Why Did Travis Scott’s ‘Days Before Rodeo’ Plummet From No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to… Off the Albums Chart Entirely?

On last week’s Billboard 200 albums chart, Travis Scott’s recently re-released mixtape “Days Before Rodeo” made an impressive leap from No. 106 to the top spot. The project broke records along the way, becoming the biggest week in vinyl for a rap album since Luminate started tracking in 1991.

But a week later, “Days Before Rodeo” had what may be the biggest drop from No. 1 in Billboard 200 history, falling entirely off the tally nearly five weeks after it hit DSPs to honor the 10th anniversary of its initial release. (Billboard did not immediately respond to Variety‘s requests for confirmation.)

The explanation for the drop-off is relatively simple. Its massive surge last week can be credited to the pre-ordered vinyl editions finally shipping to customers, giving it a significant sales boost. It clocked 156,000 equivalent album units in the United States, with vinyl sold exclusively in Scott’s webstore accounting for 149,000 of its 150,000 traditional album sales. Without subsequent vinyl sales or even a streaming boost, the album’s equivalent units decreased significantly this week, prompting its plummet from the top.
