Kanye lands 10th #1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart

[Teletubby 150,579]

Kanye West lands his 10th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Donda debuts atop the list with the year’s biggest week for any album: 309,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week.

It surpasses the year’s previous best week, when Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour started with 295,000 units.

Donda was surprise-released on an off-cycle Sunday, Aug. 29 (instead of the usual Friday for most new albums), and, thus, launches with just five days of activity in its first chart week, instead of seven. The album was released only via streamers and digital retailers, while a release date for a physical album has not been announced.

Of Donda’s 309,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 2, SEA units comprise 272,000 units (equaling 357.39 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks – the largest streaming week of the year for an album), album sales comprise 37,000 and TEA units comprise less than 1,000 units.

2. Halsey’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power debuts at No. 2. 
If I Can’t Have Love starts with 98,000 equivalent album units, and of that sum, album sales comprise 70,500, SEA units comprise 26,500 (equaling 34.76 million on-demand streams) and TEA units comprise 1,000. Of If I Can’t Have Love’s 70,500 in total album sales, physical sales comprise 52,500 (across CD, vinyl LP and cassette configurations), while digital album sales comprise 18,000.

3. Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour falls 1-3 on the new Billboard 200 with 74,000 equivalent album units earned

4. Doja Cat’s Planet Her is a non-mover at No. 4 with 53,000 units

5. The Kid LAROI’s F*ck Love rises 7-5 with 44,000 units

6. Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 9-6 with 40,000 units

7. Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever dips 6-7 with nearly 40,000 equivalent album units

8. Rod Wave’s SoulFly falls 3-8 with 39,000 units

9. Trippie Redd’s Trip at Knight falls 2-9 in its second week with 35,000 units

10. Lil Tecca's We Love You Tecca 2 with 30,000 equivalent album units

While I couldn’t be bothered listening to Donda at least Kanye has put in thousands of hours trying to make this record so I appreciate that. More than I can say for Drake..
