Hungry A$AP Rocky fans apparently couldn’t wait to get their hands on the Rap superstar’s fourth studio album – the January 16-released ‘Don’t Be Dumb.’

His first LP since 2018’s ‘Testing,’ the long-awaited set is in a tight race with Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift projects for the top spot on next week’s Billboard 200 – a feat that (if accomplished) will mark Rocky’s third time owning the title over this career.

Celebration of the album’s arrival has come courtesy of a number of its cuts getting the video treatment including ‘Whiskey,’ ‘Flackito Jodye,’ ‘Helicopter,‘ and more.

The clear standout of the bunch, however, is clearly the high-octane ‘Punk Rocky.’

Arrived to digital shelves on January 5, ‘Punk‘ didn’t make its Hot 100 debut until this week’s edition of the chart – benefitting greatly from A$AP’s headline-grabbing appearance on ‘SNL‘ where he showcased a live performance of the Cristoforo Donadi-produced cut.

That promo boost helped hoist the tune to a #64 debut, marking a personal milestone for its performer.

The last time Rocky hit a mark that high on the Hot 100 unaccompanied was when ‘L$D‘ premiered and peaked at #62 on the tally in June 2015.

What’s more, ‘Punk’ – thanks to increased streams of its parent project – is poised to hop even higher on next week’s edition of the all-genre hitlist with some reports indicating it could even crack the top 50!

Keep it locked to That Grape Juice for more on the impact ‘Dumb’ tracks make on the updated Hot 100 once the full list is made available on Tuesday (January 27).
