Atlanta rapper Future and Iggy Azalea's new solo albums should have no problems landing on the sales chart next week with estimates up to 55,000 copies.
Based on one-day estimates, Future and Iggy may battle it out on the Top 10.
YOUR NEW RELEASES: Disney’s wintry wonder Frozen continues to dominate in spring; on the heels of its best week yet, the animated blockbuster’s soundtrack will spend another week at #1, its twelfth. So what else is new? We’ll tell you what. Here are this week’s key debuts: Iggy Azalea (Grand Hustle/Def Jam) 50-55k Future (Epic) 45-50k Neon Trees (Island) 17-19k (HITS Daily Double)
This week, Future revealed unused Honest tracks would likely appear on his next LP.
During an interview with V-103 in Atlanta, Future revealed he had a number of songs recorded that didn’t fit the theme of Honest. He plans on taking those leftovers and adding them to a new project. “I’m saving it for another album. I want to drop two entire albums this year,” he says. “We working on the next one, and I’m going to be able to put the records that didn’t make Honest on that, if it fits.” (Complex)

Last fall, Iggy revealed the setback her LP suffered.
“The official date? F—ed if I know! It’s done, it’s so depressing to say this but it’s the beginning of March, it’s so far away but I just have to accept that,” she exhales, then takes a sharp intake of oxygen and launches into “It was supposed to be October but obviously I’m going on tour with Beyonce and they said I’m not allowed to put an album out while I’m on tour because I’ll be trapped in Australia and I won’t be able to do any TV appearances and I thought that’s fair enough, that’s three weeks and then they said ‘You can’t put an album out around Christmas time, that’s a bad time’ and I said ‘What about January?’ ‘Well [talking like a verbose record label type] nobody gets back off holidays and then it’s the Brit Awards, you can’t release an album, it’s terrible for marketing’ which brings me to February. The marketing team gets to control me unfortunately, I don’t get to control that.” (Herald Sun)
