The projections for Future's Honest and Iggy Azalea's The New Classic had us all thinking that the Australian bombshell's debut album would outsell Future's sophomore effort. The numbers are in today, and this is not the case.
Iggy Azalea did move the amount within her projected sales, with 52,000 copies flying off the shelves opening week. This landed her a debut of #3 on the Billboard 200. However, Future one-upped her and in turn sold more than his projected amount of 45-50k, by moving 53,000 copies opening week and landing the #2 debut on the Billboard 200. Future also moved more than his debut Pluto, which did 41,000 in 2012.
No one seems to be able to move out the Frozen soundtrack from its #1 spot though.
