Drake is currently the focal point of global music conversations following the surprise release of his three new albums: Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti. Each project offers a distinct sonic identity, and fans worldwide are actively engaging with the material to determine their favorites. The Drake impact is undeniable, as he is already shattering streaming records, with all three albums currently occupying the top three positions on Apple Music.
Furthermore, his track ‘Make Them Cry’ has set a new benchmark for the biggest streaming day on Spotify for a hip-hop song, effectively surpassing Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’. As the industry watches these numbers climb, the first-week sales projections for the three projects have been revealed.
According to reports from HITS Daily Double, Iceman is on track to move between 480,000 and 520,000 units in its first week. This performance is expected to secure the top spot on the Billboard 200, potentially marking his biggest debut since Certified Lover Boy. Meanwhile, Maid of Honour is projected to shift 115,000–135,000 units, and Habibti is anticipated to land between 110,000 and 130,000 units.
The industry remains focused on these figures as we await the final official tallies next week.
