 TLOP was up on sale and on Tidal (and now on Spotify, Apple Music, etc) and the Coloring Book is only available on Apple Music.

Nah, Kanye's sales contributed to its position on the charts. 28.000 copies first week + 94.000 equivalent album units from streaming. Chance did this with streaming alone.

That's not the reason. Tidal didn't disclose streaming data to Nielsen SoundScan, so it did not chart.

TLOP wasn't available for purchase until April. 

TLOP would be the first album to achieve this if Tidal had disclosed the streaming data.

Sad to be celebrated for people not wanting to actually buy your music.... That's how I feel about it
