It’s the showdown we once saw coming!—Travis Scott and Sabrina Carpenter are battling it out on the Billboard 200 charts again, and this fight isn’t over just yet. Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” may have claimed the top spot a few weeks ago, but Travis Scott’s “Days Before Rodeo” is back with a spicy vengeance. Read on to know the details!
Sabrina Carpenter’s strong run:
The singer’s “Short n’ Sweet” sixth studio album has been dominating since its debut, staying at No. 1 for three weeks straight with six-digit sales. Her album’s consistent sales are impressive, holding its own against heavy hitters like Taylor Swift. No expanded deluxe version, no fancy tricks—just a solid 12 tracks and three hit singles.

Travis Scott’s comeback strategy:
But hold up, Travis Scott isn’t done yet! His reissued mixtape “Days Before Rodeo” might have slipped down the charts, but the rapper’s latest move could change the game. With vinyl versions of his album now shipping out, the rapper’s fans are ready to splurge. Vinyl sales have been a key factor in the past, and this could be Scott’s ticket back to the top.
