Of the album’s first-week total, 60,500 units came through traditional album sales. The figure was helped by multiple versions in the marketplace: a widely available standard explicit edition, a late-in-the-week-released clean edition and five additional explicit variants released on Ye’s official webstore – each containing the standard album and one exclusive studio bonus track per album. The webstore editions each sold for $5, while the widely available offerings were discounted to $4.99 in Apple’s iTunes Store. Thanks to the robust sales, Vultures 2 debuts at No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart.

Trending on Billboard

Streaming activity contributes 46,000 units, equaling 59.4 million official on-demand streams of the standard album’s songs), and prompting a No. 6 start on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Track-equivalent album activity comprises the remaining 500 units. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)

With Vultures 2, Ye earns his 12th No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and ties R. Kelly for the fifth-most champs among all artists since the chart began in 1965. The Temptations lead the count, with 19, followed by Drake and Future (15 each) and Jay-Z (14). Since Ye debuted with The College Dropout in 2004, he has only missed the top spot once – 2016’s The Life of Pablo peaked at No. 2.

Ty Dolla $ign picks up his second No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with Vultures 2, following the project’s previous installment. Vultures 1 reigned for five consecutive weeks in February – March.

Elsewhere, Vultures 2 opens at No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart and at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200. On the latter list, the entrance notably ends a streak of 11 consecutive No. 1 starts for Ye’s discography.

Nine tracks from Vultures 2 jump onto the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, led by “Field Trip” at No. 10. The track, which features verses from Playboi Carti, Kodak Black and Don Toliver, was the album’s most-streamed song of the week with 9.5 million official U.S. streams.
