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

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.
