Tyler, The Creator Achieves New Billboard Chart Milestone With ‘Chromakopia’
Though Hip-Hop is often viewed as a sport, some artists focus more on outdoing themselves than outperforming their peers. Tyler, The Creator achieved a new, personal charting milestone with the success of his latest album Chromakopia.
The October album sold 104,000 album-equivalent units this week, allowing it to maintain its spot at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and marking three consecutive weeks on the long-running chart’s throne. This achievement puts Chromakopia ahead of his 2021 LP Call Me If You Get Lost and the two weeks that it spent at No. 1. Chromakopia also became his third consecutive and overall No. 1 album, following Call Me and his 2019 effort Igor.
The 33-year-old rapper also earned the longest-running No. 1 Hip-Hop album in 2024, outpacing 21 Savage’s American Dream and Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1, both of which spent two weeks each on top of the Billboard 200.
This feat puts Tyler, The Creator in rare air as Chromakopia has tied Morgan Wallen’s 2023 album One Thing At A Time which also spent three weeks at No. 1 in 2024. He now only sits behind Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which spent four weeks and 15 weeks at No. 1, respectively.
Chromakopia was a 14-track LP with features from Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, ScHoolboy Q, Teezo Touchdown, Doechii, and more. He has shared videos for “Thought I Was Dead,” “Noid,” and “St. Chroma,” plus behind-the-scenes footage and promotional visuals for the album vinyl and upcoming tour.
Chromakopia: The World Tour will begin in St. Paul, MN in February 2025 before making stops in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Toronto. The overseas portion will include visits to Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, London, and Sydney. Lil Yachty and Paris Texas will join Tyler for this world tour.
