Drake Makes Huge Billboard Comeback as HABIBTI Surges 114 Spots to No. 2

— Drake is proving that his music continues to command attention as his album HABIBTI makes a remarkable return toward the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The Canadian superstar’s project climbed from No. 116 to No. 2 following the release of additional music included in the deluxe edition, FOMO. According to reported chart figures, the album generated approximately 71,000 equivalent album units during the latest tracking period, marking a significant increase in activity. The chart movement represents a 114-position jump and demonstrates Drake’s ability to generate renewed interest in previously released projects. Originally released in May 2026, HABIBTI has continued to attract listeners through streaming platforms and social media. The expanded release gave fans additional material while helping push the album back into the national spotlight. Reports indicate the project has accumulated approximately 553,000 album-equivalent units since its release, making it eligible for Gold certification under Recording Industry Association of America standards. Eligibility does not necessarily mean the album has received official certification. Throughout his career, Drake has built a reputation for consistently performing well on music charts, combining hip-hop, R&B, and melodic production styles that appeal to audiences across multiple genres. His latest chart resurgence adds another achievement to a career that has already included numerous Billboard records, major collaborations, and commercially successful albums. With HABIBTI returning to the upper reaches of the Billboard 200, Drake continues to demonstrate his influence in the competitive music industry. The project’s performance also highlights how deluxe releases and new music can introduce an album to additional listeners months after its initial debut. (Photo by Simone Joyner/Getty Images for ABA)
