With nine studio albums under his belt and no end in sight, it's safe to say rapper and producer Kanye West is still riding the ultralight beam.
West's gospel-inspired album "Jesus is King," released October 25, has hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, his ninth consecutive album to debut at No. 1.
West is now tied with Eminem for the most consecutive No. 1's on the Billboard 200 charts, says Billboard.
The
Billboard 200 chart ranks the United States' most popular albums of the
week. The new chart, where "Jesus Is King" sits at No. 1, is set to be
released Tuesday.
The new album
breaks a personal record for West -- "Jesus is King" has given the
rapper his biggest streaming week ever, at 196.9 million on-demand
streams of its tracks, according to Billboard.
The
album also boasts the second largest sales week of the year for an
R&B/Hip-Hop album, selling more than 100,000 copies, second only to
Post Malone's album "Hollywood's Bleeding."
