Future just may be the hardest working man in the rap game.
Releasing four albums in five years (excluding a multitude of mixtapes), the rapper/producer has delivered his fair share of hits to the Billboard Hot 100 in his brief career. Similarly, as his recent successes aboard the Billboard 200 show, his fans are by no means complaining about the wealth of music he’s lent. In fact, if the commercial response to his latest project – surprise album ‘Evol’ – is any indication, they simply can’t get enough.
After two consecutive number 1 stays in 2015 (see: ‘DS2’ and the Drake-assisted ‘What A Time To Be Alive’), it appears fans of Ciara‘s baby’s daddy should expect yet another check in atop the album charts in his near future…

A1/Freebandz/Epic’s Future has topped the HITS Album Sales Chart with 108k for EVOL. On the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart, the Apple exclusive release also rules with 139k.
Dethroning Rihanna‘s ‘Anti’ from the top spot, ‘Evol’s performance on charts is all the more impressive considering its exclusivity to Apple Music and it beating out Coldplay‘s chart rebound the week of their Super Bowl performance.
Check back next week when we reveal the full chart check.
