While The Game and T.I. were outside rumbling with the po-po, Future was inside Los Angeles Supperclub celebrating the fact he can still be a presence on the charts. The hitmaker was nabbed by Supreme Team LA to host Supperclub Tuesdays just as his third studio album, Honest reached the #2 spot on the charts.

With the Frozen soundtrack still iced to top slot after the Grammy push, it should definitely be considered a win.

Via Billboard:

Disney’s soundtrack to “Frozen” continues to chill for a 12th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while new albums from Iggy Azalea and Future arrive in the top three.

Rapper Future sees his sophomore album, “Honest,” launch at No. 2 with 53,000 sold, marking his best sales week and highest-charting album yet. It surpasses the No. 8 debut and peak of his first set, “Pluto,” which bowed with a high of 41,000 in 2012. The biggest hit from “Honest” is “Move That Doh,” featuring Pharrell, Pusha T and Casino. It climbed 15-14 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart dated May 3.

Fewer than 1,000 copies behind Future is rapper Iggy Azalea’s debut full-length album, “The New Classic,” which starts at No. 3 with 52,000 sold.

“The New Classic” is supported by its current hit single, “Fancy,” featuring Charli XCX, which jumped 37-18 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 3. Azalea notched her first Billboard chart hit on July 20, when her song “Work” bowed on the Bubbling Under Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It would later peak at No. 35 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

“The New Classic” is the highest-charting rap album from a woman on the Billboard 200 since Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” debuted at No. 1 on the April 21, 2012 chart. Azalea also logs the highest bow for a female rapper’s first album since Dec. 11, 2010, when Minaj’s first set, “Pink Friday,” entered at No. 2. (“Pink Friday” later rose to No. 1 on the chart dated Feb. 19, 2011.)
