Future Is the First Artist in History to Have Two Different No. 1 Albums Two Weeks in a Row
By Evan Minsker and Noah Yoo.
Future has made chart history. This week, he has the No. 1 album in America with his new album HNDRXX**, Billboardreports. Last week, his new self-titled album also debuted at No. 1. His two consecutive chart toppers means that he’s the first artist ever to have two different albums debut at the top spot two weeks in a row, Billboard notes. HNDRXX has bumped FUTUREdown to the No. 2 slot, making Future the first artist in a year to have the No. 1 and No. 2 albums at the same time. (The last artist to achieve that feat was Prince, whose Very Best of Prince and Purple Rain reached the top two spots after the icon died.) HNDRXX sold 121,000 equivalent units total, with 48,000 of those in traditional sales and 63,000 in streaming equivalents.
