BACK 2 BACK!
Future is one of the rap artists of the today and that buzz was solidified after it was announced that his last two albums, the self-titled release and Hydrixx, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. This makes the Atlanta rapper the first artist in the six-decade history of the chart to have two new chart-topping albums in consecutive weeks. The feat has many historic implications, according to a report Not only is Future the first to replace himself on the charts since 1968, he’s also the first solo act to ever do so. Only eight other acts have held the number one and two spots at the same time on the chart since 1963, which is when Billboard first introduced the current iteration of the 200 chart. The artist’s self-titled, short-notice release dropped on February 17 and the impact was felt immediately, including from some speculation that the Freebandz boss took shots at rising from Designer, who some say stole Future’s style for his own use.
Seven days later Hydrixx dropped to similar fanfare (also with a surprise announcement just days before the album arrived) and it too soared to the top of the Billboard 200. The release is Future’s fifth chart-topping debut for an album.
