Deluxe albums are dominating right now.
Drake may not capture the Billboard 200 crown this week, but HABIBTI is projected to come remarkably close after receiving its FOMO expansion.
Hits Daily Double currently expects the album to move approximately 70,000 equivalent units and climb to No. 2. The latest figure improves upon the previous projection of 65,000 units, which would have placed Drake at No. 3.
Taylor Swift remains on course to lead the chart with approximately 91,000 units. That creates an estimated gap of 21,000 units between the two artists. Even without reaching the summit, HABIBTI would match the No. 2 peak it originally achieved months ago.
The streaming resurgence follows the arrival of HABIBTI (FOMO), which adds “Solar Eclipse,” “Quebec,” “Classic PT2,” and “Cold Shoulder” to the project. Drake initially introduced the four tracks through his FOMO film before making them available across streaming services. Don Toliver appears on “Solar Eclipse,” a reworking of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” and returns alongside Yebba on “Cold Shoulder.”
HABIBTI first arrived in May as part of Drake’s enormous three-album release with ICEMAN and Maid of Honour. The rollout already made 2026 an unusually busy year for him.
Months later, four additional songs may be enough to send the album back to its original peak. Drake did not reinvent the deluxe-edition strategy, but he apparently remembered where the turbo button was.
