Travis Scott's Days Before Rodeo could end up being the most successful hip-hop album to debut on the Billboard 200 in 2024 as early projections for the rereleased project's first-week sales continue to increase. According to HipHopAllDay, Days Before Rodeo is expected to sell closer to 300,000 units in the seven days following its release. The project originally dropped back in 2014, but to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Scott added it to streaming services while releasing a deluxe version that features guest appearances from Young Thug three times, Quavo, Playboi Carti, and Mike Dean.
Depending on where exactly Days Before Rodeo's sales land, it could outrank the previous most successful hip-hop album, Eminem's The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The Detroit legend dropped that effort back on July 12 and moved 281,000 album-equivalent units in the first week.
