A$AP Rocky’s ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Posts 2026’s Biggest Debut as He Takes the SNL Stage

Early momentum follows a high-concept rollout featuring global billboards plus a star-packed tracklist.

Overview

  • Rocky made his musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live, performing “Punk Rocky” and a medley of “Helicopter” with the title track one day after the album’s release.
  • The album logged 35.43 million Spotify streams in its first full day, reported as the largest album debut of 2026 so far.
  • A press release cited more than 130,000 vinyl units sold before streaming launch, boosted by multiple variants and early retail availability.
  • Morrissey does not appear on the final tracklist after earlier teases, with Rocky previously saying he re-recorded most of the project following leaks.
  • Rocky signaled a possible deluxe edition by liking a fan post about the unreleased track “Your Honor,” a gesture fans interpreted as a hint rather than a confirmation.
