Tyler, the Creator is having a historic year and continues to carve out his own lane within the music industry. His latest album “CHROMOKOPIA” has secured the top spot on the Billboard 200. Tyler is on a run in the past four years that is unprecedented.

The Odd Future leader’s project earned nearly 300,000 units in its first week after releasing his album on a Monday, disregarding the Friday release that most artists follow. Taking the road less traveled earned “CHROMOKOPIA” the second-highest rap release of 2024 behind Travis Scott. “CHROMOKOPIA” is the sixth-biggest overall debut this year.

The numbers tell the story. “CHROMOKOPIA” generated more than 212 million streams and sold 142,000 units that were driven by physical album sales and merchandise. What stands out with this specific release is that it is Tyler’s fourth release in the last four years that has hit No. 1. This unprecedented achievement separates him from the pack.
