‘JACKBOYS 2' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
The JACKBOYS 2 project from Travis Scott and his JACKBOYS collective debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated July 26), earning 232,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending July 17, according to Luminate. The set was announced in March and is the follow-up to the first JACKBOYS set, which debuted at No. 1 on the Jan. 11, 2020-dated chart. A release date wasn't shared for the new album until July 10, when Scott announced the set would drop on July 13. (Thus, JACKBOYS 2 debuts on the Billboard 200 with five days of activity in its first week on the chart. Most albums are released on Friday of each week; Luminate's tracking week for the chart runs Friday through Sunday.)

Plus, a former No. 2-peaking album reenters the chart in the top 10. Justin Bieber's surprise album SWAG starts at No. 2 (with Bieber's biggest streaming week ever, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums); Clipse's first album in nearly 16 years, Let God Sort Em Out, debuts at No. 4; TWICE's THIS IS FOR launches at No. 6; ATEEZ's GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 (which debuted and peaked at No. 2 in June) re-enters the chart at No. 7 following its deluxe reissue; and GIVĒON's BELOVED starts at No. 8. The last time the top 10 housed at least five debuts was on the July 17, 2023-dated chart, when six albums premiered in the region. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new July 26, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on July 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of JACKBOYS 2's 232,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 17, album sales comprise 160,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 72,000 (equaling 94.86 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. JACKBOYS 2 was released on July 13 as a seven-song album (as a digital download that was widely available, on five vinyl variants exclusively sold by the JACKBOYS' webstore) and as an expanded 17-song album (available via streaming services, digital download stores and on a JACKBOYS' store-exclusive CD across five variants). The JACKBOYS webstore also offered nine deluxe boxed sets containing branded clothing and a copy of a CD, as well as four webstore-exclusive download album variants (three contained one bonus track each, while one had alternative cover art). On July 17, the final day of the tracking week, a 20-song edition of the album became available to digital retailers and streamers — it contained all the songs on the 17-song edition, along with the three bonus tracks that had previously been only available on the webstore-exclusive download albums. With 232,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, the JACKBOYS 2 project collects the second-largest debut week for a rap album in 2025 (trailing only the opening frame of Playboi Carti's MUSIC, with 298,000, in March). Plus, with 160,000 albums sold, JACKBOYS 2 logs the largest sales week for a rap album since Scott's Days Before Rodeo rode in with 331,000 on the Sept. 7, 2024-dated chart. Justin Bieber's surprise album SWAG starts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, earning 163,000 equivalent album units in its first week. The album was first teased on July 10, one day before it was released. The 21-track set is the 11th top 10-charted effort for Bieber. Of SWAG's opening-week units sum, SEA units comprise 155,000 equivalent album units (equaling 198.77 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — that's Bieber's best streaming week ever, and the album debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 6,000 (it debuts at No. 14 on Top Album Sales, it was only available in one standard widely available download album; physical versions aren't expected until December) and TEA units comprise 1,000. After spending its first eight weeks on the Billboard 200 at No. 1, Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem falls to No. 3 with 147,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%). Clipse's first album in nearly 16 years, Let God Sort Em Out, opens at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 118,000 equivalent album units earned, marking the second top 10-charted effort for the brother duo (Pusha T and Malice). The set matches the peak of the pair's debut project, and only other top 10, 2002's Lord Willin', which debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the Sept. 7, 2002-dated chart. Let God Sort Em Out is Clipse's first album since the July 2009 release Til the Casket Drops. The set was preceded by the top 40 hit 'Ace Trumpets' on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Of the new album's 118,000 units earned, SEA units comprise 59,000 (equaling 77.49 million on-demand official streams of the set's tracks — it's Clipse's biggest streaming week, and he project debuts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 58,000 (it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000. The new album was issued on July 11 in a widely-available 12-track standard CD and vinyl LP, and as digital download and streaming set with one bonus track. The set's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across four vinyl variants (including a signed edition), three CD variants (including one signed), two cassette tapes, and more than a dozen deluxe boxed sets exclusive to Clipse's webstore (each containing a piece of branded clothing on a copy of the CD album). In its fourth week, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is pushed down 2-5 on the latest Billboard 200, though it has the largest week-over-week unit gain on the chart. It increases by 10,000 equivalent album units (a 14% jump) to 85,000 in the latest tracking week. KPop Demon Hunters is the only soundtrack to debut in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and then see unit increases in its second, third and fourth weeks since the chart began ranking titles by equivalent album units in December 2014. Of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack's 85,000 units earned in its fourth week, SEA units comprise 79,000 (up 14%, equaling 109.53 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it's pushed down 2-3 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 5,000 (up 13% — though it's down 9-17 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 10%). KPop Demon Hunters' streaming sum of 109.53 million clicks is the biggest for a soundtrack since Encanto was in its seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (March 5, 2022; with 114.67 million). KPop Demon Hunters premiered on June 20 in a limited theatrical release in the U.S., and on Netflix, alongside its soundtrack. In the tracking week ending July 13, the animated film held at No. 2 in its fourth week on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in United States chart. TWICE (who also feature on the KPop Demon Hunters album) claims its seventh top 10-charted effort as THIS IS FOR launches at No. 6 with 80,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 68,000 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 12,000 (equaling 16.21 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Released on July 11, THIS IS FOR was available as a standard widely available digital download and streaming album, across 15 CD and three vinyl variants (all containing collectible ephemera, some randomized). On July 14, a widely available deluxe edition of the album with two bonus tracks was released via digital stores and streamers. ATEEZ's GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the June 28-dated chart, reenters the chart at No. 7 following its deluxe reissue on July 11. The album — with all versions, old and new, combined — earned 79,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week, a gain of 1,489%. Of that sum, album sales comprise 70,000 (up 1,750% — it jumps 12-2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 8,000 (up 595% — with that unit figure equaling 11.21 million on-demand official streams of the album's tracks) and TEA units comprise nearly 1,000. The deluxe set, dubbed GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition,' includes 10 bonus tracks and was issued across six CD variants (all with collectible ephemera, some randomized, inside its packaging). All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes. GIVĒON's BELOVED bows at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking the second top 10-charted set for the artist. It begins with 44,000 equivalent album units earned (his best week ever by units), of which SEA units comprise 36,000 (equaling 47.78 million on-demand official streams of the set's tracks — it debuts at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 8,000 (his best sales week ever, it debuts at No. 10 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The new album was preceded by a pair of top 30 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart: 'Twenties' (No. 19 in February) and 'Rather Be' (No. 30 in May). BELOVED was available as a standard widely available download and streaming set, as well as across five vinyl variants (including one signed) and two CD variants (one signed). Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart are two former No. 1s: Wallen's One Thing at a Time falls 3-9 (39,000 equivalent album units; down 1%) and SZA's SOS is pushed down 4-10 (though it gains by 3% to 37,000 units).

Travis Scott and Cactus Jack officially announce 'JACKBOYS 2' with exciting teaser
Travis Scott is officially in album mode, and fans are getting more than they expected—confirmation of JACKBOYS 2. The highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 collective album has now been teased with a striking announcement. Projected onto the side of a building, bold text flashed in a jittery pattern, reading: "JACKBOYS 2 is on the way." Accompanied by audio booming over the speakers with the phrase, "What the fck is we doing?"* the teaser has set the internet ablaze. Scott's JACKBOYS imprint, featuring Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo, dominated the charts with their self-titled compilation, becoming the first No. 1 album of the 2020s. Now, fans are eager to see how the group's sound has evolved over five years. This isn't the first time Scott has hinted at a sequel. During his 2024 performance at Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash, he gave credit to his labelmates, saying: "I'm nothing without Sheck Wes, I'm nothing without Don Toliver, I'm nothing without SoFaygo… We've been thinking about doing a 'JACKBOYS 2'." Don Toliver also fueled speculation earlier this year by reposting the original JACKBOYS trailer on Instagram, leading fans to believe an announcement was near. Months later, Scott has finally delivered. With his recent statement about pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, JACKBOYS 2 could mark another sonic evolution for the collective. Now, all eyes are on Scott and his team as fans anticipate the next chapter of JACKBOYS' reign.
