Kanye's Album Hit a Huge Streaming Music Milestone

Kanye West has finally achieved a crowning victory in the long, confusing rollout of his 7th solo LP, The Life of Pablo. The album is debuting atop the Billboard Top 200, mostly on the back of millions of streams rather than traditional CD or digital download sales.

To briefly summarize Pablo’s winding journey to the top of the charts: Kanye released a work-in-progress version of the album exclusively on Tidal in mid-February.
