Travis Scott’s new album Utopia was a long time coming, and it lived up to the hype. The rapper’s long-awaited fourth studio album easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and made the Hot 100 history after all of its 19 tracks made it to this chart.
After the five-year-long wait, Utopia hit the shelves on July 28 and it didn’t take it long to soar to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. It debuted at No. 1 with 496,000 album-equivalent units earned, including 243,000 in SEA units after scoring the second-biggest streaming week for an album in 2023 with 330.68 million on-demand official streams.
Utopia’s album sales were just as impressive, and it scored the year’s second-largest week in album sales with 252,000 copies sold. Vinyl sales comprise 79,000 of the total sales, making Utopia the best-selling R&B/hip-hop vinyl album since Luminate started tracking sales in 1991.
All 19 tracks from Utopia charted on the Billboard Hot 100, helping Scott make history along the way. He brought his total of Hot 100 hits from 93 to 111, becoming just the 15th artist in history with 100-plus career entries on the chart. “K-Pop” ft. Bad Bunny and The Weeknd hit No. 7 after being released as the album’s first single, while “Meltdown” ft. Drake and “FE!N,” ft. Playboi Carti made it to the top five this week.
