Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston

Kanye West is set to dominate the Billboard 200 chart once again with his latest joint album, Vultures 1, alongside Ty Dolla $ign. The album has been confirmed as the chart-topper for the upcoming week, marking West's eleventh No. 1 album in the United States. This achievement propels him ahead of music icons Eminem and Elvis Presley, both of whom have secured 10 chart-topping albums.

With this new milestone, Kanye West now shares the fifth position for the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 alongside Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen, each boasting 11 chart-toppers. The Beatles hold the top spot with an impressive 19 No. 1 albums, followed by Jay-Z in second place with 14.

Notably, Drake and Taylor Swift are tied for the third-most No. 1 albums in American history, with 13 chart-toppers each. Both artists reached this milestone last year, and Swift is anticipated to add to her tally with her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Vultures 1 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after moving 148,000 equivalent units. This album joins West's impressive discography of chart-topping records, including Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and others.

West's latest project is the first installment in a trilogy of albums, showcasing his continued success and influence in the music industry. As he secures his eleventh No. 1 album, Kanye West solidifies his position as one of the most accomplished artists in Billboard history.
