Tyler, The Creator’s ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ Shakes Up YouTube Charts

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator’s new album CHROMAKOPIA is making waves, landing six tracks on the US Top Songs chart. Standouts include “ST. CHROMA” (#10), “THOUGHT I WAS DEAD” (#12), and the fan-favorite “Noid” (#17), accompanied by a popular music video. Tyler now ranks #3 on the US Top Artists chart, fueled by his fresh release and the viral resurgence of his 2017 hit “See You Again” featuring Kali Uchis, which has climbed to #5 on US Top Songs on Shorts thanks to a revived dance trend.

Tyler, the Creator, is taking a victory lap as his latest album, CHROMAKOPIA, tops the Billboard 200 charts. Highlighting the achievement on Instagram, Tyler wrote: “300k. on a Monday morning. Thank you to every listener.”

Tyler, the Creator has scored his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as his latest release, CHROMAKOPIA, lands at the top of the chart dated Nov. 9. The album launched with 299,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its first four days, marking the artist’s biggest debut week yet and the sixth-largest debut of 2024.

Released on an unusual Monday (Oct. 28) following its Oct. 17 announcement, CHROMAKOPIA achieved Tyler’s strongest streaming and sales weeks to date. Its success would have made it No. 1 based solely on streaming or sales alone. With 157,000 SEA units and 212.55 million on-demand streams, it tops the Top Streaming Albums chart, while 142,000 album sales earned it the No. 1 spot on the Top Album Sales chart.

CHROMAKOPIA includes an 11-song standard edition and two expanded 14-song versions with features from artists like Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne, Doechii, and Santigold. Vinyl sales also reached 66,000, marking Tyler’s best vinyl week and the third-largest vinyl debut for a rap album since tracking began in 1991.

Tyler’s latest release cements his influence in music. It follows his previous No. 1 albums, Call Me If You Get Lost (2021) and Igor (2019), bringing his total to seven top-ten-charting albums.

Tyler, The Creator Shows Love To Fans After CHROMAKOPIA Reception

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator is on a roll. The rapper was already considered a major talent for his first four albums, but his last four have kicked things up a notch. The production, the ambition, the experimentation. It’s all been elevated, and the fans have taken notice. CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler’s latest, has been met with glowing reviews from both fans and critics. Some have labeled it his best album to date. Tyler, The Creator has been thrilled with these reactions, and decided to give flowers back to the fans via Instagram.

The rapper hopped on social media on November 7 to share his heartwarming message. He posted a photo of a CHROMAKOPIA vinyl with a wall of white text over it. The gist of the message was that he’s struggled to mature with his art while maturing as a person, and he appreciates the fans who have been understanding of this struggle. “I’m at a different point in my life than I was when most of you met me,” he noted. “So to share these thoughts or feelings that I may/may not have lightly touched on before felt like such a release.”

Tyler, The Creator Is At A “Different Point” In Her Life

Tyler, The Creator then claimed that the responded he’s gotten to CHROMAKOPIA is unlike anything he’s ever seen before. “To see so many of you resonate with it is such a great feeling I’ve never experienced,” he concluded. “Thank you.” This is not the first time Tyler, The Creator has spoken on the topic of getting older. The rapper expanded upon the concept of maturing through music during a recent live show. That said, he has also been quick to defend some of the controversial statements he made during his earlier career.

Tyler, The Creator blasted Taylor Swift fans who were reportedly digging up old lyrics and trying to get him canceled. “[I] got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a*s, bringing up old lyrics,” he told his live show audience. “B*tch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f*ck.” The rapper has plans to mature, and his CHROMAKOPIA lyrics reflect this change. He still maintains a soft spot for his more rambunctious side. The maturity ultimately comes in trying to strike the proper balance. Fans of Tyler, The Creator’s new album can see this balance attempted in real time.

Tyler The Creator Thanks People Who Hated (Or Loved) ‘Chromakopia’ For Listening To The Album

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

By some measures, Tyler The Creator’s Chromakopia could be considered the biggest album of his career so far. Not only is it his third straight/total No. 1, but it also spawned his first two top-10 songs ever. In light of how the album has been received, Tyler is feeling gratitude, even towards those who don’t love the project.

In a post shared on his Instagram Story, Tyler wrote:

“thank you to everyone who has listened, skimmed through, put it on repeat, turned off, loved it, hated it, grew on, grown off, related to, was foreign to, anything.

i really appreciate any ears.

Meanwhile, Tyler also recently addressed Taylor Swift fans over their attempts to cancel him, saying, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass. Bringing up old lyrics, b*tch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f*ck. They gonna bring out the old me.”

Tyler, The Creator Does Something He’s Never Done Before On The Charts Thanks To “Chromakopia”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In just a matter of weeks, Tyler, The Creator was able to create immense hype for a new album. It was a pretty sudden and stunning move by the eclectic California multi-talent, but his fans were ready. However, for a new album from one of the biggest hip-hop acts of this generation, CHROMAKOPIA didn’t have a typical release date. T has been preaching that musicians need to go back to dropping new material at the top of the week to allow the listeners to really digest what they are hearing. It was a bold move that wound up working in his favor anyway, as his seventh studio LP would go on to top the Billboard Hot 200.

It moved an astounding 297,500 copies in its first week on the market with a whopping 142,000 coming from pure sales. It’s also his third consecutive time doing this, with 2019’s IGOR, and 2021’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST being those other titles. So yes, that isn’t too big of news. However, what is huge is the chart performance of CHROMAKOPIA in terms of its songs. According to Uproxx, Tyler has just done something he’s never accomplished before.

Tyler, The Creator Is Also Projected To Be Atop The Hot 200 Again

A post shared by Billboard Charts (@billboardcharts)

With the new Hot 100 chart now here, the veteran has landed two tracks within the top 10. “St. Chroma” with Daniel Caesar is the higher of the two, sliding in at seven. “Noid,” one of the lead-off cuts, sneaks in at the tenth spot. But the rest of the album did extremely well too. The remainder of the tracklist would find their way into the mix, with the next highest, “Sticky,” coming in at 14. The lowest of them, “I Hope Your Find Your Way Home,” respectably dropped into the 65th spot.

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator nabbing his first top 10 placement within the Hot 100 chart this week? Do you think more will crack into the upper echelon? Will the two current songs move up at all? What songs are your favorite from CHROMAKOPIA? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tyler The Creator Just Landed His First Two Top-10 Songs Despite An Incomplete Tracking Week

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Most new songs and albums are released on Fridays, because that’s when the tracking week for Billboard chart eligibility starts. So, dropping a new release on any other day presents a chart disadvantage, since the song/album misses out on days of listening activity. That said, all of this didn’t stop Tyler The Creator from being successful with his latest project, Chromakopia, which he released on a Monday.

Since the album was released on a Monday, it missed out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from its debut week, meaning the project’s debut numbers all came from four days. Despite that disadvantage, Chromakopia debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The project had an impact on the Hot 100 chart revealed today (November 4), too. On the chart dated November 9, Tyler’s “St. Chroma” featuring Daniel Caesar debuts at No. 7, while Noid also cracked the top 10 in the final spot. These are Tyler’s first-ever top-10 songs. His previous high was at No. 13 with Igor standout “Earfquake” in 2019.

The other most noteworthy song in this week’s Hot 100 top-10 is Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which returns to No. 1 for a 16th total week. It is now tied for the second-most weeks spent at No. 1, alongside Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”; Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito”; and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day.” It’s now behind only Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”

Tyler The Creator’s ‘Chromakopia’ Debuted At No. 1 Despite Losing Three Days Of Streams With Its Monday Release

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler The Creator’s new album Chromakopia tops the Billboard 200 albums chart this week with the highest sales total of any new rap album this year. Chromakopia earned 299,500 album equivalent units, according to Billboard, breaking down to 157,000 on-demand streams and 142,000 direct album sales. It’s the biggest first week of Tyler’s career; his last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, earned 169,000 album equivalent units, while its predecessor, Igor, racked up 165,000. The only higher rap debut of 2024 was the streaming re-issue of Travis Scott’s 2014 mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, which pulled in 361,000 equivalent units.

Here’s the thing, though: Tyler released on a Monday, foregoing an entire weekend of potential streams and sales, which means he could have outsold Scott by A LOT in a full week. It also goes to show that with a tight rollout and fan interest, early week releases are just as viable — perhaps even more so — than dropping on Friday. Of course, if every artist and label agreed to go back to Tuesdays, there’d be more competition, but it also seems that they wouldn’t hurt for sales and streams, as fans would have a whole week to discover new music and listen to it throughout the day, without the distractions of weekend entertainment and errands.

The rest of the top ten is as follows: at No. 2, Halsey’s The Great Impersonator, at No. 3, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, at No. 4, Kelsea Ballerini’s Patterns, at No. 5, Rod Wave’s Last Lap, at No. 6, Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady, at No. 7, Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us, at No. 8 Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time, at No. 9, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft , and at No. 10, GloRilla’s Glorious.

Tyler The Creator Praises His Early Work & His Evolution While Reflecting On “CHROMAKOPIA”

November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler The Creator’s new album CHROMAKOPIA is the No. 1 album in the world right now by a lot of metrics, potentially nabbing the top spot on the Billboard 200. Moreover, he’s celebrating that success with the fans and basking in the moment with gratitude and happiness. The Hawthorne native held various small shows since the LP’s release, including a Brooklyn show on Saturday (November 2). While reflecting on his new project’s massive success and on his fans’ support, he spoke on how he still appreciates his early work despite the long, mature road home he’s championed since those early Odd Future days.

“The number one album in the world right now, man,” Tyler, The Creator expressed concerning CHROMAKOPIA. “Real growth, though. Real growth, bro. I’m not – Listen, I didn’t pick this s**t up ’cause it was cute. I’ve been making music since before I had hair on my d**k, bro. I love this s**t, always have. I think n***as mix my humor up with, like, a lack of artistic integrity. You look at my early s**t, it was artistic integrity in everything. N***as was funny and goofy and trolling. But it had that artistic integrity. So to keep that, and for the s**t to just continue to do this, 13 years in my career, n***a, how amazing is that? So much gratitude sits under this hubris and this confidence and what they call arrogance. But I really put in the work. So everybody who listened to the album, again, thank you so much.”

Tyler The Creator Thanks Fans During CHROMAKOPIA Show

Of course, the old T is still in there, even in ways that might trigger casual listeners. During another CHROMAKOPIA show in Boston this week, Tyler, The Creator mockingly called out “racist-a**” Swifties who brought up his old lyrics. “They gon’ bring out the old me,” he joked.

Elsewhere, CHROMAKOPIA‘s commercial success despite its Monday release paired with a lot of praiseful fan reception. Regardless of your stance on all this, it seems like Tyler, The Creator isn’t going away anytime soon, whether his decade-plus-long bravado or its matured, focused evolution. He’s just grateful for it all.

Tyler, The Creator Finds His Way Home On Our Stacked New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Halloween is over, and hip-hop gave us one of its most stacked release weeks all year. As such, we rounded up the best of the best on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, and there’s one artist who blew the game up at the top of the week. Tyler, The Creator dropped CHROMAKOPIA, his new album with very little lead-up but a powerful one nonetheless. It helps that it’s full of not just some of his most personal material ever, but also some of his hardest and most fun bangers across his career. If you haven’t already been bumping cuts like “Rah Tah Tah” and “Sticky” with GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne, give it a shot to electrify your day.

Elsewhere on Fire Emoji, we have other hot new projects to talk about that fans have been waiting on for a long time. Freddie Gibbs finally returned with his new album You Only Die 1nce, and cuts like “Brick Fees” display why he’s one of the coldest rappers in the game. Also, Lil Uzi Vert went wild and unfiltered on Eternal Atake 2, and we’d recommend the energetic “Light Year (Practice)” as a solid taster. Finally, Westside Gunn actually dropped two projects this week, but the main event is Still Praying, on which “Free Shots” with DJ Drama and Conway The Machine is a particularly gritty highlight.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Meanwhile, Fire Emoji also contains the week’s hottest singles, including the “SOUTH OF FRANCE” remix with Future and Travis Scott. It was the version that fans originally wanted to hear on MIXTAPE PLUTO, so it’s great to have the wavy collab in our possession. In addition, JID and Ab-Soul joined forces for a menacing, lyrically dense, and wholly fitting collab, “Crazier.” The drums on here focus up the bars and add a welcome sense of suspense that both MCs don’t always tap into, but handle with skill.

Rounding things out is the Waka Flocka Flame-tributing “STILL IN THE PAINT” from Denzel Curry, LAZER DIM 700, and Bktherula. Finally, we wanted to shout out Central Cee for a passionate and confident performance on the song “One By One.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest great rap drops around the clock.
