Tyler, the Creator released his seventh studio album, Chromakopia, on Monday (Oct. 28) via Columbia Records.

He released one single on DSPs ahead of the project, “Noid,” with a music video featuring Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning The Bear actress Ayo Edebiri.

Chromakopia arrives three years after his last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, which earned the rapper his second Billboard 200 No. 1 and second best rap album Grammy award. He released the deluxe edition, Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale last year, with additional songs featuring Vince Staples, A$AP Rocky and YG.

Following his Chromakopia listening party in Los Angeles on Sunday night (Oct. 27), he’ll take the album all around the globe with the Chromakopia: The World Tour. Along with special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, the trek will kick off on Feb. 4 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., and goes through major cities such as his hometown of L.A. (where he’ll host a three-night stint at Crypto.com Arena), Atlanta, Miami, Chicago and New York before wrapping up on July 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. He also has dates set in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for next year.

He’ll also be celebrating the 10th anniversary of his music festival and carnival Camp Flog Gnaw at Dodger Stadium from Nov. 16 to 17. Erykah Badu, André 3000, Playboi Carti, ScHoolboy Q, Doechii, Sexyy Red, Kaytranada, Raye and more are set to perform.

Matty Healy is no stranger to controversy, but when it comes to Taylor Swift, he’s playing his cards close to the chest.

In a recent appearance on the Doomscroll podcast, Healy shared insights into his approach to songwriting amid intense public scrutiny—remarks that many fans see as subtle nods to his rumored history with Swift.

Admitting he “used to write about relationships a lot more,” Healy explained, “Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons. The only reason that I was interested in is what I was doing.”

“I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about and they want to address that, and fair enough.”

Healy continued, “Honestly, I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don’t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons — or whatever it may be that I’ve kind of become known for just because I was famous.”

“That’s an obvious thing to draw from, and I’m just not interested in [it]. The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be, like, two years old… I see people doing that as well, and it’s not interesting,” he added.

Speculation about Healy and Swift first emerged in early 2023, following Swift’s high-profile split from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

Rumors of a brief romance between the 1975 frontman and Swift gained momentum when Healy was spotted attending several Eras Tour dates, including performances in Nashville and Philadelphia, where he even joined opener Phoebe Bridgers on stage. They were then photographed leaving New York’s Electric Lady Studios together in May, with Healy later seen near Swift’s apartment that same day.

Swift’s The Tortured Poet’s Department has been a treasure trove for fans eager to decode possible references to Healy.

Songs like “Guilty as Sin?” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” have fueled speculation that the 1975 frontman inspired parts of the album. The title track’s line, “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate,” struck a chord with fans, who pointed to Healy’s on-stage smoking habit and the 1975’s hit “Chocolate.” Another reference to a “tattooed golden retriever” has been interpreted as a poetic nod to Healy’s blend of charming unpredictability.

In April, Healy brushed off the rumors when asked by paparazzi about a supposed “diss track” aimed at him on Swift’s album. Healy responded: “My diss track? Oh! I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good.”

While both artists have since moved on—Swift is currently dating NFL star Travis Kelce, while Healy recently got engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtell—the fascination with their short-lived connection endures. Healy’s recent comments have only reignited speculation, with fans reading between the lines for clues about his feelings toward the pop superstar.

Meanwhile, Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department has been a powerhouse on the Billboard charts. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming Swift’s 14th No. 1 album—a milestone that ties her with Jay-Z for the second-most No. 1 albums ever, just behind The Beatles. In its first week, the album racked up 2.6 million equivalent album sales in the U.S., with 1.9 million in pure sales, marking her biggest sales week yet.

The success didn’t stop there. The album held onto the No. 1 spot for 15 weeks, a personal best for the singer-songwriter, and made her the first artist in the modern era to have seven albums that each sold over a million copies in their debut week.

Bad Bunny, who supports Kamala Harris, a source close to the artist tells Billboard, is getting the Democratic presidential candidate’s latest message for Puerto Rican voters out to his 45 million followers on Instagram.

“There’s so much at stake in this election for Puerto Rican voters and for Puerto Rico,” Harris says in a campaign video posted on Sunday (Oct. 27), which Benito shared clips of on Instagram Stories not just once, but four times. “And this election is not just a choice between Donald Trump and me. It is a choice between two very different visions for our nation. One, his, focused on the past and on himself, and the other ours, that is focused on the future and on you. Puerto Rico is home to some of the most talented, innovative and ambitious people in our nation, and Puerto Ricans deserve a president who sees and invests in that strength.”

In the video, Harris tells voters: “As president, I will bring down the cost of housing, invest in small businesses and entrepreneurs and fight to finally secure equal access to programs that strengthen the healthcare system and support children, seniors and working people. I will create a new Puerto Rico economy task force where the federal government will work with the private sector, with non-profits and community leaders to foster economic growth and create thousands of new, good-paying jobs in Puerto Rico, including for our young people.”

“I know that Puerto Rico’s economic future depends on urgently rebuilding and modernizing the island’s energy grid. That’s why I will cut red tape, ensure disaster recovery funds are used quickly and effectively, and work with leaders across the island to ensure all Puerto Ricans have access to reliable, affordable electricity. I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader. He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back, devastating hurricanes, and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults. Puerto Ricans deserve better,” Harris says.

Bad Bunny emphasized Harris’ “I will never forget what Donald Trump did” line in his reposts of the speech.

Harris’ message to Puerto Rican voters on Sunday arrived the same day Trump was set to appear at a rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, where Tony Hinchcliffe, a podcast host/roast comedian, spewed racist jokes in an opening slot. He referred to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” Later, he made a remark that Latinos “love making babies” in a lead up to a crude joke, which Vice President Harris’ campaign headquarters called a “vile racist tirade against Latinos” on X (formerly Twitter).

“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump campaign senior advisor Danielle Alvarez said in a statement sent to Billboard Sunday night.

Benito, who was born and raised in Vega Baja, has a history of being vocal about social-political issues affecting the Puerto Rican community.

In September he placed billboards across San Juan in protest of the Partido Nuevo Progresista (New Progressive Party), a major political party that holds the seat of governor and resident commissioner in Puerto Rico, soon after releasing the song “Una Velita.” The billboards displayed messages including “To vote for PNP is to vote for corruption,” “Who votes for PNP doesn’t love Puerto Rico” and “Voting for PNP is voting for LUMA” (the private energy company responsible for power distribution and transmission on the island). In an Instagram post showing the billboards, the star said, “Announcements paid by Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. A Puerto Rican who does love Puerto Rico.”

“Una Velita,” released on Sept. 19, has Bad Bunny reflecting on Puerto Rico’s response to the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017. “There were five thousand that they let die, and we will never forget that,” he chants on the track that addresses what happened in the wake of the Category 5 hurricane that devastated the island.

In 2022, he released a documentary-style video for Un Verano Sin Ti‘s “El Apagón.” With a runtime of almost 23 minutes, the short film takes aim at local government for its inaction in addressing blackouts, gentrification and other issues affecting Puerto Ricans.

Yeat lands his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as Lyfestyle debuts atop the list dated Nov. 2. The set earned 89,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 24, according to Luminate — his best week ever by units, largely driven by album sales. Lyfestyle is the fifth total and consecutive top 10-charting set for the rapper, who had gone as high as No. 2 in March with 2093.

Also in the new top 10 of the Billboard 200, SEVENTEEN snares its sixth top 10 effort, all earned consecutively, as SPILL THE FEELS debuts at No. 5. Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us surges 19-8 following a deluxe reissue with added songs, for its first week in the top 10 since it debuted at No. 2 in July.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Nov. 2, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 29). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Lyfestyle’s 89,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 60,000 (Yeat’s best sales week ever; it’s No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 29,000 (equaling 39.67 million on-demand official streams of the songs on the streaming edition of the album; it debuts at No. 17 on the Top Streaming Albums chart) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Lyfestyle’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across many variants, exclusively sold through the artist’s webstore. Lyfestyle’s opening-week sales actually exceed the cumulative sales of Yeat’s entire album catalog before this past week. Until Lyfestyle’s release, his catalog of albums had sold a combined 35,000 copies.

The new album, his fifth full-length studio effort, was issued as a widely-available 22-track digital download and streaming set, and in a CD and vinyl edition exclusively sold through his webstore. (It’s the first time Yeat has released an album on CD.) The CD was only available as part of deluxe boxed sets (exclusive to his webstore), and all CDs and vinyls were signed by the artist. There were six different deluxe CD boxed sets, each containing a T-shirt and a CD inside a branded box. There were also three webstore-exclusive CD variants, signed by the artist, and each contained two additional bonus tracks unique to the CD (one has “Style Lyfe” and “Back Thën,” the second has “5Brazy” and “Barbarian” and the third has “Graveyard” and “Gonë”)

In addition, Yeat’s webstore offered two exclusive digital download album variants — one with the bonus track “Project Lyfestyle” and one with four bonus tracks: “Project Lyfestyle,” “For Lyfe,” “Night Come” and “5Brazy Remix,” featuring Quavo.

All of the bonus tracks on the CD and download album variants were not available to purchase as stand-alone tracks through any retailer, nor available to stream through an official service.

In total, of Lyfestyle’s first-week sales of 60,000, digital downloads comprise 43,500; CD sales comprise 12,000 and vinyl sales comprise 4,500.

Yeat’s last album, 2093, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 earlier this year, was available in its first week across three digital download variants, but only one of them was exclusive to the artist’s webstore. 2093 sold 12,000 copies in its first week — all from downloads.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet climbs 4-2 on the Billboard 200 with 79,000 equivalent album units earned (down 7%). After debuting at No. 1, Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken falls to No. 3 with 68,000 (down 58%). Rod Wave’s Last Lap dips 2-4 in its second week with 67,000 units (down 47%).

SEVENTEEN collects its sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as SPILL THE FEELS debuts at No. 5 with 66,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 64,000 (it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,000 (equaling 2.61 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s sales were bolstered by its availability across 17 CD variants, each containing collectible branded paper ephemera (such as photocards, posters, lyric books and stickers, some randomized).

Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time rises 9-6 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), GloRilla’s Glorious falls 5-7 in its second week with nearly 50,000 (down 27%), and Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us surges 19-8 with 49,000 units (up 78%). The latter vaults up the chart, and back into the top 10 for the first time since its No. 2 debut in July, thanks to its Oct. 18 deluxe reissue on digital download and streaming services with seven additional tracks. Of the 49,000 units The Secret of Us earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise the bulk of the sum — a little over 45,000 (up 89%).

Rounding out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 are Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft (falling 7-9 with a little over 48,000 equivalent album units earned; down 4%) and BigXthaPlug’s Take Care (8-10 in its second week; with 48,000; up less than 1%).

Tyler, the Creator is teasing a new song ahead of his upcoming album.

On Saturday (Oct. 26), less than 48 hours before the arrival of his new album, Chromakopia, the 33-year-old rapper shared a music video for the song “Thought I Was Dead.”

The nearly two-minute black-and-white video, directed by Tyler, finds the Igor musician dressed in military attire as he dances and prances on the wing of an old war plane in the middle of an airfield.

Chromakopia will be released on Monday (Oct. 28) through Columbia Records. The set comes three years after his last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned a best rap album Grammy award.

Tyler released a single titled “Noid” on music streaming services ahead of Chromakopia. The accompanying music video features Ayo Edebiri, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress from The Bear.

The rapper is scheduled to host a Chromakopia listening party at Los Angeles’ Inuit Dome on Sunday (Oct. 27). “Los Angeles I’m playing my album in full for you at the Inuit Dome. I will not be performing, I will be standing in the middle of the venue lip syncing to the new sounds. This event costs $5,” he wrote earlier in the week on X (formerly Twitter).

And after previewing Chromakopia in L.A., Tyler plans on taking the album around the globe with the Chromakopia: The World Tour. Along with special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, the trek will launch Feb. 4 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., and wrap July 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

He also has dates set in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for next year.
