Travis Scott and his JACKBOYS collective return to the top of the charts. Their latest project, JACKBOYS 2, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated July 26, earning 232,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the week ending July 17, according to Luminate.
Announced in March and released on July 13 with little notice, the project follows the original JACKBOYS compilation, which also debuted at No. 1 back in January 2020. The surprise drop helped fuel massive first-week numbers, including 160,000 in pure album sales, making JACKBOYS 2 the top-selling album of the week.
The project also tallied 94.86 million official streams, securing a No. 4 debut on the Top Streaming Albums chart. With five new entries in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week, it marks the busiest top 10 in over two years.
JACKBOYS 2 not only claims the second-biggest debut for a rap album this year, trailing only Playboi Carti’s MUSIC, but it also logs the largest sales week for a rap album since Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo dropped in 2024.
The JACKBOYS are back in a major way.
