Kanye West's new album Donda 2 has been disqualified from the Billboard charts, the publication reports, thanks to rules regarding merchandise bundles.

Donda 2 was released on February 25 on Kanye West's Stem Player, a device that isolates songs into different musical elements.

Because the album is being sold on "with a device that can be used for other means besides the playing of the album," the Stem Player qualifies as merchandise, putting Donda 2 in violation of Billboard's rules.
