Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ charts all 17 tracks on Hot 100
Travis Scott‘s Astroworld continues its early dominance by charting all 17 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The album’s slew of notable guest features – including The Weeknd, Pharrell, Quavo, and more – helped the LP make an immediate splash. The rapper also buoyed early sales numbers by including a digital copy of the album and pre-sale ticket access with every purchase of fresh Astroworld merch. It’s the rapper’s second No. 1 album, following 2016’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.
With the release, Scott joins a heavy-hitting list of simultaneous Billboard Hot 100 charting names. Drake, Justin Bieber, Post Malone and The Weeknd are the only other artists to have charted at least 17 songs on the Hot 100 at once. Both “Sicko Mode” and “Stargazing” both debuted in the top 10, at No. 4 and No. 8, respectively. Scott’s career total of 40 Billboard Hot 100 entries ties him to some legendary company, including Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, and Mary J. Blige.
Along with the album release and tour, Scott announced last week that he will headline his own Astroworld Festival at Houston’s NRG Park on Nov. 17. The full lineup is still a mystery, but presale codes are currently available on the fest’s site.
