HITS 5/24: Tyler The Creator #1 145-170k SPS, DJ Khaled 110-135k

[BeachBum Unreal]

Two new Sony releases are duking it out for the top spot on our next chart. Columbia’s Tyler, The Creator currently enjoys the advantage over We The Best/Epic’s DJ Khaled. Tyler’s “Earfquake” is the #1 track at Spotify U.S. and Apple Music, while Khaled has six tracks on the latter service’s Top 10, including the #2 and #3 songs. Here’s what the state of play looks like:

Tyler, The Creator (Columbia) 145-170k total activity, 45-65k album

DJ Khaled (We The Best/Epic) 110-135k, 20-30k

You’ll notice lots of Apple real estate devoted to Khaled, whose new Father of Asahd set features an array of guest stars. His highest-streaming tracks so far are “Wish Wish” f/Cardi B & 21 Savage and “Higher” f/John Legend and the late Nipsey Hussle. Another track, “Just Us” f/SZA (currently Top 10 at Apple), has just gone to radio. This is Khaled’s highest-charting song at Spotify U.S., at #36.

Tyler’s IGOR album has another track in the Spotify Top 10 (“I Think” at #8) and a gaggle of songs bubbling just under the Top 15. “Earfquake” is also Top 10 on the Spot’s Global chart.

Khaled and Tyler have the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, on the iTunes album chart. None of their tracks are in the Top 10 there.

How will this grudge match evolve in the coming days? Stay tuned.

Cograts to Tyler on outselling newer acts, and be reinventing himself since 2011. He evolved a lot

album any good?
havent seen any singles from this album
or is he not a singles artist

Spoiler

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I could be wrong but I feel like Khaled albums always drop when another person with a real following drops too so he always gets outshined even with all the extra forced promo he does ....but he’ll find some chart to claim it as the #1 album

Tyler has a real fan base...and album is getting praise

It’s one of those albums that the Grammy people view as artsy and nominate it for shyt

Actually khaled could still beat tyler, putting out a video for every song means his streams are increasing throughout the week while tyler's drop

No surprise tyler got a fanbase

Actually even Khaled's numbers are amazing

I haven't heard a single Tyler song. What's he rappin about?

Khaled is going to end up outselling him due to the hits he's gonna have.

 

[KingBeez]

Tyler barely missed out on a #1 with Flower Boy, so I hope he gets it with this album. I got it on repeat.

What hits is Khaled going to have?

 

[That 808]

Khaled thinks he's slick. Dude released like 9 videos for this album already... Don't those streams count as well?

 

[OfTheCross]

What hits is Khaled going to have?

Cardi record. Chris Brown record, maybe Sza, shyt...many of the songs could be mild hits... Wayne and Gunna track, Post Malone could be big, You Stay could be a mild hit

If they don’t count, ain’t it smart?
