Tyler, the Creator Reacts to ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200

Tyler, the Creator is feeling very appreciative that his latest album, Don’t Tap the Glass, topped the Billboard 200 in its debut week.

“Thank you to everyone who decided to check this out. announcing this two days before and it hit number 1 in such a short time means alot. thank you. tell folks about it!” Tyler wrote on his Instagram Story Tuesday (July 29) while sharing his post when the album initially dropped.

Don’t Tap the Glass landed in the top spot of the all-genre albums tally dated Aug. 2 after launching with 197,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending July 24, according to Luminate. The rapper had announced on July 18 that the album would arrive on an off-cycle Monday, July 21.

The album’s arrival on the Billboard 200 comes after only four days of activity in its first tracking week. (Luminate’s tracking week for the chart runs from Friday through Thursday, hence why most albums are released on Fridays.) Don’t Tap the Glass is Tyler’s second off-cycle release to debut atop the Billboard 200, following his eighth studio album, Chromakopia, last November, and the second Billboard 200-topping off-cycle release in a row, following the Travis Scott-led Jackboys 2 album last week that was released on a Sunday.

He recently wrapped the North American leg of Chromakopia: The World Tour with two shows at New Jersey’s Prudential Center on July 27 and 28, featuring special guests Paris Texas and Lil Yachty. Tyler is slated to headline Lollapalooza and Outside Lands.
