Tyler, the Creator’s “Don’t Tap the Glass” Dominates Spotify U.S. Charts
UNITED STATES — Tyler, the Creator is once again proving his dominance in the streaming world. His surprise album drop, “Don’t Tap the Glass,” is making waves on both Spotify and Apple Music, with 9 of its 10 tracks charting in Spotify U.S.’s Top 10 as of Tuesday — just one day after the album’s release.
The only track keeping Tyler from a full sweep? “Golden” by KPop Demon Hunters, which held onto the #10 slot on Spotify’s U.S. Top 10. But Tyler’s grip on the rest of the list is unmatched — with standout track “Big Poe” (featuring Pharrell Williams and sampling Busta Rhymes’ Pass the Courvoisier Part II) debuting at #1.
A Streaming Storm: Spotify, Apple, Global Rankings
According to Hits Daily Double, Tyler’s ninth studio album has not only dominated U.S. rankings, but also made a major splash globally:
- 3 tracks in Spotify Global Top 10
- All 10 tracks in Spotify Global Top 30
- On Apple Music, Tyler holds the Top 4 spots and 8 of the Top 10
The album was announced live on stage Friday and dropped the following Monday — an unconventional rollout that played right into Tyler’s experimental brand and his fans’ appetite for spontaneity.
Track Highlights: Pharrell Collab Leads the Charge
Tyler’s ability to blend genre and style shines across “Don’t Tap the Glass.” The lead track “Big Poe” combines Pharrell’s signature funk with classic hip-hop grit. Other standouts include:
- “Sugar on My Tongue” — a sleek, synth-backed slow burner (#2 U.S.)
- “See You Swing” — a retro groove-heavy anthem with a surprise outro
- “Midnight Blunt” — a nod to Tyler’s Flower Boy era, elevated with lo-fi jazz samples
Other Movers on the Chart
While Tyler commands the spotlight, other artists are still making their mark. “Golden” by KPop Demon Hunters sits at #1 globally, and their soundtrack now includes four tracks in the Global Top 15. Meanwhile, Alex Warren and Justin Bieber have seen slight dips:
- Warren’s “Eternity” falls to #14 U.S.
- Bieber’s “DAISIES” holds at #3 Global but drops to #12 U.S.
