In an exciting turn of events, Ye's latest album "Vultures 1" has soared to the top of the Vinyl Albums chart on Billboard in the United States this week. This achievement is even more impressive as it marks the first time the album has been released on vinyl, making it the first installment in a trilogy of albums featuring both Ye and fellow rapper Ty Dolla $ign.
According to Forbes, the success of "Vultures 1" can be attributed to the surge in vinyl purchases after its release. This has allowed Ye's album to surpass the popularity of Taylor Swift's highly acclaimed album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
Swift, who is a well-known figure in the music industry and a longtime rival of Ye, has seen her album pushed down to the number 2 spot on the Vinyl Albums chart after holding the top spot for several weeks. Despite being released back in February of this year, "Vultures 1" is a newcomer to Billboard's list of bestselling titles in the vinyl format.
This marks Ye's third time topping the Vinyl Albums chart, with his previous albums "Ye" and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" also achieving this feat. In fact, Ye has had a total of five top 10 appearances on the Billboard list. This is Ty Dolla $ign's first time reaching the Vinyl Albums chart, making it a significant milestone for the artist.
It's no secret that Ye and Swift have had a long-standing feud, with several public disputes and exchanges over the years. It all began when Ye famously interrupted the country singer during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, and their animosity has only grown since then. Ye has even referenced Swift in his music, including his 2016 album "The Life of Pablo" where he rapped about allegedly having sex with her and called her a derogatory name.
In a recent development, Ye's unauthorized use of Donna Summer's hit song "I Feel Love" has resulted in a settlement with the late artist's estate. This is just another example of the ongoing conflicts between Ye and other artists, but it's clear that his talent and success continue to speak for themselves.
