Travis Scott claims No. 1 single and album on Billboard charts

This week marks a monumental point in Travis Scott's career as the artist dominates the charts with the #1 single and album in the United States. Travis' 2x RIAA platinum-certified Sicko Mode has claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This is the first time Travis Scott has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart after peaking at #2 on the chart earlier this year upon the release of the single's video. Additionally, Travis' album ‘Astroworld’ has claimed the #1 spot again on the Billboard 200 chart this week, marking the album's third time to achieve #1 in 2018 after occupying the top spot for two weeks upon its release on August 3rd, 2018. The combined feat of having a #1 single and album is fitting considering the banner year that Travis Scott has seen.

The achievements come on the heels of a whirlwind week that saw Scott release the Nabil-directed video for new ‘Astroworld’ single Yosemite featuring Gunna, share the official remix for Sicko Mode by Skrillex and perform two star-studded, sold out shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden in the midst of his current "ASTROWORLD: WISH YOU WERE HERE"tour. 

Additionally, ‘Astroworld’ being #1 this week means the album has retained a spot in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 chart for the 17th week in a row. Upon its release, the album earned the "second highest debut of the year," and raised the bar by achieving the "biggest ever first-week streaming total for Sony Music" with 349.43 million streams worldwide. This notably marked the highest pure sales week of the year as well.
