Ye & Ty have exceeded expectations.

Last weekend, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign finally unleashed their eagerly anticipated collaborative album, Vultures 2. The album was released by surprise and arrived following plenty of delays. It's since earned mixed reactions from listeners. While many are impressed, others feel as though it left a lot to be desired, and wasn't necessarily worth the wait.

On Wednesday, Chart Data reported that the album was on track to move 68K units in its first week. While that's certainly no small feat, the number is fairly low for Ye. In fact, it would mark only the second time he's released an album that didn't top the Billboard 200. It was expected to debut at No. 2 instead, just behind Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department.

Vultures 2 Sells 107K Album-Equivalent Units Its First Week

Now, the first week sales are officially in, and they've exceeded expectations. According to HipHop-N-More, Vultures 2 has moved 107k album-equivalent units in its first week, with 60k coming from pure sales. Of course, this number is still pretty low compared to the first-week sales figures of albums like Jesus Is King or Donda. It looks like Ye might have bigger things to worry about these days, however.

Last week, his former Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos accused Ye's dentist of fueling his alleged nitrous addiction, leaving fans incredibly concerned. #SaveYe even began trending on X, though he's yet to address the shocking claims. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's new album selling 107K units in its first week? Are you surprised they exceeded expectations?
