Pooh Shiesty earns his second straight top 7 project on Billboard 200 with “All Eyes On Shiest”

Pooh Shiesty’s “All Eyes On Shiest” debuts at No. 7 in US

Pooh Shiesty is continuing to prove that his fanbase remains strong, as his latest project, All Eyes On Shiest, debuts at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The 16-track project earned 51,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, including 49,500 streaming-equivalent album units from 51.59 million on-demand official streams. 

The No. 7 debut gives Shiesty his second straight project to reach the top seven of the Billboard 200, following the success of his 2021 breakthrough mixtape, Shiesty Season.

While Shiesty Season initially debuted at No. 4 in February 2021, it later climbed to its No. 3 peak on the Billboard 200. Billboard’s chart archives confirm that the mixtape reached No. 3 on the March 20, 2021-dated chart. 

That means Shiesty has now placed his two major solo projects in the Billboard 200’s top seven, with both releases eventually reaching the top three or top seven of the chart.

“All Eyes On Shiest” Debuts at No. 7

All Eyes On Shiest arrived on August 7 with 16 songs. The project includes the previously released “FDO” and “Mane,” featuring fellow Memphis superstar GloRilla.

Other collaborations include Sexyy Red, Tay Keith, K Carbon, BIG30 and Baby Slime, giving the album a combination of major Southern rap names and artists connected to Shiesty’s Memphis roots.

The project’s chart performance is particularly notable because of the circumstances surrounding its release. Shiesty is currently incarcerated and has been unable to participate in a traditional album rollout involving interviews, performances and promotional appearances.

Nevertheless, his supporters continued streaming the project heavily enough to give him another top-10 Billboard 200 debut.

“Shiesty Season” Set the Standard

Shiesty first established himself as a major commercial force with Shiesty Season in 2021.

The mixtape initially debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 62,000 equivalent album units, according to contemporary reports. It later climbed to No. 3, making the project a major early-career success for the Memphis rapper. 

Shiesty Season also became an important moment for Memphis hip-hop. The project featured songs such as “Back In Blood” with Lil Durk and “Neighbors” with BIG30, helping establish Shiesty as one of the most recognizable young rappers coming out of the city.

The mixtape’s success also helped him become one of the flagship artists associated with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records.

Five years later, All Eyes On Shiest demonstrates that Shiesty has maintained a strong audience despite significant interruptions to his career.

A Second Top-7 Project

The most important takeaway from the new Billboard result is the consistency.

Shiesty now has two major projects that have reached the upper portion of the Billboard 200. Shiesty Season peaked at No. 3, while All Eyes On Shiest opens at No. 7.

That gives him a remarkable chart résumé considering the amount of time he has spent away from the music industry.

Rather than seeing his audience disappear, Shiesty has returned to the Billboard 200 with another strong performance.

The 51,000-unit opening for All Eyes On Shiest was driven overwhelmingly by streaming. Billboard data shows that the project generated 51.59 million on-demand official streams during its first tracking week. 

That is particularly important for an artist whose current circumstances make traditional album promotion difficult.

GloRilla Keeps It in Memphis

GloRilla’s appearance on “Mane” is one of the album’s biggest connections.

Both Shiesty and GloRilla have helped keep Memphis prominently represented in mainstream hip-hop during the 2020s. Their collaboration also gives All Eyes On Shiest a strong connection to the city’s current generation of rap stars.

BIG30 and K Carbon further reinforce that Memphis identity, while Baby Slime adds another hometown connection.

At the same time, collaborations with Sexyy Red and Tay Keith expand the project’s reach beyond Memphis.

That mixture allows Shiesty to stay connected to the sound and artists that helped shape his career while still working with names who have major audiences throughout hip-hop.

Released During Another Difficult Period

All Eyes On Shiest also arrives during another major interruption in Shiesty’s career.

He initially returned home in October 2025 after serving approximately three and a half years in federal prison. His release gave fans an opportunity to see what a full musical comeback could look like after years away.

However, Shiesty was arrested again in April 2026 and remains incarcerated while awaiting trial on robbery and kidnapping charges. The allegations have not been proven in court, and the rapper has pleaded not guilty.

His trial is currently scheduled for February 2027.

That situation has made the rollout for All Eyes On Shiest very different from the campaign surrounding Shiesty Season.

Shiesty cannot freely travel, perform or appear at promotional events. His fans have therefore played an even larger role in keeping the project moving.

Pooh Shiesty’s Fanbase Remains Strong

The Billboard performance shows that Shiesty’s audience has remained remarkably loyal.

Artists can lose momentum after spending years away from the spotlight, especially when their careers are interrupted during their commercial prime. Shiesty, however, has managed to return with another top-10 project.

His second consecutive top-seven Billboard project is a major accomplishment.

It also gives Shiesty another significant statistic to add to his résumé. Shiesty Season reached No. 3, while All Eyes On Shiest reaches No. 7.

For an artist still relatively early in his career, having both of his major projects perform this well is an impressive foundation.

Memphis Rap Continues to Shine

Shiesty’s success also reflects the continued strength of Memphis rap.

Over the past several years, artists from the city have consistently found major success throughout hip-hop. Shiesty, GloRilla and BIG30 have each contributed to that movement in different ways.

All Eyes On Shiest keeps that Memphis connection at the center of Shiesty’s latest chapter.

The album’s collaborations demonstrate that he has not forgotten where his sound originated, while his Billboard performance shows that his music continues to connect with listeners across the country.

What Comes Next?

The biggest question surrounding Pooh Shiesty is what happens next.

His February 2027 trial will remain a major part of his story, while All Eyes On Shiest gives fans new music to listen to during this latest period of uncertainty.

Regardless of what happens with the legal case, the Billboard numbers provide a clear snapshot of Shiesty’s current musical popularity.

He has now earned a second straight top-seven Billboard 200 project, following Shiesty Season‘s No. 3 peak.

All Eyes On Shiest may have arrived under unusual circumstances, but the response has been undeniable. With 51,000 first-week units and a No. 7 debut, Pooh Shiesty has once again shown that his name still carries significant weight in hip-hop.

From Shiesty Season reaching No. 3 in 2021 to All Eyes On Shiest opening at No. 7 in 2026, Shiesty has maintained an impressive level of Billboard consistency despite the major obstacles that have interrupted his career.
