\n\tOf Drake\u2019s 15 No. 1 albums, ICEMAN is now one of five to spend at least three weeks at No. 1, and his first with three weeks at No. 1 since Certified Lover Boy spent five weeks in the lead in 2021. The Drake album with the most weeks at No. 1 is Views, with 13 weeks in 2016.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200<\/a>, Paul McCartney<\/a> achieves his 22nd top 10 album as The Boys of Dungeon Lane debuts at No. 5, while aespa<\/a> captures its third top 10 with the No. 9 arrival of LEMONADE.<\/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 13, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard\u2018s website on June 9. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf ICEMAN\u2019s 171,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 170,000 (down 24%, equaling 174.42 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks; it spends a third week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise nearly 1,000 (down 50%) and TEA units comprise the remainder (down 29%).<\/p>\n

\n\tA trio of former No. 1s follow ICEMAN, as Ella Langley<\/a>\u2019s Dandelion is a non-mover at No. 2 (93,000 equivalent album units earned, up 1%), Morgan Wallen<\/a>\u2019s I\u2019m the Problem rises 4-3 (83,000, up 4%) and Noah Kahan<\/a>\u2019s The Great Divide falls 3-4 (78,000, down 7%).<\/p>\n

\n\tPaul McCartney\u2019s The Boys of Dungeon Lane debuts at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, with 63,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 59,500 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise nearly 3,500 (equaling 3.33 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks) and TEA units comprise the remainder. First-week sales were bolstered by the album\u2019s availability across 18 physical variants, including more than 10 vinyl editions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Boys of Dungeon Lane marks the 22nd top 10 for McCartney, inclusive of his solo top 10s and his albums with Wings. The new set was led by the single \u201cDays We Left Behind,\u201d which peaked at No. 22 on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart in April.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichael Jackson\u2019s former No. 1 Thriller is next on the Billboard 200, falling one spot to No. 6 with 61,000 equivalent album units (down 5%), while Jackson\u2019s greatest hits collection Number Ones slips 6-7 (56,000, down 7%).
