Future and Katy Perry’s Latest Billboard 200 Chart Performances
Future‘s future is so bright, he has to wear shades — with his “Mixtape Pluto” album becoming his third release to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2024. The only numeral 1 for Katy Perry right now, meanwhile, is embedded in her album title, as “143” lagged behind with a No. 6 debut.
Future’s Success with “Mixtape Pluto”
The Future set bowed with 129,000 equivalent album units, a chart breakout first reported by Billboard on Sunday. Streaming accounted for most of his tally. Although it’s the rapper’s third No. 1 album of the year (so far — let’s not underestimate him), “Mixtape Pluto” is the first of those three to come out solely under his name. He previously reached the peak with a pair of collaborative albums with Metro Boomin, “We Don’t Trust You” and the imaginatively titled “We Still Don’t Trust You.” Sales for the new one were minimal, at 10,000, but its songs were streamed a very robust 156.62 million times.
Katy Perry’s Debut with “143”
Perry’s “143” debuted with a disappointing 48,000 units. Her tally was weighted significantly more toward sales than streaming. Album sales were responsible for a healthy 37,500 of those units, Billboard reported, with multiple vinyl and digital variants offering boosts. As streaming goes, the songs from “143” picked up 13.11 million on-demand listens.
Other Notable Chart Performances
Billboard notes that the last artist popular and prolific enough to rack up three fresh No. 1 albums in the space of just six months was the Beatles, who did it in 1965-66. (That’s if you don’t count the Glee Cast as a single artist, as three “Glee” soundtrack albums reached the top in the space of two months in 2010.)
The only other new album to debut in the upper ranks of the chart was Lil Tecca’s “Plan A,” in at No. 9 with 42,000 equivalent album units. It’s his fourth album to make the top 10, but this marks his biggest weekly tally since 2019.
Top 10 Billboard 200 Chart Rankings
The remainder of the top 10 had Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” at No. 3 (100,000 units), followed by Post Malone’s country album at No. 4 (53,000), Morgan Wallen at No. 5 (also 53,000), Taylor Swift at No. 7 (47,000), Billie Eilish at No. 8 (45,000) and Noah Kahan at No. 10 (38,000).
Conclusion
The final results for the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart will be released Monday.
