Kanye West’s 19-year streak of Number One album debuts broken by Taylor Swift
Kanye West’s 19-year streak of Number One album debuts has been broken by Taylor Swift this week.Swift’s The Tortured Poet’s Department has now spent 14 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 in the US.Meanwhile, West’s new album, ‘Vultures 2’ a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, debuted at number two, ending West’s 19-year reign of achieving number one debuts.The last time West didn’t debut at number one was for his debut, ‘The College Dropout’, which debuted at number two in 2004.West, now known as Ye, and Ty, real name Tyrone Griffin Jr., released their first collaborative album, ‘Vultures 1’, under the name ¥$ on February 10, before ‘Vultures 2’ arrived earlier this month (August 4) – months after its planned original release date in March.Swift recently released another variant of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.After her album returned to Number One on the Billboard charts, fans speculated that the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer was priming for a further chart run by strategically releasing another limited-time-only variation.Some fans speculated the release was timed in an effort to block both Charli XCX and Billie Eilish from charting with their recently released albums, ‘Brat‘ and ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft‘.When both artists teamed up on ‘Guess’, Swift released another variant of the album.The release has now also blocked West from achieving a Number One.Initially, Swift’s album spent its first 12 weeks on the chart at Number One, then fell briefly to Number Four for two weeks.

Chappell Roan on course for UK Number One album – almost a year after debut’s release
Chappell Roan is on her way to claiming her first UK Number One album, with breakthrough debut ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’.Released last September, the album marked the long-awaited debut LP from Roan and, while it did well on the US charts, it had less of an impact in the UK.However, following the singer’s huge surge in popularity over the past few months, the debut has been making waves in England and is on course for the top position on the charts – nearly a year after it first arrived.The rise in her profile comes thanks to the huge global success of her one-off single ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, as well as the support slot she locked in on Olivia Rodrigo’s huge run of ‘Guts’ tour dates.Currently, ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ is sat at the Number Two spot on the Official Singles Charts, and ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’ has moved up three places midweek in the album charts thanks to the release of a vinyl variant (via Official Charts).At the time of writing, two of Roan’s singles have already made it to the UK Top 40 singles charts: ‘HOT TO GO!’, which peaked at Number 19, and ‘Red Wine Supernova’ climbed to Number 38.Other competitors for the UK Number One album are Charli XCX, who has been dominating the music charts this summer with her hit album ‘Brat’, Jack White’s latest record ‘No Name’ (currently at Number Six), Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘VULTURES 2’ (Nine), Sam Smith’s reissued 2014 debut album ‘In The Lonely Hour’ (22) and 86TVs’ self-titled album (27).Around the time of its release, Roan’s debut album was given a glowing four-star review by NME, with Hannah Mylrea describing it as laden with “unabashedly fun anthems”.“Sharp pop moments shine brighter than some of the weaker ballads that pad

Kanye West and Donna Summer’s estate reach settlement over use of ‘I Feel Love’
Kanye West and Donna Summer‘s estate have finally reached a settlement over the alleged “illegal” use of ‘I Feel Love’ on the rapper’s ‘Vultures 1’ album.A copyright infringement lawsuit was filed against both West and Ty Dolla $ign back in February by Summer’s husband Bruce Sudano, claiming that the two rappers did not have permission to sample the 1977 disco hit on their collaborative album.It was alleged at the time that representatives for West – had asked for permission to use the sample on his track ‘Good (Don’t Die)’, but were turned down by the late singer’s estate as they “wanted no association with West’s controversial history”.Sudano also claimed that West and Ty then approached Summer’s record label, Universal Music Enterprises, in a bid to be granted permission, but were denied once again. From there, he alleged, the two rappers “shamelessly” included re-recorded parts of the hit that were “instantly recognisable” on the ‘Vultures 1’ cut.Shortly after the lawsuit emerged, ‘Good (Don’t Die)’ was removed from Spotify and other streaming services.Last month, it was reported that a settlement had been reached and now in new court documents, it has been confirmed that the case has been dismissed with prejudice, according to Pitchfork.The documents did not reveal the terms of the settlement and all parties are yet to comment on the outcome.This wasn’t the only claim of infringement that arose following the release of ‘Vultures 1’.
