Future's "The WZRD" marks a new milestone in his lengthy Billboard accomplishments.

Despite the fact that The WZRD is far from Future's best project, it still made an impact on the Billboard charts. The ATL sensation's latest body of work has now helped him pass Drake for the most #1s on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums.
