‘Shabang’ Scores Drake a 4th Rhythmic Airplay No. 1 From ‘ICEMAN’

Drake's ICEMAN album has achieved a significant milestone with its track "Shabang" reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Rhythmic Airplay chart for the fourth time. This accomplishment makes ICEMAN just the fifth album, alongside works by other artists, to attain this remarkable feat. "Shabang," released under OVO Sound/Republic Records, has become the most-played song on rhythm radio stations in the United States during the week of August 7-13.

Drake now boasts a total of 46 No. 1s on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, surpassing all other artists in the chart's 33-year history. Rihanna follows in second place with 17 No. 1 hits, while Chris Brown and The Weeknd share the third spot with 16 each. This achievement marks the latest No. 1 for ICEMAN, which previously topped the charts with "What Did I Miss" (three weeks in August-September 2025), "Janice STFU" (two weeks in July), and "2 Hard 4 the Radio" (one week in July).

By achieving this milestone, ICEMAN joins a select group of five albums, including Drake's Views (2015-16) and Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), that have secured at least four No. 1 singles on the Rhythmic Airplay chart since its inception in 1992.
