Atlanta rapper Future's self-titled album sold 140,000 units
in its first week, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan
for the week ending Feb. 23.
The rapper released another album, "HNDRXX," on Friday, which
Billboard said is projected to top the charts next week.
Future's album knocked off last week's chart-topper, the
soundtrack to the "Fifty Shades Darker" film, which dropped to
No. 3 this week. Bruno Mars' "24K Magic" held steady at No. 2.
New entries in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart this
week included R&B singer Charlie Wilson at No. 7 with "In it To
Win It," alt-rocker Ryan Adams' "Prisoner" at No. 8 and
bluegrass-country artist Alison Krauss at No. 9 with "Windy
City."
On the Digital Songs chart, which measures online single sales,
Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" held onto the top spot with another
147,000 copies sold.
