Future has triumphed with his new album ‘I Never Liked You.’
For, the star-studded LP – which features Drake, Kanye West, Young Thug, Gunna, and Tems – has rocketed straight in at #1 on the Billboard 200.
Full story below…
Comprised of 22 tracks (following the mid-week arrival of a deluxe edition featuring five new songs), the LP launched with the highest first-week sales of the year so far.
‘I Never Liked You’ sold 222,000 equivalent units to snatch the top spot.
While a strategic merchandise bundle assisted with the feat, Future’s figure was powered in earnest by streaming.
Indeed, of the total sum, 214,000 were accrued from the 283.75 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks.
Stay tuned for more on Future’s chart touchdowns. Because it looks like several of the songs on the album are also set to make a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 too.

That’s good on him tbh atleast he isn’t considered a “major” artist that only sends up selling 9k…
I guess any excuse is better than none! I remember when Xtina’s Bionic “bombed” by selling 115k in its first week and everyone called her a flop. Now mofos are barely selling 20k in physical albums alone but are being saved by streaming which is not considered a legit sale and y’all call them winners. Streaming Just a way to inflate album sales so you don’t look like a total loser.
Actually Artist get paid for 1 Album sale per 1,500 album streams.
SO If the Masses Stream enough to push 20k pure to a SPS of over a 200k equivalent then so be it cause obviously Streaming directly affects Pure Sales so WHY SHOULDN’T STREAMS COUNT?
Its either make Streams Count or lose the privilege of streaming music altogether. Hardly makes sense to stream an album via subcription AND buy it.
There should have been two charts made, one for sales and one for streaming. Combining them makes the chart sort of arbitrary TBH
Like we are all pretending like people actuality bought that many copies but they didn’t. It’s really silly but whatever
Exactly streaming should be it’s own chart. It’s different from actual albums.
Camila got slayed yet again #SheStayLosing
Bad bunny I believe now has the biggest first-week sales of 2022
I thought Camila Cabello did?
Lol Na the flop selling only 9k! LMAO
LOL sales? Um, his actual physical sales were only 12k. This new generation would literally be nonexistent without streaming. LMAO.
