Tyler, the Creator is back at it, cruising right to the top of the Billboard 200 with his latest album, CHROMAKOPIA! And he didn’t just coast his way to success—he zoomed to No. 1 with a record-breaking 299,500 equivalent album units. (Yes, you read that right. That’s like if everyone in Cleveland decided to hit “play” on this album at once!)
And here’s the kicker: Tyler pulled this off with just four measly days of tracking! Yep, the album dropped on a Monday (October 28), meaning he only had from then until Thursday to make some serious waves in the music world. For context, most albums release on Fridays and get a whole seven days to claw their way to the top. But who needs a full week when you’re Tyler, right? He just said, “Four days is plenty, thank you very much!”
Not only did CHROMAKOPIA become Tyler’s third album to snatch the No. 1 spot (following Call Me If You Get Lost in 2021 and Igor in 2019), but it also gave him his biggest streaming week ever. This is like Tyler saw his previous records, scoffed, and said, “Pfft, I can do better. Watch this.”
To put it simply: Tyler had us waiting, he gave us four days, and we made it count. So, if you haven’t yet, crank up CHROMAKOPIA and witness the magic. Just know you’re listening to an album so popular, it needed only a long weekend to claim the throne.
