According to various estimates by the US music press, the Canadian artist could <strong>simultaneously place all three of his albums at the top of the Billboard 200 <\/strong>\u2013 a feat that is practically impossible even in the midst of the streaming era. And there is more at stake. If any of the three projects reaches number one, Drake would <strong>break the historic tie he shares with<a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/jay-z-accused-of-raping-13-year-old-girl-with-diddy\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/jay-z-accused-of-raping-13-year-old-girl-with-diddy\/\"> Jay-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/jay-z-accused-of-raping-13-year-old-girl-with-diddy\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/jay-z-accused-of-raping-13-year-old-girl-with-diddy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Z<\/a><\/strong> as the rapper with the most number-one albums in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if the narrative weren\u2019t obvious enough, the artist himself ended up fuelling the comparisons even further by sharing a picture of himself wearing a glove signed by <strong>Michael Jackson<\/strong>. The internet, of course, took exactly two minutes to turn it into a meme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drake shows off autographed Michael Jackson glove in new Instagram story. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9H8gQvuquh\">pic.twitter.com\/9H8gQvuquh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Pop Base (@PopBase) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PopBase\/status\/2055465287731012044?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-kendrick-lamar-remains-in-the-spotlight\">Kendrick Lamar remains in the spotlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the records and streaming figures, these albums also serve as a direct response to the media storm caused by <strong>the clash between Drake and <a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/tag\/kendrick-lamar-en\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/tag\/kendrick-lamar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kendrick Lamar<\/a> <\/strong>in 2024.

Over the past few months, the Canadian artist has been embroiled in controversies surrounding <strong>online gambling, alleged irregularities regarding streaming figures, and several indirect clashes <\/strong>within the US rap scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if that weren\u2019t enough, Iceman also found himself drawn into the political debate after an edited image of the album cover went viral, featuring references to the \u2018<strong>MAGA<\/strong>\u2019 slogan \u2014 an acronym for \u2018Make America Great Again\u2019, the slogan popularised by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/how-will-donald-trumps-victory-affect-the-fashion-world\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/how-will-donald-trumps-victory-affect-the-fashion-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>.
