  "account": "On September 5, Drake's ICEMAN album claimed the title of the longest-leading No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, surpassing his previous record of 12 weeks set by Take Care in 2011. The album maintained its top position for a 13th consecutive week, earning 41,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the Aug. 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate data. Despite a 6% decline compared to the previous week, ICEMAN still leads its nearest competitor, Michael Jackson's Thriller, by a margin of 10,000 units. This sets a new benchmark for Drake's album sales, with ICEMAN now his longest-leading No. 1, tying him with The Temptations for the most among all acts in the chart's 61-year history.",
