How Impressive Are Future’s Chart Feats With His New ‘Mixtape Pluto’ Album?

Future's 'Mixtape Pluto' album has become his third No. 1 album of 2024 and the 11th No. 1 album of his career.

In addition to the set being Future’s third to top the Billboard 200 this year, it’s the 11th total in his career, moving him into a four-way tie (with Bruce Springsteen, Eminem and Ye) for fifth place among all artists, behind only The Beatles (19), Jay-Z, Taylor Swift (both 14) and Drake (13). It might really be a 9 or a 10 but it’s hard to be actively impressed by Future’s commercial consistency at this point because it’s been such a constant the past decade — he may not put up single-week numbers like the pop A+ listers, but he seems much less susceptible to any ebbing tides or major consumption shifts than many of them are. Kyle Denis: With no features and a tonal shift away from the R&B-leaning cuts of 2022’s I Never Liked You and 2024’s We Still Don’t Trust You, Mixtape Pluto transports Future back into a strictly rap bag, through which he doubles down on the villainy and vulnerability that make his iteration of emo-rap so enthralling.
