After topping Billboard 200 with his 'DS2' a few months ago, Future earns his second No. 1 album on the chart with his and Drake's 'What a Time to Be Alive'.

AceShowbiz - It didn't take Future too long to return to the top spot of Billboard 200. After scoring his first No. 1 set back in July with his third studio album "DS2", the rapper recently ruled the chart again with his and Drake's joint mixtape, "What a Time to Be Alive".

The project was released just a day after it was officially announced in late September. It also became the second No. 1 effort for Drake who topped the list in February with his other surprise mixtape, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late".

With the arrival of "What a Time to Be Alive", both Drake and Future simultaneously became the first hip-hop acts to have two No. 1 albums in a calendar year since Jay-Z did so in 2004 with his and R. Kelly's "Unfinished Business", and a collaborative album with Linkin Park called "Collision Course".

With 375,000 equivalent album units collected in its first week, Future and Drake's tape posted the third-largest sales week of 2015 behind Drizzy's "IYRTITL" which remains the biggest-seller with 535,000 and fellow Canadian star The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness" (412,000).
