Kanye West’s impressive streak of 11 consecutive number one albums has come to an end. His latest album, Vultures 2, featuring Ty Dolla Sign, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was surpassed by Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which topped the charts with 142,000 equivalent album units for the week ending August 8, as reported by Luminate.
This week marks Swift’s 14th week at the top with The Tortured Poets Department, a record-setting achievement that further solidifies her dominance in the industry. Her album has also led in sales and performed strongly on streaming platforms. The record’s success has been bolstered by a series of promotional strategies, including multiple digital album variations and exclusive tracks.
Kanye West’s new album, despite its strong debut with 107,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week, could not dethrone Swift. This marks West’s 13th album to reach one of the top two positions on the Billboard 200.
The competition between West and Swift dates back to 2009, when West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Their relationship deteriorated further in 2016 with the release of West’s song Famous, which led to a public feud involving West, Swift, and Kim Kardashian. Despite occasional reconciliations, the animosity between the two artists has remained a notable part of their histories.
In the latest development, West’s new album features a track with lyrics that seem to reference Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. The mention has sparked reactions from Kelce’s family, with Kelce’s father commenting on the track’s content.
This release continues the ongoing rivalry between West and Swift, a feud that has persisted through numerous public incidents and controversies.
