A<a href=\"http:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/14\/adeles-25-wins-us-album-sales-race-futures-evol-tops-billboard-200\/\">dele&#8217;s &#8220;25&#8221; actually sold more copies during the official tracking week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;EVOL&#8221; does, however, take #1 on the consumption-driven Billboard 200.<br \/>\n==========<\/p>\n<p>For the third time in seven months, a Future album claims victory in a weekly US album sales race.<\/p>\n<p>Following in the chart-topping footsteps of &#8220;DS2&#8221; and his Drake collaboration &#8220;What A Time To Be Alive,&#8221; Future&#8217;s &#8220;EVOL&#8221; claims #1 on this week&#8217;s album sales chart.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hits Daily Double, &#8220;EVOL&#8221; sold 108,403 US copies during the February 5-11 tracking week.  While the more authoritative Nielsen\/Billboard total will differ, the discrepancy will not be enough to alter the outcome:  &#8220;EVOL&#8221; will take #1 on Top Album Sales.<\/p>\n<p>Other top performers from a pure sales standpoint include Adele&#8217;s &#8220;25&#8221; (~91,870), Coldplay&#8217;s &#8220;A Head Full Of Dreams&#8221; (~89,819), Elton John&#8217;s &#8220;Wonderful Crazy Night&#8221; (~58,517), and &#8220;NOW 57&#8221; (~56,009).<\/p>\n<p>The Coldplay album rockets back into the Top 10 thanks to the band&#8217;s Super Bowl halftime show performance.  Like &#8220;EVOL,&#8221; the Elton John and NOW albums are new releases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; &#8220;EVOL&#8221; is also slated to top the Billboard 200, which ranks albums based on combined activity from pure sales, Track Equivalent Albums (track sales\/10) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (track streams\/1500).  Data on its BB200 performance should emerge by Sunday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047,206],"tags":[5199,5407,1756,1873,910,5789,2102,5788],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Future&#039;s &quot;EVOL&quot; Wins US Album Sales Race, Coldplay Soars Back Into Top 5<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: While the specific numbers often differ, the key positions on Hits Daily Double&#039;s album sales chart almost always match those of the Billboard\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/12\/futures-evol-wins-us-album-sales-race-coldplay-soars-back-into-top-5\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Future&#039;s &quot;EVOL&quot; Wins US Album Sales Race, Coldplay Soars Back Into Top 5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: While the specific numbers often differ, the key positions on Hits Daily Double&#039;s album sales chart almost always match those of the Billboard\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/12\/futures-evol-wins-us-album-sales-race-coldplay-soars-back-into-top-5\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-02-12T15:51:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-02-15T00:57:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Future-Evol.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"735\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/12\/futures-evol-wins-us-album-sales-race-coldplay-soars-back-into-top-5\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/12\/futures-evol-wins-us-album-sales-race-coldplay-soars-back-into-top-5\/\",\"name\":\"Future's \\\"EVOL\\\" Wins US Album Sales Race, Coldplay Soars Back Into Top 5\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-02-12T15:51:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-02-15T00:57:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: While the specific numbers often differ, the key positions on Hits Daily Double's album sales chart almost always match those of the Billboard\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/02\/12\/futures-evol-wins-us-album-sales-race-coldplay-soars-back-into-top-5\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
