According to Billboard, the Atlanta rapper’s ninth studio album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after notching 222,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Streaming-equivalent albums (SEA) accounted for 214,000 units (283.75 million on-demand streams), while 6,500 came from pure album sales.
I NEVER LIKED YOU not only boasts the biggest debut of 2022 so far, but it marks the highest first-week sales for a solo album in Future’s career. His previous best was 2020’s High Off Life, which opened with 153,000 album-equivalent units.
The only time he’s topped that figure was in 2015 when his What a Time To Be Alive collaboration with Drake moved 375,000 first-week copies.
I NEVER LIKED YOU also earns Future his eight consecutive No. 1 album in seven years, a streak that dates back to 2015’s DS2. Hendrix is now fifth on the list of rappers with the most Billboard 200 No. 1s behind only JAY-Z (14), Drake (10), Eminem (10) and Kanye West (10).
