Travis Scott Team Questions ‘Integrity’ of U.S. Album Chart: Not ‘About Travis vs. Sabrina’
A letter from Travis Scott's team claims 1,291 units sold were not counted, which would've given his album the Number One spot over Sabrina Carpenter.
The letter detailed an alleged conversation with Tommy Stalknecht, CEO of Single, which runs Shopify, about an “extremely high volume of orders” following the release of a deluxe version at 11:20 p.m. before the sales cutoff of midnight. In screenshots, reviewed but not verified by Rolling Stone, Stalknecht claims that nearly 1,300 units were sold in the last 15 minutes of the hour, which would’ve landed Scott in the Number One slot. “Clearly logic would dictate Mr. Thomas has a personal incentive to encourage the artist signed to his previous employer while under his tenure to ‘win’ the race this week.”
