A$AP Rocky dropped his eagerly-awaited single “Tailor Swif” early Friday (Aug. 30) on streaming platforms.

The track, which first surfaced as a leak after Rocky’s live performance at Rolling Loud Portugal in July 2022, has sparked plenty of conversation, especially with its nod to Taylor Swift.

Rocky initially performed the song under the name “Wetty,” and after it leaked online, fans clamored for an official release.

Though the rapper was initially hesitant about including leaked tracks on his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb, he ultimately decided to give fans what they wanted. Rocky took to social media on Thursday (Aug. 29) to announce the release, cheekily writing, “SINCE U DUMMIES LEAKED IT ALREADY,” and sharing a snippet of the music video, which was shot in Ukraine.

While describing the project for his Billboard cover story, Rocky said he’s continuing his exploration of German expressionism.

“In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he said. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.”

The track’s title has drawn reactions from fans, particularly Swifties, who have mixed feelings about the playful reference to the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer. Despite the reception, the release of “Tailor Swif” has only heightened anticipation for Don’t Be Dumb, which Rocky has pushed back to the fall.

“Tailor Swif” follows Rocky’s August single “Highjack,” which debuted at No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.. With Don’t Be Dumb on the horizon, Rocky’s upcoming album is shaping up to be a major statement, both musically and visually.

Life is sweet for Sabrina Carpenter, as the U.S. pop star lands at No. 1 on Australia’s albums chart and completes a top-three sweep of the national singles tally.

Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (via Island/Universal) debuts at the summit of the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Aug. 30, for her first leader in the land Down Under.

Short n’ Sweet is her sixth album, and first to crack the top 10. Previously, her highest-charting LP was Emails I Can’t Send, which peaked at No. 27 in 2022.

With that hot start, Carpenter breaks a four-week unbroken stand at the summit by Australia acts (Lime Cordiale, Tones & I, Amy Shark and Cold Chisel).

Sabrina’s domination doesn’t end there. Her latest single, “Taste,” debuts at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart, ahead of “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” respectively, for a rare trifecta. All three tracks have now logged time at the chart summit.

According to ARIA, Carpenter is the first artist to swamp the top three since April 2024, when bestie and touring partner Taylor Swift did. On that occasion, TayTay owned the entire top 10 with tracks from The Tortured Poets Department, an historic feat.

Coming in at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart is Aussie indie act Teenage Dads’ Majordomo (Chugg/MGM), their second album, while Sydney pop punk outfit Stand Atlantic completes an all-new top three Was Here (Hopeless Records/RKT), new at No. 3. Both are career best chart positions.

Close behind is Irish alternative rock outfit Fontaines D.C. with their fourth album Romance (XL/Inertia), new at No. 6. That’s a serious uplift from the Dubliners’ 2020 effort A Hero’s Death, which peaked at No. 26, and Skinty Fa, which topped out at No. 24 in 2022.

Finally, Travis Scott lassos a top 10 spot Days Before Rodeo (Epic/Sony), new at No. 9. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Houston, TX rapper reissues his 2014 mixtape with additional material, across new formats, including streaming platforms. The original mixtape didn’t impact the ARIA Chart, though Scott has three ARIA top 10 albums to his name, including No. 1s for Astroworld (from 2018) and Utopia (2023).

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his mixtape Days Before Rodeo, Houston-born rapper Travis Scott has dropped a special edition titled Days Before Rodeo – Live from Atlanta: Chopped & Screwed – Vault 1 & 2.

The limited-edition release, available exclusively on shop.travisscott.com, features previously unheard snippets from the Days Before Rodeo era and a full live set from Scott’s recent anniversary performance in Atlanta. Alongside the music, vinyl bundles, exclusive merchandise, and other limited-edition items are also available.

Released in 2014, Days Before Rodeo was Scott’s second mixtape, setting the stage for his debut album Rodeo in 2015.

The mixtape featured standout tracks like “Mamacita,” featuring Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, and “Don’t Play,” featuring Big Sean and The 1975. The tracks, along with production from Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, and Travis Scott himself, introduced a moody, atmospheric style that has since become a hallmark of the trap genre.

The release comes following following Scott dropping the music video for “Drugs You Should Try It” more than a decade after its original 2014 release.

La Flame released the trippy “Drugs You Should Try It” visual on Aug. 18 after DBR came to streaming services on Aug. 23. The clip kicks off with an homage to Virgil Abloh, who designed the neon-lit smoking cowboy sign that makes an appearance. Scott starts free-falling into a pool of despair and allows his mind to drift into the depths of his conscious.

Scott’s chart success includes his sophomore album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, which topped the Billboard 200, and the Astroworld album, which spent three weeks at No. 1. His hit single “Sicko Mode” became a staple on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 1, while his collaborations with artists like Drake and Young Thug have secured multiple top 10 hits

Foster the People score their third top 10-charting set on Billboard’s Top Album Sales ranking as the act’s latest studio effort, Paradise State of Mind, debuts at No. 8.

The set sold nearly 7,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 22, according to Luminate. The new album was preceded by the top 20-charting Alternative Airplay hit “Lost In Space.”

Also new in the top 10 on Top Album Sales: Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion drives in at No. 1, Falling in Reverse scores its highest charting album and first top 10 with Popular Monster arriving at No. 2, KATSEYE’s debut project SIS (Soft Is Strong) bows at No. 6 and virtual YouTuber Mori Calliope visits the top 10 for the first time with Phantomime debuting at No. 9.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

Of the 7,000 copies sold by Paradise State of Mind in its first week, physical album sales comprise 6,000 (about 3,000 each for CD and vinyl) and download album sales comprise 1,000. The set was supported by its availability across six vinyl editions.

Post Malone’s first country album F-1 Trillion starts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 80,000 sold in its first week – the second-largest sales week for a country album in 2023. (Only Beyoncé’s own debut country set, Cowboy Carter, roped a bigger week, when it arrived with 168,000 earlier this year.)

F-1 Trillion’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across four vinyl editions (a standard black vinyl and three color variants; which combined to sell 25,000 – Post Malone’s best week on vinyl), a cassette and a CD, in addition to explicit and clean digital download albums for the standard 18-song version and the 27-song “Long Bed” version.

Rock band Falling In Reverse debuts at No. 2 with Popular Monster, scoring the rock act its highest-charting effort and first top 10. The album sold nearly 18,000 copies in its first week – the act’s best sales week since 2015’s Just Like You debuted with 24,000 sold. The new set’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across eight vinyl variants, a signed CD, and a deluxe CD boxed set containing a branded T-shirt.

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a non-mover at No. 3 with 15,000 sold (up 5%), Stray Kids’ chart-topping ATE falls 2-4 with 14,000 (down 25%) and ENHYPEN’s former leader Romance: Untold dips 4-5 with 10,000 (down 3%).

SIS (Soft Is Strong), the debut project from girl group KATSEYE, arrives at No. 6 with 8,000 sold. The act was formed on the 2023 YouTube series The Debut: Dream Academy. SIS’ first-week sales were bolstered by eight collectible CD variants and two vinyl albums.

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft falls 5-7 with nearly 8,000 sold (down 18%).

Mori Calliope, a virtual YouTuber with more than 2 million subscribers on that platform, debuts at No. 9 with Phantomime, selling 6,000 copies. It’s the artist’s first top 10 on the tally, and the set was supported by its availability across five collectible CD variants.

Falling from No. 1 to No. 10 is Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department with nearly 6,000 sold (down 79%).

Chappell Roan is just as much of a Sabrina Carpenter fan as everyone else!

On a recent livestream, the “Red Wine Supernova” singer shared her favorite songs off of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet album, including “Taste” and “Juno.”

”I love her,” Roan said of Carpenter. “I just love her whole — her whole project is just so thought out and so genuine. I just really love it. She does an awesome job.”

Carpenter previously showed love for Roan by covering her hit, “Good Luck, Babe!,” for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge in June. She also spoke about her friendship with Island Records labelmate with Rolling Stone, saying that Roan’s songs are on a “loopty loop” and that the two are friends off stage. “I’ve been just as obsessed with her as everyone has,” she said. “It’s so weird when you’re hanging out as two young women as opposed to thinking about when she goes onstage and is that person and when I go on stage.”

Both pop singers have had an exciting year. Carpenter earned a pair of chart-toppers on the Billboard Global 200 earlier in the summer, as “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” hit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Both songs appear on her freshly released sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, the two tracks occupy Nos. 2 and 3, with Roan’s “Good Luck Babe” rising to No. 21, followed by “Red Wine Supernova” and “Hot to Go!” at Nos. 67 & 68, respectively. Roan’s debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess also earned its highest-charting week on the Billboard 200, climbing into the chart’s top 10 nine months after its original release.
