Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Drake has made history by becoming the first artist to simultaneously hold the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart with his surprise three-album drop: Iceman, Habibti, and Maid Of Honour. Iceman debuts at #1, marking Drake's 15th #1 album, tying him with Taylor Swift for the most #1 albums among solo artists (behind only the Beatles with 19). While the article notes that creatively the albums are uneven, commercially they represent a major achievement.
