• #FutureHive Dreams Answered: Future & Zaytoven Working on 'Beast Mode 2'

The #FutureHive is having an awesome year.

  • Led Zeppelin Dominates Albums Chart with 'Out Door,' 'Coda.' 'Presence' Rereleases

    A slow week in album releases means that one performer dominated record sales this week, and it's not Taylor Swift: Led Zeppelin landed three different albums in spots nos. 2-4 on the charts. The last three titles in the band's discography—'In Through The Out Door,' 'Coda' and 'Presence,' respectively—were given remastered rereleases, featuring new content, which was enough to bring classic rock fans out to record stores to pick up the new entries. 'Out Door' sold 24,000 copies, and 'Coda' came in at just less than that total. 'Presence,' perhaps the band's least popular album, sold 23,500 copies.

  • Disney 'Descendants' Tops Billboard 200; Led Zeppelin, Drake Return to Top 10

    Another week and another soundtrack on top of the Billboard 200 as Descendants, the newest Disney TV movie, manages to get its musical half to no. 1. The compilation moved a total of 42,000 units, which was the lowest number of albums moved by a no. 1 so far during 2015. It may have been a slow sales week, but Disney's not going to complain about another high entry for one of its soundtracks (Teen Beach 2 cracked the Top 10 earlier this year). This is the fourth soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 so far during 2015-the most since 2009-as Descendants follows Empire, Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2. We'll see if another title joins that list by the end of the year.

  • Taylor Swift Loves Future's 'DS2,' But Brings Out Ciara & Russell Wilson

    That's right -- Taylor Swift has officially joined the #FutureHive. Future's DS2 recently debuted at No. 1, ahead of Swift's 1989, and the "Trap N*ggas" rapper was elated just to be mentioned in the same sentence as the world's biggest pop star. Future reposted an Instagram showing DS2 next to 1989, praising the "legendary" "Bad Blood" singer, and soon after, Swift commented on his post -- which "made her day" -- and called herself a "huge fan" of Dirty Sprite 2.

  • Future and Drake Get Suited Up in Sneek Peek for "Where Ya At" Video [TRAILER]

  • Jill Scott Tops Slow Billboard 200, Taylor Swift Spends 40 Weeks in Top 10

    Jill Scott took advantage of a slower (if more competitive) week of album sales, coming in at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the second time in a row with her album 'Woman.' Although she can be please with the second no. 1 record in her career, the 62,000 equivalent copies she sold of her new set is less than half of what 'The Light Of The Sun' sold in its first week during 2011. 'Woman' marks the first no. 1 for a solo female performer in nearly five months.

  • Future, Jason Isbell and Tame Impala Have Career-Best Albums Sales Weeks

    Future's 'Dirty Sprite 2' was expected to top the Billboard albums charts, but not even the emcee himself could have predicted just how well the album would do: DS2 moved 131,500 actual albums, more than double what Honest sold during 2014. Needless to say, it was the performer's best sales week to date.

  • Future's 'Dirty Sprite 2' Leads Billboard 200; Alan Jackson and Jason Isbell Rep

    Future found the secret to moving more albums with his 'Dirty Sprite 2': Don't give people time to think about it. The album topped the Billboard 200 with more than 147,000 equivalent copies sold, just two weeks after the album was announced. It's been a little more than a year since he released Honest, and he more than doubled the sales of that effort. The quick-release method has helped other rappers Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill get to the top of the charts as well during 2015.
