AceShowbiz - Ye has achieved his 13th No. 1 album on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as BULLY debuts at the summit on the chart dated April 11, 2026. The album, released through YZY/gamma., earned 152,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the tracking week from March 27 to April 2, according to data provided by Luminate.

BULLY was initially made available through physical retail outlets on March 27, followed by digital and streaming platforms on March 28. Streaming accounted for 96,000 of the album units, which equates to 98.43 million official on-demand streams of its tracks. Album sales contributed an additional 56,000 units, with track-equivalent units being minimal. For clarity, one album unit equals either one album sale, 10 individual track sales from that album, or 1,000 paid/subscription streams (or 2,500 ad-supported streams) of its songs.

With this latest chart-topper, Ye moves ahead of R. Kelly, claiming sole possession of fifth place for the most No. 1 albums on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart—a ranking that has been tracked since 1965. The all-time leaders include The Temptations with 17 No. 1s, followed by Drake and Future tied with 16 each, and JAY-Z with 14.
