Every Drake Album, Ranked
Drake has topped the Billboard 200 with a mixtape and a record he called a playlist, so the label on the sleeve counts for little when you rank this run. A record counts if it's full length, carries Drake's name alone, was at some point sold or streamed, and first came out with mostly unreleased songs, whatever it was called, however weak. Care Package fails that last test, three joint credits fail on name, expanded editions share their original's slot, and Room for Improvement and Comeback Season are out, being absent from the albums on Drake's own Spotify artist page. Spotify's earliest copy matching the original tracklist gets the link, else its earliest complete copy with extras named, unless ListWorld links it already. Complex, NME and seven other rankings count if they rank a record, or postdate its release day without a stated scope excluding it, and top three in 4 or more earns the upper tier. Places are counted with failing records set aside; below that tier, records line up by those places' average, and votes rearrange both tiers.
Drake — Nothing Was the Same (2013) is #1 on “Every Drake Album, Ranked”.

Drake — Nothing Was the Same (2013)
Kadir Nelson painted the cover in oil, in two versions: Drake in profile as a child or as an adult, against a cloudy blue sky. Tuscan Leather opens the 13 tracks, six minutes and six seconds built on a Whitney Houston sample. HotNewHipHop and NME print it first, every eligible ranking keeps it within its top three, 9 of 9, and its US opening brought 658,000 sales.

Drake — If You're Reading This It's Too Late (2015)
Talks about a free download came to nothing: it went on sale on iTunes without warning on February 13, 2015, and under his Cash Money contract it counts as a studio album. Boi-1da and 40 did most of the production, and 6PM in New York closes it. Exclaim! has it second and Business Insider seventh, while 5 of 9 rankings that count put it top three.

Drake — Take Care (2011)
Meant for his 25th birthday, October 24, 2011, it slipped to November 15 over three sample clearances, leaked nine days early and still opened with 631,000 copies sold. Over My Dead Body opens a record that seven of the nine rankings print first, and all 9 of 9 place it top three; the linked Spotify copy, shared with another ListWorld list, adds The Motto as a 19th track.

Drake — So Far Gone (2009)
Self-released through his October's Very Own label on February 13, 2009, it carried Best I Ever Had to a Hot 100 peak of two, yet streaming services only got it on February 15, 2019, when it debuted fifth on the Billboard 200. Spotify's copy adds Congratulations, the commercial release's bonus track, to the original 17, and REVOLT prints the record second and Okayplayer third, 2 of 8 top-three finishes.

Drake — More Life (2017)
It premiered on the 39th episode of OVO Sound Radio on March 18, 2017, 22 tracks with Giggs and Skepta among the guests, and on release day it broke streaming records on Spotify and Apple Music.

Drake — Views (2016)
Announced in 2014 as Views from the 6, the title lost its last three words on April 29, 2016, and the opening week came to 1.04 million units. One Dance, with Wizkid and Kyla, became the first track to pass a billion Spotify streams, on December 16, 2016. Business Insider prints the album third and Boardroom twelfth, so its top-three count stands at 1 of 9, and the 20-track copy linked is the one ListWorld already uses.

Drake — Scorpion (2018)
Twenty-five tracks over two discs, the first mostly rap, the second R&B and pop, with a posthumous Michael Jackson vocal on Don't Matter to Me. It opened with 732,000 units and a then-record 132.45 million Spotify streams in one day, and March 14 ends the second disc.

Drake — Iceman (2026)
On April 20, 2026 its release date went inside a 25-foot ice sculpture in downtown Toronto; fans went at it with pickaxes and hammers, and the date, May 15, came out the next day. Make Them Know closes the 18 tracks on the same Spotify page another ListWorld list links. Five of the nine were out by its release day without ranking it; of the 4 that count, Complex's fifth is the high point, so 0 of 4.

Drake — Honestly, Nevermind (2022)
It arrived as a surprise on June 17, 2022: a house and dance record leaning on Baltimore club, with Gordo and Black Coffee among the producers. Jimmy Cooks (feat. 21 Savage), the closer and its only guest turn, became his eleventh Hot 100 chart-topper. Business Insider's fifth is its high mark, with 0 of 8 eligible rankings putting it top three.

Drake — Thank Me Later (2010)
His first studio album leaked whole on June 1, 2010, two weeks before its June 15 release, and still topped the Billboard 200 on 447,000 copies. Timbaland produced Thank Me Now, the 5:29 closer, and Find Your Love's Hot 100 peak was five. Sixth, from Okayplayer and from HotNewHipHop, is its best placing and Boardroom's seventeenth its worst, and its top-three count is 0 of 9.

Drake — Maid of Honour (2026)
Surprise-released beside Iceman on May 15, 2026, it's a club record of dance, house and electro, with Gordo as the main producer and Central Cee and Popcaan among the guests. Princess closes it with emo-inspired singing, a 110,000-unit opening placed it third on Billboard's album chart, and of the 4 eligible rankings Complex is kindest, at ninth, so 0 of 4 have it top three.

Drake — Certified Lover Boy (2021)
Due in late 2020, it finally came out on September 3, 2021 under a Damien Hirst cover of pregnant-woman emojis, and nine of its songs reached the US top ten, then a record for one album. The Remorse, produced by 40 with Anthony Hamilton on extra vocals, closes it. Boardroom's sixth is its peak, Complex prints it seventeenth, and no eligible ranking seats it top three, 0 of 8.

Drake — For All the Dogs (2023)
His son Adonis drew the cover, and 23 tracks run past 84 minutes before Polar Opposites, co-produced by Lil Yachty, ends it. It opened at the Billboard 200 summit with 402,000 units; the Scary Hours Edition, out six weeks later with six more songs, counts as part of this entry. Exclaim! and NME predate it, leaving 7, and Boardroom's fifth is its best showing, so 0 of 7.

Drake — Dark Lane Demo Tapes (2020)
Five of its 14 tracks were out before May 1, 2020, among them War, a UK drill beat from the London producer AXL Beats that came out on Christmas Eve 2019; the other nine had no official release before it. A 223,000-unit opening got it to the Billboard 200's second spot, and with NME's tenth its peak among the rankings, it scores 0 of 7.

Drake — Habibti (2026)
Wikipedia counts it as his eleventh studio album, out May 15, 2026 with the other two: a slower, R&B-leaning record, and the link is its original 11-song release, 36:33, which 40's Prioritizing closes. Billboard's album chart had it at two on debut, with 114,000 units, and the FOMO deluxe of October 2 adds four songs and shares this slot. Twelfth at Business Insider is its best result, and it holds 0 of 4 top-three places.
