Tyler, The Creator is proving that unconventional moves can pay off in extraordinary ways. Despite initial skepticism when CHROMAKOPIA dropped on a Monday—an unusual release day in the music industry—the album has become his most successful project to date. Now spending its third consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, CHROMAKOPIA has officially cemented itself as the longest-running chart-topper of Tyler’s career.
In fact, according to Billboard and Luminate, the album earned 104,000 album-equivalent units in the week ending November 14th, driven primarily by streaming, with physical sales and exclusive box sets adding a significant boost. Previously, Tyler’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST held the top spot for two separate weeks in 2021 and 2022. But with CHROMAKOPIA, the Hawthorne native has reached an impressive milestone, further solidifying his place as one of hip-hop’s most innovative and commercially successful artists.
An Impressive Live Debut At Camp Flog Gnaw
Adding to the album’s momentum, Tyler debuted tracks from CHROMAKOPIA during the opening night of his Camp Flog Gnaw carnival at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on November 16th. Performing in front of a massive audience, Tyler delivered a polished, high-energy setlist-driven performance that showcased the new project in full stage production glory. The night was packed with surprises, including appearances by Doechii, Daniel Caesar, ScHoolboy Q, and a memorable moment with Sexyy Red during a twerk-off for the fan-favorite single, “Sticky”.
The recent performance wasn’t just a concert; it was a celebration of Tyler’s artistry and the vibrant world he’s built around CHROMAKOPIA. It’s clear that this era holds special significance for him, as he’s expressed his heartfelt gratitude to fans throughout the rollout.
Beyond The Charts
Tyler’s creative reach extends beyond his own album. He recently contributed a standout feature to Maxo Kream’s Personification, further highlighting his collaborative spirit and influence in the hip-hop world. If you haven’t spun that project yet, now’s the time—it’s another testament to the genre’s innovative streak.
