Future’s “The WIZRD” Pacing For 10-12K US Sales, 120-130K Total US Units

Future’s album should take #1 on the Billboard 200.

Early projections have emerged for Future’s new “Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD.”

According to Hits Daily Double, the album is expected to sell 10-12K pure US copies this week. With units from track sales and streams included, it may generate 120-130K in US consumption.

Initial projections for streaming-driven albums can be rough, but if “The WIZRD” posts a consumption tally in that general ballpark, it would be a safe bet for #1 on the Billboard 200. No other album is expected to flirt with 100,000 units this week.

“The WIZRD” will not, however, win the pure US sales race. The new Cody Johnson and Maggie Rogers albums are both expected to post greater sales totals; several holdover albums may also shift more pure copies than the new Future release.
