On Friday (Sept. 20), Future released his new project, MIXTAPE PLUTO, featuring 17 songs with no guest appearances. The production of the mixtape includes contributions from Southside, London On Da Track, Wheezy, ATL Jacob, FNZ, and more.
According to Hits Daily Double, the Atlanta rapper’s latest release is projected to earn between 120,000 to 135,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. This would likely place MIXTAPE PLUTO at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, ahead of Katy Perry’s 143 and Lil Tecca’s PLAN A, which also dropped on the same day. If it tops the charts, Future will be the first artist to achieve three Billboard 200 No. 1 albums in under six months.
Earlier this year, Future secured two No. 1 debuts alongside Metro Boomin with WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. The latter marked Future’s 10th No. 1 on the Billboard 200, tying him with Eminem.
Other Hip-Hop artists who have reached or surpassed this milestone include Kanye West, Drake, and JAY-Z. Metro Boomin has five No. 1 albums, thanks to a previous release featuring artists like J. Cole, Ty Dolla Sign, and ASAP Rocky.
Before MIXTAPE PLUTO dropped, Future paid tribute to his cousin and Organized Noize founder Rico Wade, who passed away earlier this year. “My cousin never died in my eyes. Rico Wade, you already know what u mean to me!” Future tweeted. “I thank the most high for blessin’ me with the greatest human being that it could ever be! Billionaire status [’cause he’s watching] over us.” He also shared, “I did everything I said I was [gonna] do. Solid… I keep it 1000 with myself as well as my familia. That’s a real [win].” The mixtape’s artwork features a tribute to Wade through an image of his former home.
