Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo mixtape departs Billboard 200 from no. 1.
One week after Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo mixtape reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, largely due to vinyl sales through his official website, the album has now made history by exiting the chart entirely. This marks the first time an album has dropped off the Billboard 200 from the No. 1 position. The 10-year-old mixtape became Travis Scott’s fourth No. 1 album, following Utopia, Astroworld, and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, with 156,000 total sales. Of those, 149,000 came from vinyl sales, marking Scott’s biggest week ever in vinyl sales. This abrupt departure also sets a new record for the biggest drop from the chart’s top spot.
