In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West, also known as Ye, has made a triumphant return to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with his song “Carnival,” a collaboration with Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti from his album “Vultures.”
Despite some controversy surrounding West’s behavior, “Carnival” has been steadily climbing the charts since its debut in late February, eventually claiming the number one spot. This achievement marks West’s fifth number-one song in this decade and his first overall since his feature on Katy Perry’s “E.T.” in 2011.
In addition to its success on the Hot 100, “Carnival” has also been dominating the TikTok Top 50 songs list, showing its popularity across various platforms.
Meanwhile, West’s album “Vultures” has also been performing well, consistently staying in the top 10 of both the albums and songs list in the United States since its release on Feb. 9.
In other chart news, Morgan Wallen’s album “One Thing at a Time” continues to hold the number one spot on the Billboard 200 for a 19th week, breaking the record for most weeks at the top for a country album. This achievement is a testament to Wallen’s enduring popularity and the success of his music.
Overall, while there were no major shakeups on the charts this week, music fans can expect some changes in the coming weeks with the highly anticipated release of Ariana Grande’s new album “Eternal Sunshine,” which has already broken records as Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far.
