Travis Scott’s Astroworld lands on top of the Billboard 200 chart with 2018’s second-largest week for an album, earning him his second No. 1.
The set which was released Aug. 3 earned 537,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Aug. 9, according to Nielsen Music. Of that total, 270,000 were driven by traditional album sales — the biggest sales week of 2018.
ASTROWORLD is Travis’ second No. 1 album, following 2016’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight which accomplished the same feat.
Mac Miller’s new album Swimming debuts at No. 3 with 66,000 units (30,000 in traditional album sales), making it his fifth consecutive top five-charting project. Meanwhile, YG’s Stay Dangerous album moved 56,000 units opening week (11,000 in traditional album sales). The Compton rapper lands his third top 10 album following 2016’s Still Brazy (No. 6) and 2014’s My Krazy Life (No. 2).
