Travis Scott's newly released album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is on track to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. charts.

As of Wednesday, industry forecasters are projecting the rapper's sophomore set could shift over 80,000 equivalent album units by end of its first sales tracking week, which ends Thursday (Sept. 8).

Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight was released on Sept. 2 after months of teasing and various delays. It features a number of guest appearances, including André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, Swizz Beatz, The Weeknd, Young Thug and more.

Scott's debut album Rodeo peaked last year with a No. 3 start on the Billboard 200. Unlike that record, however, his latest is available exclusively on Apple Music and iTunes.
