Future just landed another number one album on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with The WZRD, marking his ninth #1 on the chart. The latest feat now puts Future above Drake for most #1's on the chart in this decade. The two rappers previously tied for most #1 albums this decade with eight each including their joint effort, What A Time To Be Alive. Chris Brown, J. Cole, The Game, and The Weeknd tie for third place with five #1s each this past decade.

Additionally, Future recently debuted seven tracks off of the album on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album's lead single "Crushed Up" made a leap from 26-20. Additionally, "First Off" ft. Travis Scott (#24), "Never Stop" (#31), "Temptation" (#38), "Rocket Ship" (#39), “F&N” (#42), “Call The Coroner” (#47) and “Promise U That” (#49).
