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.
