From Billboard:

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.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new March 18-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, March 7.

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).

With Future’s HNDRXX at No. 1 and his self-titled release at No. 2, the rapper is the first act in nearly one year to have both the Nos. 1 and 2 albums simultaneously. The last act to do so was Prince, following his death last year, when, on the May 7-dated chart, he re-entered the list at No. 1 with The Very Best of Prince and at No. 2 with the Purple Rain soundtrack. Before that, Nelly was the last act to manage the achievement, way back on Oct. 2, 2004, when he debuted at Nos. 1 and 2 with Suit and Sweat, respectively.

Only 10 acts, including Future, have been Nos. 1 and 2 at the same time since 1963, when Billboard combined the Billboard 200 from previously separate mono and stereo album charts into one overall list.

If you’re not familiar, initial reports are claiming that Future’s overload of music releases are in an attempt to pay back Rocko, who sued Future over unpaid debts (Future is signed to Rocko’s record label). Here’s what Hip-Hop Overload said:

Someone in Atlanta is smiling after details we got in the Rocko & Future lawsuit. Word we got was Future will give Rocko all royalties from his next two albums, he will also give Rocko 50% of touring revenues for next two years also. Future signed a 360 agreement with LA Reid which allows Epic to recoup the advance they foreited to help Future pay back Rocko.

Future will now give a percentage of any deals made outside of music to Epic until his back advancements are paid or for the next five years, whichever comes first. LA/Epic will also be collecting on the front end on all of Future’s music ventures.

Since then, it’s only reignited an apparent beef between the former friends, beginning with Future’s response to a recent Q&A…

…to the exchanges that you’ll see below. Regardless, Future’s second album in two weeks — HNDRXX — is still dropping at midnight. You can get that and the self-titled release here.
