Tekashi69s album still cant get to number one as Travis Scott continues to dominate with Astroworld
Theres more bad news for Tekashi69 as its been confirmed that his debut album, Dummy Boy, still hasnt made it to number one.
The Fefe rapper, who is currently in jail, has once again lost out to Travis Scott and his unstoppable album Astroworld, which holds onto the Billboard 200 top spot.
Earlier this month, it was reported that there might be an error with Billboards album chart data prompting speculation that Tekashi, 22, might actually have the number one record after all.
However, after some investigating by Nielsen Soundscan, Billboard have determined that Travis, 26, is the reigning chart champion after all.
Tough luck, Tekashi.
Confirming the news, a Billboard spokesperson told TMZ: In a historically close race, after a rigorous review of the process and the methodology by which the number one ranking on last weeks Billboard 200 album chart was awarded to Travis Scotts Astroworld, we concluded that no correction was warranted.

Still, its not all bad for Tekashi as the incarcerated rapper has settled for second place.
The Gummo rapper released Dummy Boy last month after he was denied bail following an arrest on racketeering and weapons charges. The 13-track record, which features Nicki Minaj and Kanye West, was initially leaked online after Tekashis team delayed the release due to his uncertain legal issues.
However, the rapper didnt want to disappoint his legion of fans and decided to go ahead with the release anyway.

Meanwhile, Travis continues to enjoy unprecedented success with Astroworld, which was released in August. The critically-acclaimed album debuted at number one after pushing 537,000 equivalent sales, while also clocking up a staggering 349.43 million streams in its first week.
Travis is wisely riding the train of success as the rapper is currently touring the album around North America.
