A$AP Rocky’s upcoming album “Don’t Be Dumb” is generating major hype ahead of its release. The album has reached nearly 500,000 pre-saves on Spotify, making it one of the most pre-saved projects on the platform.
The album’s pre-save count of 499,900 currently ranks fourth on Spotify, behind Joji’s “Piss In The Wind” (985,600), Gorillaz’s “The Mountain” (845,300), and Charli XCX’s “Wuthering Heights” soundtrack (549,200). A$AP Rocky’s record is even ahead of Kanye West’s “BULLY”, which has 473,900 pre-saves.
“Don’t Be Dumb” comes after a long delay and previously low physical pre-orders in 2024. Early hype around the album now suggests that fans are eagerly engaging with the project on streaming platforms.
The album is set to release on January 16, 2026, less than two weeks away. Ahead of the album, A$AP Rocky is dropping the single “Punk Rocky” on January 5, accompanied by a music video starring Winona Ryder.
Reports indicate that “Don’t Be Dumb” will be a genre-blending project and possibly A$AP Rocky’s most ambitious album yet. Multiple teaser tracks and collaborations have already created anticipation among fans.
The album is expected to be the first major hip-hop release of 2026, with both digital streaming numbers and physical sales closely watched. Fans and critics alike will be paying attention to whether the album meets its high expectations.
