Detractors who thought a little controversy would stand in the way of Kanye West and the top of the Billboard 200 were sadly mistaken.
In fact, West’s latest opus – ‘Ye’ (in stores now) – was already on track to best the competition and land the Grammy-winner his 8th consecutive chart-topper overall (7th as a solo artist) as industry analysts suggested the set would shift nearly 190k SPS by the end of its first full tracking week (click here to read more about that).
Now, thanks to an impressive streaming surge, the album is on track to cross the 200k threshold by the week’s end. Curious to see just how high ‘Ye’ is set to soar? Look inside:
205,000-225,000
[Sales Plus Streaming]
*******
75,000-85,000
[Pure Sales]

Thought y’all cancelled her
You are forgetting many of his white fans will support.
I’m white and after the s**** comments I will not ever listen endorse or support. Actually horrified and disgusted by anyone that would support him now after that comment.
I could cope with his stupidity but his lack of knowledge of history actually scares me beyond belief!
lmao chile please, 75k means shes still canceled lmfaooooo
I now see claiming to have a mental illness will secure those Kartrashian friend album sells!!
Kanye West’s ’Yesha’ First Week Sales Revised Upward
Fixed it for ya’ll ? I wanna hear Kids See Ghost tho!
Spin this however y’all want… the fact of the matter is these numbers are not good as far as pure sales… Jay Z, Drake, Kendrick even JCole album sales would never be this low! For Kanye this ain’t good!?♀️
I agree but I would add that Kanye is now considered an older artist too. His time is up. Drake and Kendrick got his spot on lock. I’m looking forward to Nas’s album later this year. I refuse to listen to Kanye’s little album.
But Jayz sold more in terms of pure sales. That’s apples & oranges..
Hahahaha!!! Those pfags and queeers on Black Twitter Can’t stop Ye!!! The power of Black twitter was ALWAYS smoke and mirrors.
Girl stfu! His streams went up, but not his sales. Anyway you slice and dice it, issa flop for someone of his caliber.
The increase streams signals success, b/c it means people like the songs enough to listen to them more than once. Streaming success equals chart legs. Sales are becoming less important as time passes.
Streaming is fake sales anyway. Plus a lot of people are just listening to hear the crazy stuff that he’s going to say.
Donald Trump has been streaming the f*** out of this album.
LoL
Its just not good.
Who cares? I gave him the “remove artist from the controversy” doubt, but the half of song I heard didn’t even justify breaking my promise to not listen to his music again.
I wonder if there are some selfbought records in that number ? cause actually I can’t believe that anybody, or at least that many people, still support him.
lmao chile please 75-85k are still CANCELLED SALES. any trump supporter can stream his album on repeat, its still a FLOP lmfaoooo
lmao if post malone can do bigger numbers, miss kanye is canceled lmfaoooo
