Tyler, The Creator Dropping New Album on Monday: Everything We Know
During his concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Friday (July 18), the 34-year-old rapper and producer shouted to the crowd what appears to be the title of his ninth album, Don't Tap the Glass, according to Variety. Outside the venue, fans spotted an art installation featuring a muscular figure enclosed in a clear box — seemingly a nod to the upcoming album's cover art.

In the days leading up to the show, Tyler hinted at a surprise set for July 21 by posting cryptic images on his Instagram, including a Louis Vuitton bag, a mannequin's head and a trumpet player in a band uniform. On Saturday (July 19) morning, he dropped a link to donttaptheglass.com, a website promoting the new album and featuring vinyl, T-shirts and hats branded with the album title.
The website also displayed three color-coded boxes with cryptic messages: a blue box reading, 'Body movement. No sitting still'; a yellow one stating, 'Only speak in glory. Leave your baggage at home'; and a red box that read, 'Don't tap the glass.'
Billboard has reached out to Tyler, The Creator's representatives for more details about the upcoming release.
In late June, Tyler and Doechii previewed their Pharrell-produced track 'Get Right' during the Louis Vuitton SS26 show in Paris. The song marks their second collaboration, following 'Balloon' from Tyler's 2024 Billboard 200-topping album Chromakopia. It remains unclear whether 'Get Right' will be included on his new album.
Don't Tap the Glass follows last year's Chromakopia, which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The 14-track album featured guest appearances from Doechii, Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, and others. Tyler is currently touring North America in support of the album and will soon head to Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.

Deftones Hit No. 1 For The First Time
Deftones debut at No. 1 on two Billboard charts with 'My Mind Is a Mountain,' the lead single from ... More upcoming album Private Music, due August 22. CONCORD, CA - JULY 06: Vocalist Chino Moreno of Deftones performs at Concord Pavilion on July 6, 2017 in Concord, California. (Photo by Miikka Skaffari/FilmMagic) In a little less than a month, Deftones will release a new album titled Private Music. The hard rock group's tenth full-length is scheduled to arrive on August 22. The first single from the set, "My Mind Is a Mountain," clearly has fans excited for the next chapter, which is one they've been awaiting for years. The track debuts across more than a dozen Billboard charts in the United States this week, and as it drops, the cut even helps the band reach impressive new peaks, three decades into its tenure. "My Mind Is a Mountain" Tops Two Billboard Rankings "My Mind Is a Mountain" opens at No. 1 on two of the 13 Billboard tallies it appears on this week, as the single launches in first place on both the Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Streaming Songs charts. Deftones earns a debut winner on those two rankings, hitting the summit for the first time. The band also cracks the top 10 on the list of the bestselling hard rock cuts throughout the U.S., as well as both the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts as well. Deftones' History With Billboard's Hard Rock Charts While "My Mind Is a Mountain" is the group's initial top 10 entry on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, Deftones have previously landed inside the upper tier on the all-consumption Hot Hard Rock Songs list. The band narrowly missed a first-place arrival in 2020 when 'Ohms' launched and peaked at No. 2. The hard rock legends also climbed into the upper reaches of Billboard's ranking of the most consumed hard rock tunes throughout the country with 'Genesis' (No. 3), 'Ceremony' (No. 9), and 'Urantia' (No. 10), all of which reached the list in 2020. More Chart Firsts for Deftones On the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies, the band's new single debuts at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively. The band breaks into the loftiest space for the first time on both charts as this latest era begins. "My Mind Is a Mountain" scores the group its first appearance on the Rock Streaming Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs lists at the same time.

Madonna Charts A Brand New Top 10 Hit In America
Madonna scores a new top 10 with 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' before Veronica ... More Electronica arrives, landing at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales list. American singer Madonna on the set of her 'Ray of Light' video, September 12, 1998. (Photo by) On July 25, Madonna released her new remix album Veronica Electronica. The project features reworkings of many tunes from the pop superstar's beloved full-length Ray of Light, as well as one 'brand new' track. Officially titled 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version),' that cut was recorded around the same time as Ray of Light but never officially released to the public. Many Madonna followers are already familiar with it thanks to leaks that have circulated over the years, but recently, the singer finally dropped the highly-anticipated cut. Now, 'Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)' gives Madonna another top 10 hit in America, just before Veronica Electronica has a chance to chart. Madonna's New Top 10 Smash 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' debuts at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The track marks Madonna's ninth top 10 on Billboard's list of the bestselling dance cuts in the United States. Despite being one of the most successful dance musicians of all time, the icon has only reached the tally 22 times. The list was, of course, established long after many of Madonna's pioneering dance smashes had already impacted other charts in America, which explains her relatively low count. Madonna's Winning Streak Continues It's only been a year since Madonna last scored a new top 10 on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking. In July 2024, 'Who's That Girl?' — another decades-old cut — opened at No. 9 before disappearing the following frame. The year prior, Madonna earned her first No. 1 alongside Sam Smith with 'Vulgar,' which debuted in the top spot. That same frame, 'Me Against the Music,' her collaboration with Britney Spears, broke into the top 10 for the first time. Madonna Joins Nine Inch Nails and Blackpink Madonna claims one of three debuts on the 15-spot Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, and hers is the second-highest arrival. Nine Inch Nails starts 'As Alive As You Need Me to Be' at No. 10. Both legendary acts are beaten by 'Jump,' the latest single from Blackpink. That track debuts at No. 1, giving the K-pop girl group the comeback so many fans had been hoping for.
