Travis Scott's label reportedly sent a letter to Billboard and Luminate

[Teletubby 128,614]

Vulture is reporting that representative from Cactus Jack Records, the label founded by Scott, sent a letter of complaint to Billboard and tabulation company Luminate, disputing the final chart.

The representative reportedly claimed that Billboard‘s methods were “unreliable and incomplete” and that they had missed “an extremely high volume of orders” from their counting that would have presumably increased ‘Days Before Rodeo”s chances of reaching Number One.

Cactus Jack representatives also reportedly claimed that a Luminate employee might have “a personal incentive” to want Carpenter to reach Number One, on account of his former employment at Island Records – Carpenter’s label. The letter insists that they were “not reaching out as management for an upset artist” but rather on behalf of the Cactus Jack label and store.

The letter also suggests Carpenter’s indie sales had been weighted more heavily than a normal album sale, even though Luminate stopped that practice at the beginning of 2024 to improve accuracy. 

A spokesperson for Luminate confirmed the company received a letter from a label disputing that week’s Billboard 200 and  responded saying that the company stands by the final chart: “We are confident that our numbers are correct in accordance with our processes and methodology.”

If it makes you feel better, it's technically not even a comeback. This is the physical rerelease of a decade-old mixtape. It's just the same murder-apologist straight men buying vinyls of music they already heard in 2014.

is it that deep? are you that insecure in your career? do you have no integrity as an artist to stand by your body of work, proud of what you've created regardless of whatever measures of success fall upon it?
