Drake's 'Habibti' album has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, marking his 18th chart-topping album and setting a new record for the most No. 1s in this category. The album's ascent follows the release of its deluxe edition, 'Habibti (FOMO),' on October 2, which added four new tracks to the original 11-song list. This expansion led to a significant surge in sales, with the album earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week of October 2-8, a 506% increase from the previous week. Prior to this, Drake was tied with Future and The Temptations, each having 17 No. 1 albums on the chart. The Temptations had held or shared the record since July 1966. 'Habibti' first debuted at No. 2 on May 15, 2026, behind Drake's own 'Iceman.' The album now replaces 'Iceman' at the top, marking the first time an artist has replaced themselves at No. 1 on the chart since May 2024. Drake's achievement underscores his enduring influence and popularity in the R&B and hip-hop genres.
