Tyler, The Creator Tops The Billboard 200 With ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’

Tyler, The Creator has topped the Billboard 200 with Don’t Tap the Glass, his fourth successive album to do so.

The surprise, dance-influenced album debuted in the top spot, knocking off Travis Scott’s Jackboys 2 compilation project.

On a shortened release week as Don’t Tap the Glass dropped on a Monday, the album still managed to total 197,000 equivalent units sold.

Surprisingly for albums in 2025, this number was largely thanks to physical sales of the LP with Tyler making various bundles available through his website.

However, the final tally is below initial expectations for the album with midweek estimations predicting Don’t Tap the Glass would pull in 215,000 equivalent sales in its first week.

It is also a fairly steep decrease from Chromakopia, which Tyler released last year.

That widely acclaimed album debuted to 299,000 equivalent units for the biggest sales week of Tyler’s career with it also reaching number one on the Billboard 200.

Tyler has also called on fans to just try and enjoy the album rather than rushing to have an opinion.

Speaking on X, the “Yonkers” rapper said: “Yall gotta stop doing this. everyone tho. it hasnt been 10 hours, just let it be what it is. a fun short upbeat urgent braggadocious album to a diary post about abortion and hair and aging and whatever else i was crying about lol.”

Tyler added: “please just let it rock if you rock with it and if you dont then move the damn on lol.”

Clocking in at just 10 tracks and 28 minutes, it’s the shortest album of Tyler’s career and only features uncredited guest appearances from Pharrell Williams and Baby Keem.

Missing from the album was “Get Right” featuring Doechii, which was launched at Louis Vuitton’s Paris fashion show earlier this summer.

Despite not making Don’t Tap the Glass, Tyler has been effusive in his praise of the TDE rapper.

The Odd Future founder described his reaction to first coming across her music: “I came across Doechii on something that YouTube recommended. It was the ‘Catfish’ record or ‘Nissan Altima.’ I was like, ‘What is this? Damn, this girl pretty as hell.’ And I clicked it and I was blown away and I just kept going and kept going and kept going.”
