Yeat won his first Billboard 200 No. 1 album with 'LYFESTYLE.' Here's how he did it, according to Field Trip Recordings founder/CEO Zack Bia.
This week, one of hip-hop’s rising stars hit a new milestone in his career: With the release of his latest album,landed his first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 89,000 equivalent album units, following up on the No. 2 debut of his last album,It’s a big achievement for Yeat, who has seen his career steadily project upward, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with each of the five albums he’s released since he began working with Field Trip Recordings in 2022.
The goal is always to elevate with every album. Learn from previous rollouts and apply and adjust to the next one. He’s so prolific and puts out music at such a high velocity it’s just about continuing to go bigger with every release but in a way that stays true to the core audience. Our goal has always been to just add to the burning core fan base and with every release this group just gets bigger and stronger.
This project I think comes at a time where after a meteoric rise he finally decided to lean back into the “lifestyle.” Reaping the rewards of his hard work, and I think the fun he’s having translates into the music. This project is braggadocious and polished and sets him apart and into a next category after reaching No. 1.
I think the demand was always there, we just didn’t always cater to it. We are so precious with the music oftentimes we didn’t even have the time to make physical product on such short timelines. After putting out a massive project top of the year, there wasn’t a rush necessarily to force this one out.
