The post Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Hit No. 1 With Album “Vultures 1” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Vultures 1 earned 148,000 album equivalent units during its first week on the chart, including 129,000 SEA units (equaling 167.78 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), plus 18,000 in album sales and 1,000 in TEA units.
These numbers are pretty impressive considering the album’s unorthodox rollout. Vultures 1 was released as a digital album and hit streaming services on February 10 through West’s YZY brand after several major delays. Its CD and vinyl versions are expected to be released at a later date.
The success of Vultures 1 was boosted by its star-studded tracklist, which featured a total of 16 songs, including collaborations with Freddie Gibbs, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Lil Durk, and Chris Brown.
As for the rest of the Billboard 200 chart for this week, Usher scored his highest charting album in over a decade with Coming Home at No. 2. Noah Kahan’s Stick Season climbed to No. 3 following the release of a deluxe edition, ahead of former No. 1s Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time and SZA’s SOS.

]]>Vultures has reportedly been in the works since 2018, and the hip-hop duo teased its release with the title track, which featured Bump J and Lil Durk, back in November. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign announced several release dates for their elusive album ever since, but none of them manifested thus far.
Vultures has now been pushed back to February 9, and it’s available for pre-order on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Fans are wondering if West and Ty Dolla Sign will be able to meet the new deadline since they’ve already pushed its release on several occasions, most recently from January 12 and January 19 to February 9.
The hip-hop duo also revealed this album will feature a total of 18 tracks and teased a long list of A-list collaborators, including Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Quavo, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Bad Bunny, Kodak Black, Young Thug, Kid Cudi, and Metro Boomin.

]]>Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are gearing up for the release of their collaborative album Vultures, and they teased several potential collaborations with everyone from Bad Bunny and Chris Brown to Lil Baby and Future.
January 12 will be a great day for hip-hop because it will also mark the release of Kid Cudi’s ninth studio album Insano, which will see him joining forces with the likes of Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams, and ASAP Rocky.
Kali Uchis created a lot of hype for her upcoming fourth studio album Orquídeas with the Karol G collaboration “Labios Mordidos”, and its release date is just around the corner.

]]>Vultures was initially supposed to arrive in October but has since been hit with several delays. The original release date was first pushed back to November before being rescheduled for December 15. However, the date came and went without the album dropping, and its status has been unclear until now.
Reportedly, the reasons for frequent delays were connected to West and Ty Dolla $ign’s struggles to get clearances for certain tracks. They had trouble securing clearance to use a sample of the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 hit track “Everybody,” while Nicki Minaj refused to give the duo permission to use her verse for the song “New Body.”
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign first announced the album in the summer of 2023. It will be West’s first studio effort since 2021’s Donda and Ty Dolla $ign’s first new record since Cheers to the Best Memories, a collaboration project with Canadian duo Dvsn.
Vultures, which was already previewed at several listening parties, is expected to feature a star-studded list of guest appearances that includes Lil Baby, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, Future, Lil Wayne, and Bad Bunny.

]]>West recently went on social media platform X (former Twitter) to share a screenshot of the message he sent to Minaj in which he asks for clearance to use the verse while also tagging the “Anaconda” rapper.
Shortly after, Minaj had an Instagram Live session in which she explained the reasons for not giving West permission.
“That train has left the station,” said Minaj before explaining that she had just released a “brand new album”.
“Why would I put out a song that has been out for three years?” she added.
Despite never officially coming out, “New Body” has been known among rap fans for a while now. It was initially supposed to be part of West’s album Yandhi before he scrapped the entire project in 2018. The track also didn’t make the cut West’s 2019 record Jesus Is King but ended up being leaked a year after and received positive reviews from the audience.

]]>This song was a long time coming and Cardi B revealed it was recorded before her Megan Thee Stallion collaboration “WAP”. She recorded the music video back in March, but the post-production is taking so long that she decided to share the song with the world first.
“This video has brought me so much drama. So this is the first time I ever do CGI. I’m very particular on how I like my things, and I really like when things look super realistic… I couldn’t maneuver or move how I wanted to, because I was very confused,” Cardi B told Zane Lowe.
She also dished about Kanye West’s verse, saying that he wrote it a few months ago, adding that she loves that it’s personal, but not too personal.
“Hot Sh-t” will be featured on Cardi B’s upcoming second studio album, which still doesn’t have a title or release date. This record was a long time in the making, and its previous singles “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and “Up” have been released in the past two years.

]]>The 27-track album features JAY-Z, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, and more.
Just 24 hours after its release, the album reached the top spot on the Apple Music charts in 152 countries and 19 songs from the top 20 on Apple Music’s Daily Top 100 Global songs chart coming from Donda.
And those aren’t the only records West broke—West and Donda became the most-streamed artist and album in a single day in 2021. This broke Olivia Rodrigo’s record.
Following the album’s release, West claimed Universal released Donda without his permission on social media. “Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked Jail 2 from being on the album,” he wrote on Instagram. “Jail 2” was the collaborative track that features DaBaby and Marilyn Manson.

]]>If you’re wondering what exactly “Donda” is, it’s the album that West promised would be released in the summer of 2020. He even went so far as to share the artwork mockup for the project. Unfortunately, the album was never released.
With all of the commotion of COVID-19 and a handful of other popular albums getting released, the idea of “Donda” was momentarily forgotten. Only West diehards kept wondering what had happened to the album that was promised but never came to be.
Luckily for them, CyHi’s recent statements should be an optimistic sign for things to come. In an interview with VladTV, CyHi claimed that he and West continued working on the album “late last year”, and that they’re still working on it now.
CyHi revealed: “Once November, December, January comes around, [West] kind of takes a hiatus, a little vacation break, get with the family. We’re back working, that’s why I’m out here, too.”
CyHi was also asked in the interview how West was faring after his divorce from socialite Kim Kardashian. He responded that West was “in good spirits”. This new information, along with a possible upcoming album, is nothing but great news regarding the famous rapper.

]]>West previously shared a tracklist that contained 20 songs but deleted it from Twitter shortly after. Then, today, he posted another tracklist, this one containing 12 songs.
An interesting thing about the tracklist is that there is no single “Wash Us in the Blood,” which was released back in June and featured Travis Scott. However, West included track “New Body,” which supposed to be part of his 2019’s album Jesus is King.
Kanye West’s new album was first confirmed back in May by video artist Arthur Jafa, who revealed that the name of the record will be God’s Country. West officially announced the project under that title in June, when he released “Wash Us in the Blood.”
The album, which was in the meantime named after West’s late mother Donda, was reportedly recorded in early 2020 in Mexico. The list of West’s collaborators is still to be revealed, although Pusha T previously confirmed he was involved in the recording sessions.

There isn’t much info about the album so far, but the GQ’s Will Welch managed to hear some snippets of it back in April and described them as “worship songs.” Multiple reports say that the record should be out by the end of the year.
