Kanye West‘s critically acclaimed LP The Life of Pablo has landed atop the Billboard charts in a very unusual fashion. The album, which was released exclusively on Tidal, sold an equivalent of 95,000 records in the week ending on April 7th, the first week that it was eligible.
Along with a few tweets, Kanye announced that TLOP was the first album to top the charts with numbers based primarily on streaming. This gives Kanye his seventh No. 1 album. Congrats!
