Tyler, the Creator’s new album Call Me If You Get Lost is headed straight to the top of the charts. According to a prediction by Hits Daily Double, the album will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week.
It will be the former Odd Future frontman’s second consecutive album to debut at No. 1. In 2019, Tyler’s album Igor opened with 165,000 album-equivalent units. Call Me If You Get Lost is projected to earn 175,000 album equivalent units, with pure album sales from his sold-out box set adding to his overall total. If the “Lemonhead” rapper’s album does indeed rake in the projected amount, it will be his highest debut and the third consecutive week a hip hop album tops the Billboard 200. Polo G’s Hall of Fame, which is currently the No. 1 album in the country, replaced Lil Durk and Lil Baby’s Voice of The Heroes album in the top spot.
As of Sunday (June 27), 10 of the top 20 songs on Apple Music’s U.S. Top 100 are tracks from Call Me If You Get Lost. “Wusyaname,” which features Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Drama ad-libs is the No. 1 song on the chart. The revered album also features verses from Lil Wayne, Daisy World, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, 42 Dogg, Brent Faiyaz, Pharrell Williams and Domo Genesis among others.
In a recent interview with Complex, DJ Drama discussed the creation of Call Me If You Get Lost. “As you can see from Tyler’s tweet, he said 10 or 11 years ago that he wanted a fuckin’ Gangsta Grillz. So we’ve worked together in the past, and been cool and cordial through the years. Last summer, he reached out to me. He was like, ‘Yo, I got something. I got this idea,’” Drama explained. “And we talked it over. Initially he was going to send me the music, but we all decided that it’d be best if I just come out to LA and work on it directly. So I came out sometime last year. We just started the process of working on it and going over it and everything. It was a great experience working with Tyler, just really diving into his world and his brain on how he cut the music is super dope.”
