It’s pretty rare to see the Billboard 200 results delayed, but that’s exactly what happened this week, with Carpenter and Scott going neck to neck until the last minute. Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet eventually debuted at No. 1 with 362,000 equivalent album units, just 1,000 units ahead of Scott’s Days Before Rodeo with a little over 361,000 equivalent album units.

Carpenter managed to score the third-largest week for an album in 2024, behind Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. Short n’ Sweet is her first album to hit No. 1 in the U.S., in addition to topping the charts in the UK, Australia, and beyond.

Carpenter also hit No. 2, 3, and 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with “Taste”, “Espresso”, and “Please Please Please”, joining The Beatles as the only artist to chart her first three top five hits simultaneously. She previously made history as the first female artist to simultaneously score the No. 1 album and single in the UK, where “Taste” hit the top spot this week.

Following its long-awaited release on July 28, Utopia soared to No. 1 with 496,000 album-equivalent units earned. This is the second-biggest streaming week for an album this year with 330.68 million on-demand official streams, equaling 243,000 in SEA units.

Its album sales were just as impressive, with Utopia scoring the year’s second-largest week in album sales with 252,000 copies sold. It also became the best-selling R&B/hip-hop vinyl album since Luminate started tracking sales in 1991, with vinyl sales making up 79,000 of the total sales.

To make the whole thing even more impressive, 19 tracks from Utopia charted on the Billboard Hot 100, bringing Scott’s career total from 93 to 111 songs. He’s only the 15th artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 with 100-plus career entries on the summit. “K-Pop” ft. Bad Bunny and The Weeknd debuted at No. 7 ahead of the album’s release, while “Meltdown” ft. Drake and “FE!N,” ft. Playboi Carti both reached the top five.

With two months to go until Atlanta plays host to the tournament’s half-time show, Travis Scott is reportedly in talks to perform.

According to The Associated Press, the rapper is close to signing a deal which will see him on stage on the 3rd of February.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is renowned for drawing big names, including Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, The Rolling Stones, Prince, and Madonna.

It was reported earlier this year that Maroon 5 would be headlining Super Bowl 53, but their team has yet to confirm the news.

What has been confirmed, according to AP, is that Scott will be the headline act at Pepsi’s pre-Super Bowl concert on February 1st in Atlanta, two days before the big show.

Talk about love galore!
