Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — September 3, 2026

Trend Analysis

Hip-hop and rap dominate the September 3, 2026 US Apple Music albums chart, claiming five of the ten slots — Rod Wave at number one, Drake with ICEMAN and HABIBTI at two and eight, Pooh Shiesty's All Eyes on Shiesty at five, and Future's The Real Me closing out the top ten. Latin presence is unusually strong this snapshot, with KAROL G's NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO holding at number four. Pop and indie-folk split the remaining space: Olivia Rodrigo's confessional pop sits at three, Ariana Grande's petal at six, and Noah Kahan's The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs rounds out the genre at seven. Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem is the chart's outlier — released more than a year earlier in May 2025, it shows how country catalogs can sustain year-plus streaming relevance when a tour cycle or viral moment keeps an artist culturally sticky. The chart skews heavily toward recent releases, though, with seven of ten albums dropping within the past five months. Expect Rod Wave and Drake to trade positions over the coming week as new release Friday approaches.
