Travis Scott's 'Days Before Rodeo' Rises to No. 1 on Billboard 200

 

The set jumps 106-1 after its vinyl edition shipped to customers -- scoring the biggest week on vinyl in the modern era for a rap album.

 

Travis Scott's 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo reaches No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Sept. 28), vaulting 106-1 after its vinyl editions — exclusively sold by the artist's webstore — shipped to customers. The set earned 156,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Sept. 19 (up 1,295%), according to Luminate.

 

Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 150,000 (making it the top-selling album of the week; it's No. 1 on Top Album Sales). Vinyl sales comprise 149,000 of that sales figure — Scott's largest week on vinyl ever. It's also the biggest week on vinyl for a rap album, as well as the sixth-largest week on vinyl across all genres, since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

 

Days Before Rodeo marks Scott's fourth No. 1, all earned consecutively. He previously topped the list with Utopia (2023), Astroworld (2018) and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016).

 

Days Before Rodeo was initially a free release in 2014. On Aug. 23, it was commercially released for the first time and officially made its wide streaming debut. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 dated Sept. 7 with 361,000 units earned in the week ending Aug. 29, largely from the strength of album sales (331,000 — mostly from digital download album sales). The album then fell to No. 30 in its second week, and then to No. 106, before jumping to No. 1 in its fourth week of release.

 

The vinyl sales pushing Scott to No. 1 began generating pre-orders via his official webstore before the album was released on Aug. 23 via streamers, as a digital download and on CD. It was available in two vinyl variants (a standard edition and a deluxe edition in expanded packaging), as well as two boxed sets (one containing a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl), and in two Fan Pack offers (one with a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl).

 

A wide retail release beyond Scott's webstore for any physical formats of the album has not been announced.

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 28, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

billboard called paris fraud, and said no top 10 for you 

 

also ttpd less than 1% drop 

[fridayteenage]

96% from sales. very k-pop.

 

it is kinda surprising that his first week downloads were more than double this though.

[BrokenMachine]

Fraudulence won... again, which is no news for BB200 this whole year 

[fememeist]

At least Sabrina got the number one

Of the 156,000 equivalent album units earned by Days Before Rodeo in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 150,000 (up 4,608%), SEA units comprise 6,000 (down 25%, equaling 7.94 million on-demand official streams of the album's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum (down 30%).

The number is WAY TOO specific...

Is this really the chart run?  Thats like cheating on a test and bragging that you got an A. He was so pissed over Sabrina when her album is an organic #1. 

[itshyolee]

Fraudulence wins again. Not surprised!

yes the twelve week streaming albums #1 is exactly the same situation 

[CaptainMusic]

I'm so confused, is Travis selling that many vinyls due to bundles? 
 

I thought they were removed? 

[jdanton2]

Sabrina was higher than the HDD 101,000 prediction.

Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet slips to No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 (108,000 equivalent album units; down 8%) after spending its first three weeks atop the chart. It remains at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a fourth week.

Can't wait to see the drop off next week 

[Afterglow]

Paris probably slid to top 20. HDD is only predictions

 

That's still amazing for her! And a win for pure pop music again  I was hoping she'd snag another top 10, most everyone would've been pop forward in that case.

merch + physical bundles were reinstated last year, but billboard has to pre-approve them and the # of bundling options is limited. something like this would not be allowed:

 

because those would be digital bundles, which are not countable. 

I don't think that many artists have tried very hard to push bundles under these rules though.

Billboard allows 2 fan packs (merch+CD/vinyl) per album since last year and boxed sets were not banned

Interesting, Taylor could probably break Adele's record with this if she wanted to.  

 

And mess at the Chromatica bundles  

[Bacardo Royale]

 

[Gossip_Boy]

Wasn't Paris Hilton supposed to be top 10 with over 45k? Looks like they clocked her fraud.

[Green]

So Paris wasn't top 10 after all?  

 

Because HDD said she did 45k units and the Billboard #10 album did 38k units
