Review
Yo, Future's back with "Mixtape Pluto" and he ain't playin' around. This joint dropped in September '24 and straight up bodied the charts, snagging that number one spot on Billboard 200. We're talking 129,000 album-equivalent units, 156 million streams, and 10,000 pure sales. That's Future's eleventh time at the top, third time in six months. The man's on a hot streak that's smokin' the competition.
Southside and Wheezy are the main beat-slingers here, cookin' up what Southside calls a "whole new vibe." They've got ATL Jacob, FnZ, and London on da Track in the mix too, servin' up some fresh flavors for Future to feast on. Critics are eatin' it up - Robin Murray from Clash is all about tracks like "Surfing a Tsunami" and "Oath," while Elias Andrews is calling it the comeback 2010s heads have been thirstin' for. Even Tom Breihan's feeling Future's focus, even when the lyrics are more chill than a frozen margarita.
But here's the kicker - Future's flying solo on this one. No features, no problem. Eighteen tracks deep, including bangers like "Too Fast" and "South of France" (which got that Travis Scott remix treatment), and Future's holding it down all by his damn self. It's rare to see an album hit number one without a guest spot these days, but Future's proving he's got the juice to do it alone. "Mixtape Pluto" is Future evolving while still keeping that raw energy that put him on top. It's a reminder of why he's been running the game for so long, and why he ain't about to slow down anytime soon. - Livia
