JACKBOYS rule the charts.
The debut compilation from Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack creative collective takes top billing on this week’s Billboard 200. The seven-track pack opens with 154,000 equivalent album units in its first week, of which 79,000 were in album sales. A majority of sales were driven by merchandise/album bundles sold via JACKBOYS’ official webstore.
JACKBOYS, which features contributions from Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, and Chase B, is the only album to debut within the top 40 on the new Billboard 200 chart. The project also features a remix to Travis’ No. 1 single “Highest in the Room” with Rosalía and Lil Baby.
