The numbers are not favorable for Kanye West’s 7-track album Ye. The album is expected to stream only 175,000 times by Thursday. Of those streams, only 70,000 are expected to be paid downloads.
Kanye angered his mostly liberal fanbase when he expressed his support for President Donald Trump. The backlash continues as evidenced by the low numbers for his album, despite all seven tracks landing in the top 7 on Apple Music.
Just two of the tracks are in the top 50 on iTunes. But Ye is number 1.
Kanye was ecstatic over the fan support on social media when he dropped Ye on Friday. He thanked his followers for embracing his follow-up to 2016’s The Life of Pablo.
On his Twitter page, Kanye thanked “everybody that didn’t turn they back” on him. He also created a website that allows his followers to create their own versions of the Ye album cover — a picturesque view of the Teton Range which he snapped on his way to his album listening party in Wyoming on Thursday.
I feel so blessed. For everyone that didn't turn they back. I'm in tears right now. I love all of you pic.twitter.com/8jwIALBsDu

I know that is not Joe Budden standing in the back
Yeah I can’t and won’t buy this one…the last one I bought was My Dark Twisted Fantasy
#TEAMKANYE
Lol it looks like him
Not interested.
I’m still jammin’ to J. Cole’s K.O.D
Who listens to this crap?
?????? GOOD!!!!!! They must not have counted all the ones purchased by the White House staff yet. His friend can send out a tweet and change the whole game for Ye.
WORD.
I have no energy to even comment on this… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b8d95fc45776f484f6e3689d6df62f9dc01178daefb4e6cf6c217ded6eb1390.jpg

LMAO. Say it now.
Anyone who supports this man is a phucking idiot period!!!
#ditto
LMAO!!!!! LOVE IT!
that was my fav of Kanye…this was when he was in the Amber Rose era…
Is it wrong that I hope this Album fails? I mean go WOOD. Personally I’m over him, his memtal illness and all. Throw Kanye away.
damn i cant see him…but I do see 2 chains…
ummm…..not being funny or anything…but I cant remember nothing about the Life of Pablo album….like not even 1 song……damn….what is happening to Kanye?? All I can do is pray for him.
Old picture from back before the sinking
Good for him. Figured if the music was good people would still support it.
Welp ??
Sis!!
I saw this and thought of you! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8ca5cd73c819b8fc558b34f7fa6d89235788d5c006da22553d3fdcb00fb6bde0.jpg
Say word, still playing that too! J Cole is so underrated , definitely my fave in this new era of mumble incoherent rappers!
Yeah it was a solid album…All of theLights is my jam
aww hell…it aint??? looks like him to me!! lol
Lol??
Me too 2010 and I quit
I’m pretty sure the bulk of the idiots are White.
Not buying anything he releases is A CHOICE. Go ask kim for an allowance. She just got me for $200 worth of perfume she’ll let you hold a dollar.
Kanye thanked “everybody that didn’t turn they back” on him
…………………….
Turn they back?
With millions of dollars in the bank, you’d think the man could spend a few bucks for an English tutor.
#dobetter
I hate when Sandra twists numbers to fit her agenda. Every single metric shows Kanye with a smashing success so far. Here are the facts.
Over 100 million streams in the first 3 days.
Top 7 songs on Spotify AND iTunes.
#1 iTunes Album in 63 countries (!)
8th No 1 album tying Eminem
#1 Apple Music album in 83 countries
These are just the stats from off the top of my head.
He probably peaked in 2008 with “Heartless”. It’s been all downhill since then.
Good!!! *in my evil voice*
Man that’s him! LNBAO
This my good good sis Japanese face doll!!!
Hmm ?
“F Kanye!” – Me
Every dollar he gets the white whores win. That’s a no for me dawg!
Never paid a dime to Koonye Kardashian.
The music is trash. My brain dead nephews fierce Ye stans,
don’t even like it.
ITA brain dead zombies.
Compared to the other “big rappers” this almost a flop probably won’t even outsell Cardi
Who memorizes stats about kanye except kanye? lol. Why would SR lie when she + kanye are both maga fans?
Me too!
Damn it only has 7 songs he couldn’t do better…. Wonder if Trump and his other rascist friends supported him.
Not interested! I guess is Trump fan base came to TRY to save himself #byeKoonye
Yes!!! I play that everyday. Can’t get enough. Brackets slowly grew on me now it’s one of my favs ??
He is A disgrace to all African Americans alive.
all 7 songs was trash. straight cheeks !!!
What perfume is that?
Lyrics are poo. Must be his white fanbase and his Kardashian sisters still buying into this bullshi t. The same ones buying his concert tickets, etc.
He’s educated but has to speak/type like he isn’t. But when he has his Kardashian California accent on, best believe his English is perfect.
Eau de DooDoo
On the radio, I sometimes hear “All Falls Down”, “Through the Wire”, and a couple of his other songs from last decade, but I’ve never heard any song from that Life of Poo album on the radio.
He’s exploiting the sh it out of that mental illness. First his wife goes around saying ppl shouldn’t be throwing out the “mental illness” title, no he’s the spokesman for it smh
People Kanye pissed off that cost him his numbers:
1. Ancestors,
2. Slaves,
3. Black People around the world,
4. People who have real mental illnesses,
5. The families and caregivers of people who have real mental illnesses,
6. Black women,
7. People really addicted to opiates,
8. Whitney Houston fans in and out of the music industry,
who else can we add?
This is the best comment of the day!!!???
I’ve sure all the white people who are direct descendants of slave owners will purchase his album in appreciation of the voluntary slave labor our ancestors gave to help whites build wealth.
I’m sure all opiate and heroine addicts the gobment is giving rehab instead of prison time will purchase his album.
The boys down South with confederate flags, especially the families of the white men and women who held a 9 yr old boy, his family and friends hostage at his bday party, threatening to kill them will buy his album.
Let THEM support him.
When he’s in the zone he sounds like a high pitched white woman.
Crystal gardenia and Body
I heard the single this morning on the radio by default and its crap!
Not anymore than they did Omarosa!
His mother was chair of the English department at a university. He knows better. He’s showing what he thinks of his fans by dumbing himself down.
Well, he didn’t did the numbers of like a J. Cole did!
He deliberately made it a short album and can add move tracks later!
But, bottom line he is number one, even selling sub-par which isn’t good for all the hype, listening party, and his musical super-star status!
People can spin the numbers, if they like, but they were considerably low as other media outlets reported the same SR!
Well, I’m pleased that he didn’t do J. Cole numbers in his first week sales!
When it’s about the music, all of his antics aren’t necessary! I know him and Kim are on their to the White House as president and First Lady…
SAD!
Stfu kanye ????
That was my favorite track off rip…I love K.O.D ????
White ppl who love black ppl
Oh ok I’m not supporting her I never have
Not supporting her
Let’s see how many REPUBLICAN TRUMP SUPPORTERS BUY THIS CD…Let’s see how much Trump and his MINIONS love KANYE.
yep missed that one!
Kanye West actually had over 100 million streams in 3 days and he was #1 in 83 countries.
