Kanye West enters at #2 with BULLY, earning 152K units and extending a wild streak of 14 consecutive top-two albums. Despite mixed reactions online, including a stunning 3.4 rating from Pitchfork, the project performed extremely well and should be viewed as a success for the Chicago legend.
Meanwhile, Yeat’s ADL lands at #4 with 57K units, including an impressive 26K in pure sales. Featuring big names like Don Toliver, King Kylie (aka Kylie Jenner), Kid Cudi, and Elton John, the album had the star power and promotion to aim high, and it certainly did.
Melanie Martinez quietly secures #3 with HADES, moving 84K units, including 40K pure. If confirmed, this will mark her third top-three album, reinforcing her dedicated fanbase.
