Drake will battle three versions of himself at the top of the Billboard charts.
According to Hits Daily Double, both MAID OF HONOUR and HABIBTI are tracking for Top 5 debuts on the Billboard 200. MAID OF HONOUR is projected to earn between 115K–135K units in its first week, while HABIBTI is expected to land slightly behind at 110K–130K units.
The two albums represent very different lanes in Drake’s current run. MAID OF HONOUR leans heavily into club-ready production, built for high-energy environments and DJ rotation. In contrast, HABIBTI focuses more on R&B textures and melodic structures, sounding closer to his previous collaborations with PARTYNEXTDOOR on projects like $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
While these numbers are lower compared to Drake’s biggest historical debuts, they are still strong by modern industry standards, especially for hip-hop releases in 2026. In fact, the projections place both albums in a range comparable to mid-tier major releases, including artists like A$AP Rocky (No shade at all).
I wonder how these two albums from Drake age…
