The rapper becomes the first solo artist to debut three consecutive No. 1 albums in six months
Future officially makes history as his latest project, Mixtape Pluto, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The project not only becomes Future’s 11th No. 1 album but also marks a rare feat. It is his third new No. 1 album in just six months, following this spring’s We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. His trifecta of releases becomes the first to achieve the milestone this decade, as Future becomes the first act to achieve this since The Beatles in 1965-1966, and the first hip hop act ever. Most impressively, he is the first solo artist to achieve this chart feat ever, regardless of genre. Additionally, Mixtape Pluto debuts No. 1 across additional charts, including the Top Streaming Albums, R&B/Hip Hop Overall Consumption as well as No. 1 on the Rap Overall Consumption chart. Impressively, all 17 tracks on Mixtape Pluto landed this week on the Hot 100, making Future the first and only hip-hop artist to debut all songs from an entire project without any features on the chart.
Mixtape Pluto was executive produced by 808 Mafia boss Southside, and co-executive produced by Wheezy. A homage to the legendary Dungeon Family and late Rico Wade, Mixtape Pluto‘s album art depicts infrared purple lighting emanating from the windows of the original Dungeon Family house in Atlanta. It is the location of their storied studio and the basement of Wade’s mother’s home where the legacy of Future was born. It’s a fitting statement: the notably featureless Mixtape Pluto distills Future to his core essence.
Mixtape Pluto arrived on the heels of Future and Metro Boomin’s two explosive, chart-topping collaborative albums released earlier this year: We Don’t Trust You and its follow-up, We Still Don’t Trust You. The campaign not only ignited a historic moment in Hip Hop, it also fittingly dominated charts, landing Future his ninths and tenth number 1 albums on the Billboard 200, while the single “Like That” featuring Kendrick Lamar spent a blistering three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
With Mixtape Pluto, Future unleashed his third consecutive game-changing blockbuster in just six months, as he punctuates a historic 2024 run with a return to his rawest form. It highlights Future’s influence over the sound of hip-hop as a new chapter is written in the career of one of rap’s most inventive and influential wordsmiths. A body of work stripped down to a pure, unadulterated Future, it’s simply 100% Pluto.
