Pooh Shiesty's new album, All Eyes on Shiest, has debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, XXL reported on August 18, 2026, citing figures Billboard published two days earlier. The album moved 51,000 equivalent album units in its first week, including 51.59 million on-demand official streams, and was available only on streaming platforms.

It marks Pooh Shiesty's second top-10 entry on the chart, after his 2021 mixtape Shiesty Season debuted at No. 3 with 62,000 units. The only other hip-hop album in this week's top 10 is Drake's Iceman, which slipped from No. 6 to No. 9 with 46,000 units.

The release comes as Pooh Shiesty remains in federal custody awaiting trial, after his April arrest on charges of robbing and kidnapping Gucci Mane and several others at a Dallas recording studio in January. Investigators allege that Pooh, his father, Big30 and six other men lured Gucci Mane to the studio and forced him at gunpoint to sign paperwork releasing Pooh from his recording contract before taking cash and valuables from him and his team.

All nine men charged in the case have pleaded not guilty and are due to stand trial next February. Despite the allegations, All Eyes on Shiest was released through 1017 Global, the record label Gucci Mane himself runs, and Gucci referenced the incident directly in his own April song "Crash Dummy," rapping: "Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy," before adding that Pooh remained signed to him regardless.

The chart debut adds to a run of rappers who have released projects from behind bars, a list XXL noted also includes Young Thug, Lil Durk and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, underscoring how little Pooh's legal situation has slowed his commercial momentum so far.
