Key Takeaways
- Drake's HABIBTI reached No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the week of October 17, 2026.
- ICEMAN ranked No. 8 on the same Canadian Albums chart.
- “Quebec,” “Solar Eclipse” and “Cold Shoulder” occupied Nos. 5, 6 and 7 on the Canadian Hot 100, respectively.
Drake is making a major impression on Canada's music charts, with his latest album releases and new tracks securing prominent positions in the rankings for the week of October 17, 2026. The results highlight the Toronto rapper's continuing ability to attract listeners across album and song formats.
HABIBTI Takes the Top Spot
According to Billboard Canada's official Canadian Albums chart, HABIBTI debuted at No. 1, while ICEMAN held the No. 8 position. The chart ranks albums using a combination of sales, on-demand audio streaming and digital track sales.
The result gives Drake two albums in Canada's top 10 during the same chart week. It also places HABIBTI ahead of releases from several other major artists, including Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl, which ranked No. 2.
Three Tracks Land in the Canadian Hot 100's Top Seven
Drake's presence extends beyond albums. On the Canadian Hot 100 dated October 17, “Quebec” entered at No. 5, “Solar Eclipse,” featuring Don Toliver, landed at No. 6, and “Cold Shoulder,” featuring Don Toliver and Yebba, reached No. 7.
All three tracks were marked as new entries on that week's chart. The Canadian Hot 100 combines streaming activity, radio audience impressions and sales data to measure song popularity.
These positions offer a snapshot of early performance following the tracks' release. Their longer-term chart trajectories will depend on how listening activity and sales develop over subsequent weeks.
TwikUp's Perspective
The interesting story is not simply the number of chart positions Drake occupies. It is the way his album releases and individual tracks are performing at the same time.
For artists and the wider music industry, this kind of chart presence shows why album campaigns increasingly extend beyond a single release. New tracks can attract attention individually while encouraging listeners to explore a larger project.
Still, chart rankings measure commercial activity during a specific tracking period, not an artist's overall cultural influence or long-term success. The coming weeks will show whether these entries maintain their momentum or make room for new releases.
For now, Billboard Canada's latest rankings give Drake a strong showing across both albums and songs.
