Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s joint album Vultures 1 is reportedly on course to top the Billboard 200.
The collaborative project, which was released on Saturday morning (February 10), is expected to debut at No. 1 on the chart with around 140,000 first-week sales, per HITS Daily Double.
The album, which was distributed through Kanye’s own YZY imprint after his Def Jam deal ended and major labels reportedly distanced themselves from him over his antisemitic comments, marks the rap mogul’s first independent release.
If it does indeed top the Billboard 200, it would become Ye’s 11th No. 1 album. Ty Dolla $ign has never previously topped the chart but his last solo album, 2020’s Featuring Ty Dolla Sign, peaked at No. 4.
The pair are expected to release two more Vultures albums on March 8 and April 5.
