As expected, Future’s HNDRXX debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It’s his fifth chart topper and replaces his own self-titled album, which bowed at No. 1 a week earlier.
Future is the first act in the nearly 61-year history of the chart to achieve back-to-back No. 1 debuts in successive weeks. The rapper is also the first artist to succeed himself at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 at all (counting not only debuts) since 1968. He’s additionally the first soloist ever to claim the honor.
HNDRXX comes in with 121,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 2, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 48,000 were in traditional album sales, 63,000 were in SEA (stream equivalent albums) and 11,000 were in TEA (track equivalent albums). It follows Future’s self-titled No. 1 debut.
