West’s latest studio album, Jesus Is King, which dropped on October 25, has hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. 

According to Nielsen Music, the gospel-inspired album sold 264,000 equivalent album units in the US in the first week. Streaming was the majority of that number with the remaining 109,000 in album sales.

West’s nine consecutive peak debuts mean that he is officially tied with Eminem for the most consecutive No. 1’s on the Billboard 200 charts. 

West (and Eminem) are still far, however, from the record of most No. 1s on the Billboard 200 of all time. Holding that record are the Beatles with a whopping 19! They are followed by Jay-Z with 14, Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand with 11 each, and Elvis Presley with 10.

West took to social media tweeting Monday that his delayed album is dropping in just a few days. 

“JESUS IS KING OCT 25th,” the rapper tweeted, alongside an image of a blue vinyl record with his name and the album title.

The album was originally supposed to debut September 27, but it will now officially drop on October 25. According to Entertainment Weekly, West told fans at the Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Experience event at George Washington University on October 12, that the album is delayed because he is “making it better for y’all.”

Jesus Is King’s and its trackless of Christian-themed titles arrives this Friday.
