\n\tDrake<\/a>\u2019s ICEMAN holds atop the Billboard 200<\/a> albums chart (dated June 6) for a second week, earning 225,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending May 28 (down 52%), according to Luminate. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe set bowed at No. 1<\/a> a week ago, alongside two more Drake projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, as he became the first artist ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously in the chart\u2019s 70-year history. They fall 2-7 (53,000 units, down 53%) and 3-8 (42,000, down 62%), respectively, in their second week.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200<\/a>, LE SSERAFIM<\/a> notches its fifth top 10 as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid\/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 6, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard\u2018s website on June 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf ICEMAN\u2019s 225,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 223,000 (down 50%, equaling 228.45 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks; it spends a second week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 1,000 (down 90%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 59%).<\/p>\n

\n\tOf Drake\u2019s 15 Billboard 200 No. 1s \u2014 tied for the most among soloists<\/a> with Taylor Swift \u2014 ICEMAN is his sixth to lead for multiple weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rest of the top five on the new Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Ella Langley\u2019s Dandelion rises 5-2 (93,000 equivalent album units, down 5%); Noah Kahan\u2019s The Great Divide climbs 4-3 (85,000, down 16%); Morgan Wallen\u2019s I\u2019m the Problem ascends 6-4 (80,000, down 6%); and Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller is up 7-5 (64,000, up 3%).<\/p>\n

\n\tJackson\u2019s Number Ones bumps 8-6 (60,000 equivalent album units earned, down less than 1%), while BTS\u2019 former No. 1 ARIRANG steps 10-9 with just more than 41,000 (down 1%).<\/p>\n

\n\tLE SSERAFIM rounds out the top 10, notching its fifth top 10-charted project as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 34,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 7.1 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks) and TEA units comprise the remainder. The album\u2019s first-week sales were boosted by its availability across more than 30 CD variants, many containing collectible items such as photocards, stickers and posters, with some items randomized.<\/p>\n
