Rapper Future performs on the Coachella Stage during day 2 of the Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival (Weekend 1) at the Empire Polo Club on April 15, 2017 in Indio, California.

Future is on pace to knock A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie from the top spot.

Future is fresh off the release of his latest project, The WIZRD which serves as his first solo album since HNDRXX in 2017. Since the release of HNDRXX, the rapper delivered several projects including Super Slimey with Young Thug, Beast Mode 2 with Zaytoven, and WRLD On Drugs with Juice WRLD. All three projects were successful commercially but failed to attain the number one spot on the charts. However, that's not the case with The WIZRD. According to Billboard, the rapper is on pace to land his sixth number one album.

Future is looking at a major debut at the top of the Billboard 200 with his latest project, The WIZRD. The rapper's latest project is predicted to move anywhere between 110K to 130K units in its first week. If it does top the chart, Future will earn his sixth number one album. Future's already earned chart-toppers with DS2, Future, HNDRXX, EVOL, and What A Time To Be Alive with Drake. The WIZRD could also mark Future's 11th top 10 album on the chart.

In other chart-related news, Future recently tied Taylor Swift for 10th most Billboard Hot 100 entries. After the rapper kicked off the campaign for The WIZRD with "Crushed Up," the rapper earned his 77th entry. It seems like there's a good chance he'll surpass Swift with other songs on The WIZRD, given that that debut on the chart.
