• Drake has released eight albums, two solo mixtapes, and three collab projects since his 2010 debut.
  • BI’s senior music reporter ranked all 13 from worst to best (excluding compilations).
  • “Take Care” took the top spot, while his newest album, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” was ranked 10th.

Ever since Drake signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money label in 2009, he has proven to be a dominant force, reigning over the charts with few signs of stopping.

Drake has racked up 14 No. 1 albums to date, tied for the second-most ever, from 2010’s “Thank Me Later” to 2025’s “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.”

Drake has also shifted the very ways in which we define and judge albums. He releases record-breaking, studio-quality projects but calls them “mixtapes” or “playlists.” He drops so much music so often that it becomes difficult to keep up, let alone compare and contrast.

But let’s do it anyway. For our purposes, a Drake “album” is any full-length LP released after he signed with a major label (which means “So Far Gone” is ineligible, sorry). This ranking also excludes compilation projects like “Care Package” and “Dark Lane Demo Tapes.”

The remaining contenders are ranked below from worst to best.
