Travis Scott's ‘JackBoys 2' Tops Chart, Ends Justin Bieber's Six-Album Streak of No. 1 Debuts
JackBoys 2, considered a compilation album with his Cactus Jack label, marks Scott's sixth album to top the Billboard chart (that's four solo records as well as the original JackBoys compilation album). It opens with 232,000 units and was buoyed by strong traditional sales, selling 160,000 copies, Billboard reported.

Scott ends Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem's two-month streak atop the albums chart since that record debuted in May. (Luminate reported last week that I'm the Problem is the biggest album in the U.S. through the first half of 2025.)
The chart news marks the first time Bieber hasn't opened at No. 1 in his 15-year career, ending a six-album streak of No. 1 debuts that began with his first record, My World 2.0, back in 2010. Despite that streak ending, Swag had a more than respectable opening, debuting with 163,000 overall units on 198.77 million streams, per Billboard. Notably, Swag's debut was carried almost entirely by streams, with physical sales set to be included on a later chart after his physical units are shipped out.
Swag appears to have netted Bieber another hit with 'Daisies,' which topped both Apple Music and Spotify's daily U.S. charts this past week. It's a potential contender for a No. 1 debut on the Hot 100 chart, in close competition with Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' which has spent the past six weeks atop the chart. The New Hot 100 chart will release Monday.
Other than Bieber, Clipse earned 118,000 equivalent units with Let God Sort 'Em Out, debuting at No. 4 on this week's chart.

Hollywood Hunk Unrecognizable in Trailer for Next Project
Hollywood Hunk Unrecognizable in Trailer for Next Project originally appeared on Parade. Ryan Gosling has had women swooning over him over the years. He is best known by fans for his roles in movies such as Barbie and The Notebook. One of his upcoming projects, however, shows him in an entirely different light. The first sneak peek of Gosling's character in the film Project Hail Mary gave everybody a hint of what to expect, and fans are eager to see the film. On June 30, Extra shared the first official trailer for Project Hail Mary. The first seconds of the clip show Gosling in character with a bushy beard and long hair. Gosling's unkempt mustache and beard, and unwashed, long, stringy hair, are a big change from the actor's usual style. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film debuts in theaters on March 20, 2026. The film is an adaptation of the Andy Weir novel with the same name that was released in May 2021. The storyline revolves around Gosling's character, Ryland Grace. He is a middle school teacher who is challenged with the difficult task of saving the planet Earth. Grace ends up on a spaceship, confused over why he is there and lacking any recollection of his past. He tries to bow out of being tasked with the massive responsibility, but learns he doesn't have a choice in the matter. The first sneak peek at the film generated a big response. "Ryan Gosling in another sci-fi movie? I am there! I love that after decades of dramas and indies, he's finally doing more mainstream movies," one fan shared on YouTube. Another YouTube user wrote, "I love this book and dude Ryan Gosling is hitting that character perfectly in this preview!" Someone else added, "So surreal seeing this adapted. Incredible book, Gosling looks great in the role - Can not wait!" An additional comment read, "So glad they're sticking to the book! Gosling seems to be perfect for the role, and the storyline looks to be hitting the right marks. Amaze!"

Min Woo Lee Cooks Golf With Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner amid PGA Tour Break
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After a grueling major season, golf professionals are finally catching their breath. Days ago, five-time major winner, Rory McIlroy, was spotted partying on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, with a champagne in hand. Now, another PGA Tour winner has stolen the spotlight with a different kind of celebration. The newest Texas Children's Houston Open champion, Min Woo Lee, who is currently enjoying his PGA Tour break, was spotted at a star-studded party in West Hollywood, Calif., on Thursday. But what made it special was Lee's cooking (golf swing) snaps alongside Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber. PGA Tour winner Min Woo Lee joins Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner at the Swag X Skylrk party on June 26, 2025.

(Image Credits: @lilbieber/Instagram) Instagram The event, hosted by Spotify in collaboration with Bieber's newly launched fashion label Skylrk, doubled as a listening party for his surprise album Swag. The album, released on July 11, is Bieber's first studio drop in four years. Interestingly, the pictures shared by the 31-year-old pop singer on Saturday also captured Kendall Jenner dressed in all black, swinging a club barefoot. Lee, who's earned the nickname "Chef" for his flair both on and off the course, later commented on Justin's typing, "The Best." The PGA Tour pro's appearance at Bieber's party wasn't just a one-off. Lee and the pop star icon struck up a friendship earlier this year. It went viral after the Aussie golfer snagged his Houston Open title, where he held off Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland to clinch his first PGA Tour title with a final score of 20-under. The 'Sorry' singer FaceTimed Lee after the victory and posted a congratulatory message on Instagram. The 'Chef' later reposted it on his own Instagram story, captioning it, "J frickin B." In an interview with the PGA Australia, Lee also shared how both of them are fanboys of each other. "The thing is he (Justin Bieber) fanboys kind of over me, but obviously I'm fanboying over him," Lee told the Australian media four months ago. The 27-year-old also revealed how Bieber would share videos of his swing, and he would critique it. The recent snaps reveal how fast their relationship has grown from there.

Travis Scott Reaches A New Career Peak
Travis Scott reaches a career high point on Billboard's Top Streaming Albums chart, where Jackboys ... More 2, his new set with Jackboys, opens at No. 4. PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 27: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) Travis Scott walks the runway during the Vetements Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on September 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Travis Scott's new album, Jackboys 2 — which is credited to both Scott as a solo musician and his group Jackboys, which features several other rappers — debuts across in lofty positions on a number of Billboard charts this week. The full-length arrived with little warning during an exciting tracking period, as Scott and company competed against Swag, Justin Bieber's highly-anticipated new album, which also dropped with minimal notice. Jackboys 2 wins most races, and even on the rankings where it doesn't launch at No. 1, the set still manages to bring both the band and Scott to career highs. Travis Scott and Jackboys Hit a New High Jackboys 2 opens at No. 4 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, Billboard's ranking of the most successful collections on platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and others. That position is the lowest starting point for Jackboys 2 on any tally in America, and yet it's a special placement for both credited stars. No. 4 now stands as the highest that either Scott or Jackboys have reached on the Top Streaming Albums tally. Scott earns his third career placement and second top 10 with the collaborative project, which beats the No. 9 peak Utopia managed in March of last year. He also sent Days Before Rodeo to No. 11 for a single frame in early September 2020. For Jackboys, this project marks a debut appearance on the Top Streaming Albums list. Justin Bieber's Swag Wins One The Top Streaming Albums chart is one of just two Billboard lists where Bieber reigns. Swag opens in first place, earning Bieber his first champion, while it also conquers the Top R&B Albums tally. In most instances — such as on the Top Album Sales ranking and the Billboard 200 — Jackboys 2 comes out on top. The Biggest Album in America This Week Jackboys 2 is easily the biggest album in America this week, as it shifted 232,000 equivalent units between pure purchases and streaming activity. Of that sum, 160,000 are sales, according to Luminate, with much of the rest coming from tens of millions of plays on streaming platforms. The set manages to conquer the Billboard 200, Top Album Sales, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and Top Rap Albums charts upon its debut thanks to one of the most impressive openings of 2025.
