With a string of Billboard 200 #1 hits (among his solo albums) dating back to 2015’s ‘DS2,’ rapper Future is no stranger to the pressure of keeping a winning streak alive.

And though the buzz around his latest project, the July 10-released ‘The Real Me,’ doesn’t exactly mirror the excitement that’s accompanied some of his more trumpeted efforts, industry analysts are pretty sure its first-week sales willl still ensure his Billboard victory run remains intact.

Future’s ‘The Real Me’ 

Predicted First-Week Sales (SPS):  131,000 units

Predicted Billboard 200 Debut:  #1

According to HDD, ‘The Real Me‘ is set to debut atop next week’s Billboard 200 with total first-week sales slightly north of 131,000.

If the prediction proves true, it will mark the 12th chart-topper of Future’s career and first return to the pole position since making history with the Metro Boomin-assisted ‘We Still Don’t Trust You‘ LP in 2024.

With the crowning of ‘Real’ at #1, the 3-time GRAMMY winner will move to third place on the all-time list of American acts with the most toppers on the tally following Taylor Swift (15) and JAY-Z (14).

Among all artists, Future will rank fifth following The Beatles (19), Drake (15), Swift (15), and JAY (14).
