album. That achievement would allow Drake to break his current tie with JAY-Z for the most No. 1 albums by a rapper in history. Both artists currently have 14 No. 1 albums.

6 God would also tie Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums by a solo artist overall. Only The Beatles would still remain ahead with 19 chart-topping albums.
The huge sales projections continue Drake’s massive comeback moment following his highly publicised 2024 rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. Since dropping the albums, Drake has dominated streaming charts, social media conversations, and music headlines around the world.
