Tyler, The Creator scores his fourth No. 1, all earned consecutively, on the Billboard 200 albums chart as his latest album, DON’T TAP THE GLASS, debuts atop the tally (dated Aug. 2). The set launches with 197,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending July 24, according to Luminate.

After teasing a new project on social media, the artist announced the album on Friday, July 18, with a release date slated for an off-cycle Monday, July 21. In turn, the album arrives on the Billboard 200 with only four days of activity in its first tracking week toward the chart. Most albums are released on Friday of each week; Luminate’s tracking week for the chart runs Friday through Thursday. (It’s the second off-cycle release in a row to debut at No. 1, following the JACKBOYS 2 project a week ago, which dropped on a Sunday.)

More than half of DON’T TAP THE GLASS’ first-week activity is owed to album sales (it’s the top-selling album of the week with 128,000 sold). Those sales are largely from five physical offerings exclusively sold via the artist’s official webstore (a vinyl LP, CD and three deluxe boxed sets containing a piece of branded clothing and a copy of the CD). The five physical sets went up for sale in the webstore shortly after the album’s announcement. All physical versions of the album contained one bonus track as compared to the standard 10-song widely available digital download and streaming edition of the album.

Tyler, The Creator previously topped the chart with CHROMAKOPIA (2024), CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST (2021) and IGOR (2019). In total, GLASS is Tyler, The Creator’s eighth top 10-charted effort, the entirety of his charting titles on the Billboard 200.

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.

Of DON’T TAP THE GLASS’ 197,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 24, album sales comprise 128,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 69,000 (equaling 93.34 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.
