DONDA is Kanye West’s 10th No. 1 album. DONDA’s 309,000 equivalent album units for the week ending Sept. 2 blew past Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour, which came in at 295,000 units.
Kanye West’s DONDA is officially RIAA Gold eligible. Earlier this week, the album crossed 500,000 units sold.
Kanye West joins an esteemed list of talent to have 10 No. 1 albums. Yeezy joins The Beatles (19), JAY-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen (11), Barbra Streisand (11), Eminem (10), and Elvis Presley (10).
That 10 album club will soon be expanding. Kanye’s current foe, Drake, is sitting at nine albums with Certified Lover Boy primed for a No. 1 debut.
Taylor Swift is also set to release Red in November and she also sits at nine albums.
The debate prior to the release of Donda had been the constant back and forth “beef” between Kanye West and Drake.
The two threw shots at each other to assert their positions as to who the best is when it comes to music in the world. They both kept pushing their dates forward until Kanye decided to release his album ‘Donda’ which was followed by Drake’s “Certified Boy Lover”
The release of Donda was preceded by a listening party which was attended by lots of music enthusiasts.
