Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping album’s victory feels vicious to Travis Scott’s label.
The Espresso songstress’ newly-released album Short N’ Sweet earned number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart this week, surpassing Scott’s mixtape Days Before Rodeo.
As reported by Vulture, the rapper’s label has disputed the results.
The outletobtained a letter where the rapper’s label, Cactus Jack Records reached out to Billboard and Luminate and expressed their disagreement with the results this week, claiming that the charts were “unreliable and incomplete.”
The SICKO MODE singer's label claimed that a portion of sales were not included in Days Before Rodeo’s final number, which could have pushed Scott to number one.
According to the report, the writer of the unsigned letter claimed they were “not reaching out as management for an upset artist.” Instead, the note was on behalf of Cactus Jack Records and Scott’s Cactus Jack store.
A representative for Luminate confirmed to Vulture that the company had received a letter from a label disputing the Billboard 200 results.
However, the company stood by its data.
“We are confident that our numbers are correct in accordance with our processes and methodology,” the spokesperson said on Friday, September 6th.
Both the musicians, Scott and Carpenter have not yet commented on the matter.
This Tuesday, September 3rd, Billboard announced that Carpenter, achieved her first number one album on the Billboard 200 chart after Short n’ Sweet earned 362,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending August 29, according to Luminate.
