Future notches his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart — and third in 2024 — as Mixtape Pluto debuts atop the list dated Oct. 5. The long-teased set’s Sept. 20 release date was announced on Sept. 11. Mixtape Pluto earned 129,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 26, according to Luminate, largely driven by streaming activity.

Future scored two No. 1s earlier in 2024 with his two co-billed sets with Metro Boomin: We Don’t Trust You (a debut atop the April 6 chart) and We Still Don’t Trust You (also debuting at No. 1, April 27). The last act to notch three new No. 1 albums faster than Future — who has earned his three latest in a span of just six months — was the Glee Cast, which notched three chart-topping soundtracks in less than two months in 2010. If one discounted the Glee titles, as they were soundtracks and not traditional artist-driven albums, the last act to notch three new No. 1s as fast as Future was The Beatles in 1965-66. The Fab Four collected its fifth, sixth and seventh No. 1 albums also in a span of six months, as Beatles VI hit No. 1 on the July 10, 1965 chart, followed by the Help! soundtrack on Sept. 11 and then Rubber Soul on Jan. 8, 1966. (Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956, no other solo artist has accumulated three new No. 1s as fast as Future.)

With an 11th No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Future ties Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye (formerly Kanye West) for the fifth-most No. 1s on the Billboard 200, dating to March 1956. Ahead of them are The Beatles (a record 19 No. 1s), Jay-Z and Taylor Swift (each with 14) and Drake (13).

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart, Chappell Roan scores her best week yet in terms of units and album sales, as The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess returns to its peak of No. 2 in the wake of promotion surrounding its first anniversary. Plus, Katy Perry lands her sixth top 10 with the arrival of 143, and Lil Tecca nabs his fourth top 10-charting set with the debut of Plan A.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 5, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 1). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Mixtape Pluto’s first-week equivalent album units of 129,000, SEA units comprise 118,500 (equaling 156.62 million on-demand official streams of the 17 songs on the streaming edition of the album; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 10,000 and TEA units comprise 500. The album was available to purchase either as a standard 11-song album (via download, CD and vinyl) or as an expanded 17-song album (download).

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess rises 3-2 on the Billboard 200 for a third nonconsecutive week at its peak position. The set earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week (up 64%) — it’s biggest week yet by units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise a career weekly-best 56,000 (up 328%; it’s also the top-selling album of the week, reaching No. 1 on Top Album Sales for the first time). The week-over-week growth is owed to the release of four new vinyl variants and a cassette tape in celebration of the album’s first anniversary on Sept. 22. Of the album’s sales, vinyl comprises 50,000 — easily Roan’s best week on vinyl and the sixth-largest week for any vinyl album in 2024.

Sabrina Carpenter’s former No. 1 Short n’ Sweet slips 2-3 on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 equivalent album units earned (down 7%); Post Malone’s chart-topping F-1 Trillion is a non-mover at No. 4 (53,000; down 12%), and Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time is steady at No. 5 (53,000; up 2%).

Katy Perry lands her sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as her new studio album 143 debuts at No. 6. The set earned 48,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending Sept. 26. Of that sum, album sales comprise 37,500 (her best sales week since 2017), SEA units comprise 10,000 (equaling 13.11 million streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise 500. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including a signed edition), four CD variants (including a signed edition), a cassette tape and multiple digital download variants (including two exclusive to her webstore, each with bonus tracks).

The album was preceded by a trio of songs, including its first single, “Woman’s World,’ which reached the top 30 on the Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary radio charts.

Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Tortured Poets Department falls 6-7 on the latest Billboard 200 (47,000 equivalent album units; down 9%), while Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft is steady at No. 8 (45,000; up 2%).

Lil Tecca captures his fourth top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 as Plan A arrives at No. 9 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned — his biggest week by units since 2019. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 28,500 (equaling 40.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 13,500 (his best sales week ever) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s sales were aided by its availability in two CD variants (including a signed edition) and multiple digital download variants (including three exclusive to the artist’s webstore, two of which included bonus tracks).

The album was preceded by a pair of charting songs on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: “Number 2” (peaking at No. 45) and “Bad Time” (No. 25).

Closing out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 is Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, falling 9-10 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1%).

Nike is ready to re-enter the 36 Chambers. More than two decades after first releasing the Wu-Tang “Killa Bees” Nike Dunk high-top sneakers, Wu-Tang fans are buzzing about a new collaboration between the sneaker giant and hip-hop group.

According to Footwear News, the Nike x Wu-Tang Dunks dropped in limited supply on the SNKR app at midnight (ET) on Saturday. The collab sold out, but Nike will reportedly re-release the shoe in October.

Wu-Tang fans have been waiting months for the release. Over the summer, Nike shared what looks like a sneak peek of the Wu-Tang Clan collaboration, via the Nike Sportswear Instagram account.

The post, featuring black and yellow high-top Nike Dunks covered in bees, was shared on the Wu-Tang Clan’s social media accounts and has received over 1,000 comments and more than 70,000 likes.

The Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High was expected to arrive sometime this fall for the 25th anniversary of the shoe, Complex previously reported.

Nike released just 36 pairs of the original Wu-Tang “Killa Bees” Nike Dunk High back in 1999. The original Wu-Tang Clan high-top Dunks are available on eBay for a whopping $45,000 while the new Wu-Tang sneaker has already landed on resale sites for as much as $500.

In other Wu-Tang Clan news, the group resumed the Wu-Tang Clan The Saga Continues residency at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday.

Jelly Roll brought a pair of new tracks during his musical guest debut on the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live.

The 39-year-old country singer and rapper brought positive energy to Studio 8H on Sept. 28, performing new songs “Liar” and “Winning Streak,” both of which will appear on his upcoming album, Beautifully Broken, set for release on Oct. 11.

Jelly’s first performance featured an introduction from host Jean Smart, who brought out her Hacks co-star Hannah Einbender to assist. Donning a gray denim jacket with a black shirt and dark pants, the country star showed off his impressive vocals with “Liar,” a bold song about confronting addiction and the emptiness of materialism. He previously debuted the single at the ACM Awards in May.

For his second SNL performance, Jelly — whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord — lifted the audience with a powerfully delivery of “Winning Streak,” which he’s previously described as a track about attending an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting. Similar to his first performance, the artist surrounded himself with his band and singers on each side of him.

The next SNL on Oct. 5 will see comedian Nate Bargatze returning as host for a second straight season with Coldplay back as musical guest for an eighth time on the long-running show. The Chris Martin-fronted band first performed on the show in 2001, and their most recent appearance was in 2023.

Watch Jelly Roll’s SNL performances below. For those without cable, the broadcast streams on Peacock, which you can sign up for at the link here. Having a Peacock account also gives fans access to previous SNL episodes.

LISA got on the floor to premiere a song called “Moonlit Floor” at Global Citizen Festival 2024 in New York City’s Central Park on Saturday night (Sept. 28).

The BLACKPINK singer debuted her latest solo track ahead of its official release, set for Oct. 3, and clips from Global Citizen Fest’s livestream soon popped up on social media (as seen in the video below). As it turns out, “Moonlit Floor” is the song she’s been teasing on TikTok.

If you feel as though you’ve heard its heavenly hook somewhere before, let us name that song for you: Sixpence None the Richer‘s hit “Kiss Me,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998. The single was on the group’s self-titled album, released in 1997.

“Green-eyed, French boy got me trippin’/ How your skin is always soft/ How your kisses always hit/ How you know just where to/ Green-eyed, French boy got me trippin’/ On that accent off your lips/ How your tongue do all those tricks?/ How you know just where to,” LISA sings, leading into the “Kiss Me”-interpolated chorus: “Kiss me under the Paris twilight/ Kiss me out on the moonlit floor” replacing Sixpence None the Richer’s original lyric, “Kiss me beneath the milky twilight/ Lead me out on the moonlit floor.”

“Moonlit Floor” follows the K-pop star’s recent rollout of solo singles that’s included “Rockstar” in June and “New Woman” with Rosalía in August.

This year has Sixpence None the Richer reuniting for new music — their Rosemary Hill EP, featuring “We Are Love” and “Julia,” arrives on Oct. 4 — and a 25th anniversary tour. The live show kicks off on Oct. 10 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and runs through December in the U.S. See the band’s current tour dates on their official website.

Dionne Warwick‘s put decades of hard work into building her career in music. It’s no surprise she doesn’t put up with any nonsense.

The singer rated several popular songs in a segment with NPR titled “Nobody Asked for This (But I’m Gonna Tell You Anyhow),” which she shared on Twitter Friday (Sept. 27).

Giving each track a score between one and five Dionnes, Warwick weighed in on songs from Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter.

Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” — which Warwick pointed out has “almost an ABBA feeling” — got four-and-a-half Dionnes. “She’s got her own thing going on. That’s a wonderful thing,” she said of The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess breakout star.

Charli’s “Guess” got a respectable rating of four, and although Warwick was unfamiliar with Brat Summer, she decided she might be brat herself. “I possibly am,” she said.

Then the next track played, Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with Warwick showing some kind of exasperated expression.

“This is the look of ‘why’?” Warwick said in reaction to the Drake diss track, and probably their feud in general. “I don’t think that this should be a public thing.”

“So as far as I’m concerned, I’m not going to rate this one,” she added.

Next up, “Please, Please, Please” got another four-and-a-half out of five rating from Warwick — but Carpenter’s summer smash “Espresso” didn’t quite hit the spot. When asked if the lyric “I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer” resonates with her, she looked away and shook her head.

“That does not resonate with me,” Warwick, a veteran in the industry, quipped.

Make a mental note to plan for an early cutoff time if you’re booking an actual icon to sing in your presence at a late-night event.
