  "account": "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.",
