Ye’s album “BULLY” is on track to debut at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart next week, according to early predictions.

Initial tracking data from HITS Daily Double suggests the album will move around 117,000 units in its first week. This would place it just behind BTS’s “ARIRANG”, which currently holds the top spot.

Despite being an independent release without a traditional label marketing campaign, projections indicate that “BULLY” will stay within the anticipated range of 150,000 to 300,000 units for its initial run.

Though the album has received a middling critical reception, it has sparked notable streaming activity. Chart Data reported that the project garnered 33.2 million Spotify streams during its partial first day of release.

However, multimedia company Gamma disputed this, asserting that “BULLY” reached nearly 50 million streams in its first full day. If accurate, this milestone would solidify the album as the biggest hip-hop streaming debut of 2026.
