On April 6th, Kanye's latest album, Bully, just hit the Billboard 200 chart after selling 152,000 units in its first week. That brings down to 96,000 from streams and 56,000 from straight-up album sales. Solid numbers showing the Chicago legend still packs a punch. This marks a comeback for YAWay compared to his recent drops. As one moved, 148,000 units in week one, and Vultures 2 did 107,000. Bully's pulling ahead, proving he's rebounding strong. Fans are split on the project, some are calling it a masterpiece, straight-up emotional, and the best they've ever heard. But critics like pitchfork only gave it a 3.4, so not everyone's on board. Meanwhile, Kanye is making waves elsewhere and announced as a headliner for wireless festival in 2026. Right after, Pepsi pulled its sponsorship, though no one's confirmed, is directly because of his past comments. All this noise aside, Bully's debut proves YAWays got the world's eyes and ears locked

in. Controversy or not.
