Ty Dolla $ign seemingly believes that Vultures 2 is the number one album in the country — but he’s sadly mistaken.

In a video that surfaced on social media on Monday (August 12), the California crooner can be seen performing at a club when he celebrates what he thought was his second joint album with Kanye West topping the charts.

“Number one motherfucking album, man,” he says to the crowd before diving into “Promotion,” the Vultures 2 track featuring Future.

The project actually debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 behind Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which has now spent 14 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart.

Ty Dolla was mocked online for making the mistake, with one person joking: “Old head saw himself #1 on Apple Music and thought it was billboard.”

Another said: “[B]ut they went #1 in bulgaria and fucking turkmenistan so its ok.”

 

Vultures 2 failing to top the Billboard 200 ended Kanye West‘s streak of 11 consecutive number one albums.

The LP sold 107,000 equivalent units in its first week and technically became West’s first album since his 2004 debut The College Dropout not to top the chart.

Kids See Ghosts, his 2018 joint effort with Kid Cudi, previously missed out on the top spot but that album was credited to their duo of the same name and didn’t bear Kanye’s name.

2012’s Cruel Summer also debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 but that project also doesn’t count as a Kanye album as it was billed as a G.O.O.D. Music compilation.

 

Despite missing out on a number one debut, Vultures 2 still far outsold its initial projections.

The much-delayed project was originally expected to earn around 68,000 first-week units but saw a late burst of streams and purchases in the second half of the week as Ye and Ty made continual changes to the album and rolled out various digitial deluxe editions featuring different bonus songs.

Comparatively, Vultures 1 debuted at No. 1 with 148,000 first-week units in February, with the Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid-assisted “Carnival” also reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

If Vultures 2 had matched the success of the first collaborative project, then Kanye would have moved up to joint fourth all-time on the list of artists with most number one albums on the Billboard 200.

The Beatles are currently in the lead with 19, while Swift and JAY-Z both have 14 and Drake follows closely behind with 13.
