alexanderao Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Future Makes History With Back-to-Back No. 1 Debuts on Billboard 200 Albums Chart Quote As expected, Future debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated March 18) with HNDRXX, his fifth chart topper. It 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 bows 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 and 11,000 were in TEA. (All units are rounded to the nearest thousand.) HNDRXX was released on Feb. 24 through A-1/Freebandz/Epic Records. It follows Future’s self-titled No. 1 debut, which was issued on the same imprints/label, on Feb. 17. The self-titled album slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on the latest chart with 64,000 units (down 54 percent). HNDRXX is Future’s fifth No. 1 album. It follows his self-titled set, Evol (2016), What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake) and DS2 (both in 2015). At No. 3 on the new Billboard 200 is Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, slipping down one slot with 58,000 units (down 2 percent). Country quartet Little Big Town lands its fourth top 10 album, as The Breaker bows at No. 4 with 51,000 units (44,000 from traditional album sales). The group previously visited the top 10 with Pain Killer (No. 7 in 2014), Tornado (No. 2, 2012) and The Reason Why (No. 5, 2010). Little Big Town has the second-most top 10s among country duo/groups this decade, trailing only Lady Antebellum, which has five top 10s since 2010. (Lady Antebellum has a total of six top 10s, stretching back to its 2008 self-titled release.)

Duca Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) At No. 5 on the Billboard 200, the Trolls soundtrack surges up five rungs with a 35 percent gain (rising to to 50,000 units). It sold 35,000 copies (up 41 percent) in the tracking week. The increases are likely owed to ABC TV’s broadcast of the Academy Awards (Feb. 28), which opened with a performance of the album’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake (it was nominated for best original song). in its 23rd week 6th bestselling soundtrack of the decade Edited March 5, 2017 by Duca

infrared Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 1 hour ago, FutureHive said: Future won. deal with it he won a game in which he was the only one playing? It's not like anyone is upset, but it's a stretch to call this some groundbreaking ****, especially when it's not like anything is out to stop him. Had he tried it this week, Ed would've blocked him for filth.
