Vultures 1 by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign remains the most popular album in America. The duo, collectively known as ¥$, continues to achieve commercial success with their first joint project.
According to Billboard, Vultures 1 remained atop the Billboard 200 for a second consecutive chart. The project racked up an additional 75,000 units in week two of its release.
That amount was barely enough to hold off California rapper Yeat’s 2093 which collected 70,000 first-week units. The 22-track 2093 features Lil Wayne and Future. Additionally, Drake shows up on the Phase 2 deluxe edition.
As far as Vultures 1, ¥$’s album became the first Kanye West project to spend two weeks at No. 1 since 2011’s Watch The Throne with Jay-Z. Ye’s Late Registration from 2005 is his only other body of work to reign for two weeks.

Ty Dolla $ign earned his first Billboard 200 chart-topper when Vultures 1 debuted in the pole position of last week’s rankings. The R&B singer previously peaked at No. 4 when Featuring Ty Dolla $ign dropped in 2020.
Additionally, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti scored a Top 10 victory on the Billboard Hot 100. The collaboration debuted at No. 3 on that chart.
Vultures 1 arrived following several release date pushbacks and controversies involving sample clearances. In addition, Apple Music temporarily removed the album from its platform at the supposed request of the FUGA distribution company.
