Will Future and Metro Boomin ‘Still’ Make It to No. 1 With Their Latest Sequel Set?
In this week's The Contenders, two of the biggest names in rap reunite for their second collaborative full-length album in as many months.

The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week (for the upcoming Billboard 200 dated April 27), Future and Metro Boomin look to go two for two at No. 1 with their We Still Don’t Trust You album, following March’s chart-topping We Don’t Trust You team-up.


Future & Metro Boomin, We Still Don’t Trust You (Freebandz/Boominati/Epic/Republic): Part of the reason that We Don’t Trust You generated the immediate excitement that it did – including a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 with a then-2024-best 251,000 first-week units – was because fans knew it was just part one of two for Future and Metro Boomin. The superstar hip-hop duo also promised a follow-up just a few weeks later, and as of last Friday, it is here: We Still Don’t Trust You, the big-budget sequel to their March blockbuster, featuring the same rapper-producer chemistry and the same stacked (though uncredited, at least initially) guest list as its predecessor.

Still actually runs well longer than its earlier series installment, with an 18-song official tracklist and then a seven-track bonus set – like a deluxe edition that Future and Metro didn’t even wait to drop on fans. And the supporting cast is perhaps even stronger this time around, with the 25 total tracks boasting cameos from The Weeknd, Lil Baby, Chris Brown, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla $ign, and of course, J. Cole – whose appearance is particularly headline-making news, given his (brief) involvement with the ever-expanding hip-hop civil war kicked off by Kendrick Lamar’s pot-stirring verse on the prior Future/Metro set’s Billboard Hot 100-topping “Like That.”

Despite the expanded tracklist and guest list, it seems unlikely that Still will debut with the same sort of robust first-week number as the original Trust. On DSPs, the set’s songs are not streaming quite as resoundingly – in fact, on the daily charts for both Spotify and Apple Music, the top two Future and Metro songs are currently “Like That” and “Type Shit,” both from their March release. Nonetheless, songs from Still are still scattered across both listings – led by the set’s pulsing neon title track, its leadoff cut – and with the whopping 25 tracks to rack up streams, it’s still in prime position to compete for the No. 1 spot on next week’s Billboard 200. (And with three different CD versions set for release this Friday – vinyl will follow in July – it may remain in the mix for the following week as well.)

Linkin Park, Papercuts (Warner/Machine Shop): It’s been a big year already for Linkin Park, with their new-old single “Friendly Fire” topping the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, and an upcoming biography on the band announced for October, written by Billboard’s own Jason Lipshutz. On Friday, they also released their first-ever hits compilation Papercuts, a 20-track set spanning the band’s 20-plus-year career — which still seems as relevant and vital as ever in 2024, even six years after the death of lead singer Chester Bennington.

In addition to signature smashes like “In the End,” “Numb” and “What I’ve Done,” Papercuts includes “Friendly Fire” (originally recorded for 2017’s One More Light), as well as last year’s rock radio-dominating “Lost” (originally recorded for 2003’s Meteora), and the limitedly available “QWERTY” (previously released on 2006’s fan club-only LP Underground 6.0 EP). While racking up the usual streams for these metal and alternative classics, the set is also expected to post strong sales, thanks to the availability of eight different-colored vinyl variants, including exclusives for Target, Barnes & Noble, Walmart and the band’s official store, as well as CD and cassette options.

Maggie Rogers, Don’t Forget Me (Debay Sounds/Capitol): Five years after her debut album Heard It in a Past Life turned heads with its No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200 – eventually leading to a best new artist Grammy nomination for the Maryland singer-songwriter – Maggie Rogers appears to be bigger than ever. Her recently announced Don’t Forget Me tour for the spring and summer will feature her first-ever arena shows in its second leg, including dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.

Those shows will, of course, come in support of her third album of the same name: Don’t Forget Me was released last Friday, and has been met with some of her best reviews yet. The set is not expected to stream in blockbuster numbers, but should sell well, with five different vinyl variants – including exclusives for Spotify and indie retailers, and a signed edition sold through her webstore, as well as a CD (also available in a signed webstore edition) and a cassette option.

IN THE MIX

Chris Brown, 11:11 (RCA/CBE): Brown’s late 2023 set 11:11 was already packed to the gills, with its title referencing the number of tracks on each of the album’s two streaming-divided halves, including minor Hot 100 hits like “Sensational” and “Summer Too Hot.” But the set’s new deluxe edition adds a new third stretch with 13 new cuts, taking the total from 22 to 35, including new collabs from recognizable names like Bryson Tiller, Lil Wayne and (again) Davido. (Neither the original nor deluxe edition is yet available for what would surely be an unwieldy physical release.)

Lana Del Rey, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (Polydor/Interscope): Seems like Lana Del Rey will never run out of vinyl reissues of her acclaimed 2023 set, and in this case the timing makes particular sense: She offered a new “festival orange” pressing of Ocean Blvd to go with her Friday night headlining slot at weekend one of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend. The reissue should sell nicely, and the album will also be helped by the general boost in streaming her buzzy set has given her catalog for the days since – assisted by an appearance from fellow alt-pop superstar (and longtime LDR acolyte) Billie Eilish.

Future & Metro Boomin’s ‘We Still Don’t Trust You’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

4/21/2024

By Keith Caulfield

The set reigns only three weeks after the pair's "We Don't Trust You" bowed at No. 1. Plus: Linkin Park's first hits set "Papercuts" debuts in the top 10.

Future and Metro Boomin’s second collaborative album, We Still Don’t Trust You, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated April 27), with 127,500 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 18, according to Luminate. It’s the sequel project to the pair’s We Don’t Trust You, which opened at No. 1 on the April 6-dated chart (with 251,000 units in its first week). 

With We Still Don’t Trust You arriving atop the Billboard 200 only three weeks after We Don’t Trust You debuted at No. 1, that marks the shortest gap between new No. 1s by an artist since Future replaced himself at No. 1 in 2017 in successive weeks with his self-titled album (March 11, 2017, chart) and HNDRXX (March 18, 2017), both of which debuted at No. 1.

On the latest Billboard 200, We Don’t Trust You rises 4-3 with 83,000 equivalent album units earned (down 17%). In the last 20 years, there have only been seven instances of acts charting two albums in the top three at the same time. Prince did it twice following his death in 2016 (The Very Best of Prince and the Purple Rain soundtrack on the May 7-14, 2016 charts), Future did so once in 2017 with his back-to-back No. 1s (Future and HNDRXX on the March 18, 2017, chart), Taylor Swift achieved the feat three times (Dec. 26, 2020, with Evermore and Folklore; and Dec. 9 and 23, 2023, with 1989 [Taylor’s Version] and Midnights) and now Future and Metro Boomin on the latest chart with We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You.

Future’s total No. 1 count on the Billboard 200 now rises to 10, while Metro Boomin collects his fifth leader. Only 10 acts have earned at least 10 No. 1s: The Beatles (a record 19), Jay-Z (14), Drake and Swift (13 each), Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye (formerly Kanye West) (11 each), Eminem, Future and Elvis Presley (10 each).

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Linkin Park’s first hits compilation, Papercuts, debuts at No. 6, marking the 11th top 10-charting effort for the rock band.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 27, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 23. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of We Still Don’t Trust You’s first-week unit sum of 127,500, SEA units comprise 124,500 (equaling 162.57 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 25 tracks), traditional album sales comprise 2,500 (the album was only available to purchase as a digital download) and TEA units comprise 500.

A CD configuration of We Still Don’t Trust You is due for release on April 26, while its vinyl is scheduled to drop in July. We Don’t Trust You, meanwhile, was issued on CD on April 19, while its vinyl is also due in July.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter slips to No. 2 after spending its first two weeks atop the Billboard 200. It earned 98,000 equivalent album units in its third week (down 24%). Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 One Thing at a Time rises 5-4 with 71,000 (down 1%). Noah Kahan’s Stick Season jumps 8-5 with 51,000 (up 14%), following the release of the Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) deluxe edition across four vinyl variants and on CD. The deluxe set was originally released on June 9, 2023, as a digital download and streaming album.

Linkin Park’s first hits compilation album, Papercuts, debuts at No. 6 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 23,000 (equaling 32.04 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 20 songs), album sales comprise 20,500 and TEA units comprise 500. The album’s sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants, as well as a CD, cassette and digital download.

Papercuts boasts 14 of the band’s 19 top 10s on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, including 10 of its 12 No. 1s on the list.

In total, Link Park has achieved 11 top 10s on the Billboard 200 albums chart: Hybrid Theory (No. 2 in 2002), Reanimation (No. 2, 2002), Meteora (No. 1, 2003), MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course (with Jay-Z, No. 1 in 2004), Minutes to Midnight (No. 1, 2007), A Thousand Suns (No. 1, 2010), Living Things (No. 1, 2012), Recharged (No. 10, 2013), The Hunting Party (No. 3, 2014), One More Light (No. 1, 2017) and Papercuts (No. 6, 2024).

Benson Boone’s Fireworks & Rollerblades skates 6-7 in its second week with 43,000 equivalent album units earned (down 25%). Three former No. 1s round out the top 10, as SZA’s chart-topping SOS rises 10-8 with just over 40,000 (up 1%), Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 11-9 with 40,000 (up 1%) and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine falls 7-10 with nearly 40,000 (down 17%).

Eagles Fly Back Onto Charts With ‘To the Limit: The Essential Collection’
By Keith Caulfield
04/25/2024

The band's latest best-of debuts in the top 10 across multiple charts, including Top Album Sales & Top Rock Albums.

Eagles fly back onto Billboard’s charts with the band’s new best-of, To the Limit: The Essential Collection. The retrospective debuts at No. 9 on Top Album Sales, No. 6 on Top Rock Albums, No. 8 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums and No. 8 on Top Current Album Sales (all charts dated April 27). It also launches at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 – the group’s 12th top 40-charting effort on the tally.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rank, respectively, the week’s most popular rock, and rock and alternative albums by equivalent album units. Top Current Album Sales ranks the week’s top-selling new/current albums (non-catalog/older titles).

To the Limit: The Essential Collection sold 7,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending April 18 (as reflected on the charts dated April 27). Physical sales comprise 6,500 of the album’s first-week sales (5,000 on CD and 1,500 on vinyl) while digital download sales comprise 500.

At No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter rises two spots to capture its second week atop the list (28,000 sold; up 37%). The album’s physical edition (on CD and vinyl) became widely available to all retailers during the tracking week, after previously been sold exclusively through the artist’s webstore.

Linkin Park’s first greatest hits album, Papercuts, debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales with 20,500 copies sold. The album’s sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants, as well as a CD, cassette and digital download. It’s the 11th top 10-charting effort on Top Album Sales for the band.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s minisode 3: TOMORROW falls 1-3 in its second week with 19,000 sold (down 82%).

Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 4 with 10,000 sold (797%), largely from sales of a new vinyl variant, an “festival orange”-colored edition.

Maggie Rogers’ Don’t Forget Me opens at No. 5 with 10,000 sold, marking the artist’s third top 10-charting effort. Its sales were supported by its availability across eight physical iterations (among them were two signed editions) and a digital download.

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season surges 28-6 with nearly 10,000 sold, following the release of the Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) deluxe edition across four vinyl variants and on CD. The deluxe set was originally released on June 9, 2023, as a digital download and streaming album.

Mark Knopfler is back on Top Album Sales with his first new entry since 2018, as his latest studio effort, One Deep River, starts at No. 7 with 8,000 copies sold. It’s his first entry on the list since his last studio album Down the Road Wherever debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Dec. 1, 2018-dated list.

Rounding out the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart are Taylor Swift’s chart-topping Lover (9-8 with nearly 8,000; up 4%), Eagles’ To the Limit at No. 9 and Swift’s former leader 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (holding at No. 10 with nearly 7,000; up 2%).

In the week ending April 18, there were 1.117 million albums sold in the U.S. (down 13.7% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 828,000 (down 14.1%) and digital albums comprised 289,000 (down 12.4%).
