AceShowbiz - Pooh Shiesty’s latest album All Eyes on Shiest has debuted impressively in the Billboard 200 top 10, marking another significant milestone for the Memphis rapper despite his ongoing legal troubles.

Released through Gucci Mane’s 1017 Global label, the album entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 7 for the week ending August 16, 2026. All Eyes on Shiest moved 51,000 equivalent album units (EAU) in its first week, driven entirely by digital streaming platforms. The total included an impressive 51.59 million on-demand official streams, underscoring the strong fan response despite the absence of physical sales or downloads.

This achievement represents Pooh Shiesty’s second top 10 entry on the Billboard 200. His 2021 mixtape Shiesty Season debuted at No. 3, recording 62,000 EAU in its opening week. Among other hip-hop projects in the current top 10, only Drake’s Iceman secured a spot, dropping from No. 6 to No. 9 with 46,000 EAU.

While celebrating this commercial success, Pooh Shiesty remains in federal custody. He was arrested in April 2026 and is awaiting trial after being charged in connection with an alleged robbery and kidnapping incident involving Gucci Mane and others at a Dallas recording studio in January. Authorities claim that Pooh, his father Big30, and six additional men coerced Gucci Mane at gunpoint into signing a contract release and stole cash and valuables during the incident.

All nine accused have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to stand trial in February 2027. Gucci Mane referenced the event in his April song "Crash Dummy," addressing the situation through his lyrics.

Despite the legal challenges, Pooh Shiesty’s ability to chart high with All Eyes on Shiest demonstrates his continued relevance and strong fanbase in the hip-hop community.
