According to Billboard, Drake's *HABIBTI* rocketed 35-1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart dated Oct. 17 after the Oct.

2 release of its *HABIBTI (FOMO)* deluxe edition, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. for the Oct. 2-8 tracking week — a 506% jump — per Luminate.

That makes it his 18th chart-topper, breaking him out of a tie with Future and The Temptations for the most No. 1s since the list launched in January 1965.

The surprising part is who Drake passed. Billboard notes The Temptations had held or shared the record since July 1966, when *Gettin' Ready* made them the first act with three No. 1s on the chart, and they extended it through their 17th leader, *A Song for You*, in May 1975.

Future had caught them at 17, but a deluxe-driven rebound — not a new album — is what tipped the leaderboard. Streetz 94.5 adds that *HABIBTI* climbed 114 spots, from No. 116 to No. 2, on the Billboard 200, making the surge a comeback story months after release.

Billboard details that *HABIBTI (FOMO)* added four songs — "Solar Eclipse" with Don Toliver, "Quebec," "Cold Shoulder" with Don Toliver and Yebba, and "Classic Pt 2" — to the original 11-song track list.

The singles charts swept too: Billboard reports "Solar Eclipse" became Drake's record-extending 33rd No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Don Toliver's first, while "Quebec" started atop Hot Rap Songs for another record 33rd champ.

Streetz 94.5 reports the album has logged roughly 553,000 album-equivalent units since May, making it eligible for Gold certification under RIAA standards, though eligibility does not guarantee certification.

Billboard notes *HABIBTI* debuted at No. 2 in May behind Drake's own *ICEMAN*, with the two albums released simultaneously alongside a third LP, *MAID OF HONOUR*.

Now *HABIBTI* ousts *ICEMAN* from the top slot — the first self-replacement at No. 1 on the chart since Future and Metro Boomin's *We Don't Trust You* ceded to *We Still Don't Trust You* in May 2024, per Billboard.

Streetz 94.5 frames the deluxe strategy as proof that new material can revive an album months after its initial debut.

Billboard's revised leaderboard now reads 18: Drake; 17 each: Future and The Temptations; 14: JAY-Z; 13: Ye; 12: R. Kelly; 11 each: Eminem and Lil Wayne. The Beat 92.5 and music-news.com both report that Future and The Temptations are nudged into second place, with Jay-Z following at 14.

The Beat 92.5 and music-news.com report that Drake has announced a world tour for 2027, with rumors circulating about a potential headlining slot at Coachella in April 2027. *HABIBTI* also peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and seventh on the U.K. Albums Chart, per the same reports, so the deluxe bump may extend internationally.

With "Janice STFU" already his longest-leading No.
