Future Scores 11th No. 1 Album on Billboard 200
Future continues his dominance in 2024, as his latest project, Mixtape Pluto, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking his third chart-topping album this year. Released on September 20, Mixtape Pluto sold an impressive 129,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, driven largely by streaming. This achievement ties Future with industry giants like Eminem and Bruce Springsteen for the fifth-most No. 1 albums in Billboard history, further cementing his place as one of hip-hop’s most influential artists.
Produced by Southside and featuring a raw, stripped-back sound, Mixtape Pluto pays tribute to Future’s early career roots and the legendary Dungeon Family. The 17-track album notably lacks guest features, allowing Future's distinct sound to take center stage. The project has been praised for its authenticity and lyrical depth, as Future returns to the dark, introspective themes that have defined his career.
The release of Mixtape Pluto also marks Future's third No. 1 album in 2024, following his collaborative projects with Metro Boomin, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. This achievement makes him the fastest artist to secure three No. 1 albums in a single year since The Beatles, solidifying his status as a consistent hitmaker​.
With Mixtape Pluto, Future not only proves his staying power in the industry but also shows his versatility, blending trap beats with introspective lyrics that explore both personal and societal struggles. The success of this project ensures that Future remains a dominant force in hip-hop as 2024 comes to a close.
