Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — September 7, 2026

September 7, 2026, and Rod Wave refuses to give up the throne. His Don't Look Down, released just ten days ago, holds the No. 1 spot on Apple Music's US album chart, outlasting fresher releases from Beyoncé's B'DAY 20th Anniversary Deluxe and ADÉLA's PRIMA — both of which dropped September 4. That's the kind of gravity an established artist carries when fan anticipation is already baked into the first week. Below him, Drake dominates two of the top ten slots, with ICEMAN parked at No. 2 and HABIBTI sitting at No. 9, proving the Toronto rapper's catalog strategy is still minting chart positions months after release. Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love holds at No. 5 despite dropping in mid-June, a reminder that her audience treats new releases as long-tail events rather than opening weekends. Apple Music's album rankings reflect streaming volume, editorial placement, and playlist traction across its US user base — a snapshot of what's being played, replayed, and shared, not just what's newly available. Rankings are based on Apple Music's daily US album consumption data.

Trend Analysis

The US album chart for September 7, 2026, is a hip-pop stew with no clear winner except the streaming economy itself. Hip-hop and R&B command five of ten slots, anchored by Rod Wave, Drake (twice), and Pooh Shiesty at No. 3 with All Eyes on Shiesty. Pop sits at four positions via Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande's petal, KAROL G's NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO, and ADÉLA's PRIMA — the most surprising name on the board, breaking into a chart dominated by global superstars on her debut window. The lone outlier is Noah Kahan's The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs, a folk-leaning record that suggests Apple Music's US audience still carves out room for singer-songwriter projects when the songwriting hits hard. Beyoncé's B'DAY anniversary edition landing at No. 7 within four days of release signals strong catalog monetization around legacy acts. Expect more catalog reissues and Latin crossover pushes to test the upper ranks as Q4 approaches and the holiday window opens.
