Overview

  • On July 29 during a Hot 97 interview, Tyler disclosed that ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ was originally intended as the moniker for a duo with ASAP Rocky.
  • He explained that mismatched schedules—his 7 a.m. studio sessions versus Rocky’s night-owl habits—prevented the collaboration from moving forward.
  • Tyler repurposed the title for his surprise-released ninth album last week, keeping it “in the tuck” until it fit his solo project.
  • Don’t Tap the Glass debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 197,000 album-equivalent units in its first four tracking days.
  • The self-produced, feature-free record spans ten dance-oriented tracks that form the backbone of Tyler’s Chromakopia World Tour performances.
