Billboard 200: Taylor Swift BLOCKS Kanye West From #1, Ends Rapper’s Nearly 20-Year Chart-Topping Streak

Published: Sunday 11th Aug 2024 by Sam

Taylor Swift has landed a jaw-dropping 14th week atop the Billboard 200 with ‘The Tortured Poets Corner.’

And in the process, she’s denied her longtime foe Kanye West the top spot with ‘Vultures 2,’ his new collaborative effort with Ty Dolla $ign.

That’s not all, because her triumph also ends the rapper’s long-running streak on the coveted count.

Full story below…

Swift towers tall on the tally after selling 142,000 units, up 98% on the previous week (thanks to the release of yet another variant of the project). The feat extends the already historic run of her latest LP.

West and Ty’s effort launches at #2 after selling 107,000.

While nothing to scoff at, Swift has ended West’s near 20-year streak of chart-toppers dating back to his 2005 sophomore album ‘Late Registration.’

Although Ye’s string of #1s was “technically” broken in 2018 with the #2 debut of his Kid Cudi-assisted album ‘Kids See Ghosts,‘ the project was credited to the group Kids See Ghosts and not its individual contributors (thereby leaving West’s streak intact at the time).

‘Vultures 2’ is collectively credited to West, Ty Dolla $ign, and their group name ¥$.
