Jesus Is King continues a remarkable streak on the Billboard 200 for West. The set marks his record-tying ninth straight album to debut at No. 1; the entirety of his charting efforts from 2005 through 2019 have opened in the top slot. His only album to miss No. 1 was his debut effort, 2004’s The College Dropout, which debuted and peaked at No. 2.
Nine No. 1s in a Row: West and Eminem are also now tied for the most consecutive No. 1s on the Billboard 200. They are both ahead of the Beatles, which saw all eight of their charting efforts between 1965’s Beatles VI and 1968’s self-titled album (White Album) reach No. 1.
Sixth No. 1 of the Decade: Jesus Is King marks West’s sixth No. 1 in the 2010s, matching the number earned by both Future and Justin Bieber since 2010. Only Drake, with nine No. 1s this decade, has more.
Fifth-Biggest Streaming Week of 2019: Jesus Is King’s first-week SEA units totaled 151,000, which equates to 196.9 million on-demand audio streams for the 11 tracks on the album.
West’s Biggest Streaming Week Ever: With Jesus Is King launching with 196.9 million on-demand audio streams for its tracks, it surpasses West’s previous biggest streaming week, logged when Ye bowed with 180.1 million in 2018.
Second-Largest Sales Week of 2019 for an R&B/Hip-Hip Album: With 109,000 copies sold, Jesus Is King collects the second-biggest sales week of 2019 for an R&B/hip-hop album. King is second only to the debut frame of Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding, with 200,000 sold.

What an album name to top! Indeed, Hollywood IS bleeding...and Jesus IS King!
Definitely not my cup of tea, but then I am not the target audience.
Awesome. This must be driving the Godless party absolutely nuts. Needless to say the Goebbels media will be doing everything they can to censor him even though he has a #1.
Not my cup of tea either as far as the music goes, but I like the message. Anything that reverses the rot in our culture I’m in favor of.
Agree
Another example of our nation humbling themselves
May he be blest.
The satanic pedophiles and hedonists running Hollywood must be gnashing their teeth over this.
Not sure what is up with Kayne West, but it’s worth looking into.
“Curvine Brewington, a Louisiana pastor, praises rapper Kanye West after his last-minute “Sunday Service,” resulted in “over 1,000” people raising their hands to commit their lives to Christ. The pastor went so far as to call what happened a “new wave of revival.”3 hours ago”
