Future has secured his 12th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, according to Billboard. His latest studio release, The Real Me, debuts atop the chart dated July 25, 2026.

Streaming activity drove the majority of that sum, accounting for 118,000 of the total units.

How many No. 1 albums does Future have?

With this latest leader, Future now has a dozen No. 1 albums. This achievement moves him ahead of Eminem, who has 11, and places him as the rap act with the third-most chart-toppers. Among all artists, only The Beatles (19), Drake and Taylor Swift (both with 15), and JAY-Z (14) have more No. 1 albums.

The Real Me was announced on June 15 and released on July 9. Its lead single, "Radio," dropped on June 26 and has reached the top 25 on both the Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

Who else debuted in the top 10?

Also making a notable entrance in the latest top 10 is The Rolling Stones. Their new album, Foreign Tongues, debuts at No. 7, extending the band's all-time record for the most top 10 albums on the Billboard 200.

Rounding out the top-tier debuts is the soundtrack to the TV series Heated Rivalry, which skates in at No. 9. This marks the first soundtrack from a TV series to debut in the top 10 in over a decade, following the first season of Empire in 2015.
