Future has joined the likes of JAY-Z and Eminem in an exclusive club of rappers to have at least 10 albums go to number one on the Billboard 200.
The Freebandz boss hit the landmark after his second joint album with Metro Boomin, We Still Don’t Trust You, debuted atop the chart, marking their second number one of the year.
While We Still Don’t Trust You shifted significantly less units than its predecessor, it still cruised to the top spot with 127,500 equivalent album units sold in its first week, according to Billboard.
The album marks Future’s 10th chart-topper, making him only the fifth rapper to reach the milestone after Eminem, JAY-Z, Kanye West and Drake.
Hov has 14 number one albums — the most of any rapper — while Drizzy follows closely behind with 13. Ye has 11 and Em has 10. The overall record belongs to The Beatles with 19.
With We Still Don’t Trust You topping the Billboard 200 only three weeks after We Don’t Trust You debuted in the same position, it marks the shortest gap between new number ones by an artist since Future replaced himself in 2017 in successive weeks with his self-titled album and HNDRXX.
We Don’t Trust You currently sits at number three, meaning Future and Metro Boomin are also in a rare club of artists to occupy two of the top three spots on the chart at the same time.
The duo also recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like That,” which notably features Kendrick Lamar’s diss verse aimed at Drake and J. Cole.
Cole’s response to the track, “7 Minute Drill,” debuted at number six on the chart before he decided to remove it from streaming services following his divisive apology to Kendrick while performing at Dreamville Festival.
