Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — September 5, 2026
Rod Wave's 'Don't Look Down' continues its reign at #1 on the US Apple Music Albums chart as September 5, 2026 unfolds, holding off competition from heavyweights like Drake and Beyoncé just one day after her 'B'DAY (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)' dropped. The chart captures the most-streamed full-length projects in America right now, a daily snapshot of listener devotion rather than just hype. Rod Wave's sticky, emotional trap sound keeps pulling repeat plays, while Drake's 'ICEMAN' (released back in May) proves his catalog has serious staying power — it's not just sitting at #2, it's thriving weeks later. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo's 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' sits quietly at #5, a reminder that pop heartbreak still travels far on streaming. The mix tells you something real about American listening habits in early September: rap dominates, nostalgia projects land hard, and new releases like ADÉLA's 'PRIMA' can crack the top 10 if the timing is right. This data comes from Apple Music's daily album rankings, tracking streams across the United States.

Current Rankings

Rod Wave's 'Don't Look Down' holds the #1 spot nearly a week after its August 28 release, a sign the project is pulling sustained streaming volume rather than just opening-day spikes. Its emotional, soul-sampled trap production keeps fans locked into repeat listens.
- 0
Drake's 'ICEMAN' sits at #2 months after its May 15 release, proof that Drake's full-length drops maintain chart presence long after launch week hype fades.
- 0
Karol G's Spanish-language album 'NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO' lands at #3, reinforcing how Latin music continues to break through on mainstream US album charts.
- 0
Beyoncé's 'B'DAY (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)' debuts at #4 just one day after its September 4 release, a testament to the project's enduring cultural pull two full decades later.
- 0
Olivia Rodrigo's 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' holds at #5, showing the pop songwriter's vulnerable, guitar-driven sound still resonates with steady streaming audiences.
- 0
Pooh Shiesty's 'All Eyes on Shiest' climbs to #6 after its late-August drop, a marker of the rapper's continued grip on the Southern trap streaming audience.
- 0
Ariana Grande's 'petal' lands at #7 after its late-July release, demonstrating that the pop star's softer, more intimate direction still pulls consistent daily streams.
- 0
ADÉLA's 'PRIMA' breaks into the top 10 at #8 right after its September 4 release, a notable debut for a newer artist competing against established streaming heavyweights.
- 0
Noah Kahan's 'The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs' holds at #9 more than four months after its April 25 release, a marker of the folk-pop artist's unusually sticky catalog.
- 0
Drake's second entry, 'HABIBTI,' lands at #10 — the same release date as 'ICEMAN' — showing how multi-album drops can spread their catalog presence across multiple chart positions at once.
Trend Analysis
Rap and hip-hop command six of the ten spots on the US Apple Music Albums chart for September 5, 2026, with Rod Wave, Drake (holding two slots with 'ICEMAN' and 'HABIBTI'), Pooh Shiesty, and others dominating the genre count. That's not surprising for the US market, but the durability of Drake's May releases is striking — 'ICEMAN' sits at #2 and 'HABIBTI' at #10, meaning a four-month-old drop is still pulling enough daily streams to outpace fresher competition. Pop holds ground through Olivia Rodrigo's moody #5 entry and Ariana Grande's 'petal' at #7, while Karol G's Spanish-language 'NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO' proves Latin music's staying power on mainstream charts at #3. The two biggest surprises: Beyoncé's 20-year-old 'B'DAY' cracking the top five the day after a deluxe reissue, and Noah Kahan's spring-released 'The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs' still charting at #9. Expect the chart to shift hard once Beyoncé's anniversary rollout fully kicks in.
