With ‘HABIBTI,’ Drake Sets New Record For Most No. 1 Albums on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart
The superstar breaks from a tie with Future and The Temptations for the crown.
Drake has become the artist with the most No. 1 albums on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, boasting an impressive 18 titles. His latest album, HABIBTI, debuted at No. 1 after receiving a deluxe edition update, which added four new songs to its original 11 tracks. This accomplishment breaks a tie with both Future and The Temptations for the highest total of No. 1 albums on the chart since its inception in 1965.
The album's success is largely attributed to its expansion, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the week of October 2-8, marking a 506% increase from the week prior.
