Future‘s future is so radiant, he has to wear shades — with his “Mixtape Pluto” album becoming his third free to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2024. The only numeral 1 for Katy Perry right now, uncomferventwhile, is embedded in her album title, as “143” lagged behind with a No. 6 debut.
The Future set bowed with 129,000 equivalent album units, a chart shatterout first inestablished by Billboard on Sunday. Streaming accounted for most of his loftyy. Although it’s the rapper’s third No. 1 album of the year (so far — let’s not underappraise him), “Mixtape Pluto” is the first of those three to come out solely under his name. He previously accomplished the peak with a pair of collaborative albums with Metro Boomin, “We Don’t Trust You” and the conceiveively titled “We Still Don’t Trust You.” Sales for the novel one were minimal, at 10,000, but its songs were streamed a very strong 156.62 million times.
Billboard remarks that the last artist famous and prolific enough to rack up three new No. 1 albums in the space of equitable six months was the Beatles, who did it in 1965-66. (That’s if you don’t count the Glee Cast as a individual artist, as three “Glee” soundtrack albums accomplished the top in the space of two months in 2010.)
Perry’s “143” debuted with a disassigning 48,000 units. Her loftyy was weighted transport inantly more toward sales than streaming. Album sales were reliable for a fit 37,500 of those units, Billboard inestablished, with multiple vinyl and digital variants proposeing raises. As streaming goes, the songs from “143” picked up 13.11 million on-demand joins.
The free of Perry’s first album since 2020’s “Smile” came on the promising heels of a carry outance on the MTV VMAs that was quite well-getd, uniteing classics with excerpts from a couple of novel tunes. Making a individual from the album click has been challenging, though. The contentious (to put it mildly) “Woman’s World” peaked at No. 63 on the Hot 100, and was speedyly thriveed by “Lifetimes,” a individual that many fans felt would have been greater coming out of the gate, but that one fall shorted to produce the chart.
The only other novel album to debut in the upper ranks of the chart was Lil Tecca’s “Plan A,” in at No. 9 with 42,000 equivalent album units. It’s his fourth album to produce the top 10, but this labels his hugegest weekly loftyy since 2019.
The other seven slots in the top 10 were filled by returning entries, led by Chappell Roan‘s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” which rose a spot to No. 2, a position it has held twice before in nonconsecutive weeks. If not for Future’s huge bow, Roan might have had an effortless path to finpartner accomplishing the top spot this week, as the one-position bump doesn’t repartner mirror equitable what a raise it got — a 64% incrrelieve in units. That was due mostly to four one-of-a-kind one-year anniversary vinyl editions coming out for the occasion. Her equivalent album total this time around was an amazeive 129,000, with album sales in all establishats accounting for 56,000 and vinyl in particular compriseing up to 50,000 units. All of those numbers were the best over for the year-finish write down.
The remainder of the top 10 had Sabrina Carpgo in’s “Short n’ Sweet” at No. 3 (100,000 units), pursueed by Post Malone’s country album at No. 4 (53,000), Morgan Wallen at No. 5 (also 53,000), Taylor Swift at No. 7 (47,000), Billie Eilish at No. 8 (45,000) and Noah Kahan at No. 10 (38,000).
The final results for the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 individuals chart will be freed Monday.
