Justin Bieber’s surprise drop “SWAG” and Clipse’s long-awaited return make for one of 2025’s most competitive release weeks.

Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack crew are officially back on top. The highly anticipated JACKBOYS 2 compilation is set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with projected first-week activity surpassing 250,000 units. A staggering 188,000 units of that total comes from direct-to-consumer (D2C) merch bundles—an emphatic reminder of Scott’s branding and marketing prowess.

With this release, JACKBOYS 2 knocks Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem from its two-month perch at No. 1. It’s a defining moment for Scott and his Cactus Jack label, further proving their dominance not only in streaming but in the merchandise game as well.

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber’s surprise release SWAG is projected to land at No. 2, fueled by an astonishing 200 million first-week streams—the most of any album this week. While it won’t debut atop the chart, SWAG reasserts Bieber’s streaming strength in a competitive climate.

Legendary duo Clipse make a triumphant return with Let God Sort ’Em Out, which is expected to secure a Top 5 debut at 90,000 units, including a standout 40,000 in pure album sales. It’s a major moment for fans of lyrical rap and marks one of the most anticipated comebacks of the year.

Also joining the fray is Giv?on, whose introspective new project BELOVED is poised to land within the Top 10. It adds an emotional, R&B-driven touch to a stacked week in music, showcasing the genre’s ongoing evolution and mainstream appeal.
