As reported here, ‘Purple Reign’ rapper Future is the first act in the history of the Billboard 200 to replace himself at the chart’s summit in successive weeks with two different albums.
After dominating the tally with the February 17th-released surprise album, ‘Future,’ the emcee – born Nayvadius Wilburn – followed up with another surprise album, ‘HNDRXX.’ The latter, like its predecessor, premiered at #1 on the album charts.
HNDRXX bows with 121,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 2, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 48,000 were in traditional album sales, 63,000 were in SEA and 11,000 were in TEA. (All units are rounded to the nearest thousand.) HNDRXX was released on Feb. 24 through A-1/Freebandz/Epic Records.
It follows Future’s self-titled No. 1 debut, which was issued on the same imprints/label, on Feb. 17. The self-titled album slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on the latest chart with 64,000 units (down 54 percent).
Tuck in to see who joins Wilburn in the top 25 on this week’s refreshed “Chart Check: Billboard 200”:

Future got more kids than Bebe lol
I swear I been trying to get into future 2 albums but I just can’t.. all the songs sound the same and then these videos he keep putting out are wack Ass hell! I miss music a few years ago all this new s*** is boring and stupid AF! #BRINGBACKTHEGREATS
HNDRXX is actually really good. TGJ, post about Nicki calmly dragging Remy on No Frauds
If Beyonce did low ass numbers like that people would call her a flop ass B*tch but it’s ok for people like him to do it. Smh Ed Sheeran would die if his numbers looked like that.lol
Beyonce would never do low ass number like this. She is a legend and her albums always are always a success.
The only rapper I ever liked with weave was Busta Rhymes. Future’s music sucks and the proof is that there is no song of his I can remember a year after it comes out.
Rihanna though. Still in the Top 20 over a year later. That reign tho….
Rihanna had got to be the most ‘assisted’ singer in history.the CD is selling 2,000 or so copies but still I the top 20 due to this dubious streaming….from a already streamed song ‘love on the brain’it doesn’t make sense to me at all.Isn’t that double counting?Let the album chart stand on sales alone.The figures are bad because the music is trash and wack.Case in point Drake’s views has 4.4million points in streaming lol..but guess how much has been sold? 1.6millio copies in real sales. Totally ridiculous.
“from a already
streamed song ‘love on the brain’it doesn’t make
sense to me at all.Isn’t that double counting?”
what the hell are u on about?
rihanna having both the highest charting solo album and song by a female.
The Rihanna case is hilarious and ridiculous. We officially have the artist who ended being benefited most by the new basic rules 🙂
Nice
