Tyler, The Creator is one of the most successful artists of his era. Since first hitting the scene in 2011, Tyler's eclectic style has won him fans the world over. His keen musicianship has also earned him numerous awards and accolades during a more than a decade-long career. However, there is one achievement the California native hadn't accomplished until recently, a top-selling vinyl album.
Chart Data reports that The Creator's album Call me If You Get Lost was the top-selling rap vinyl album worldwide in 2022. The news of Tyler's latest feat shouldn't exactly be surprising. The album, Tyler's sixth, was released in June of 2021. The project was a smash hit with fans and critics alike, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard 200. Moreover, the album earned Tyler his second Grammy Award for Best Album after 2020's Igor.
Tyler, The Creator Reaches a New Milestone
Meanwhile, Tyler's legions of fans will now have even more to smile about. He recently took to Twitter to announce that he was releasing a new Deluxe album, Estate Sale Deluxe. This new project includes eight tracks that didn't make the final cut. The 32-year-old explained that the original album was the first project in which a decent number of songs were left out. Tyler explained that the new version of the album will include eight tracks that didn't make the final cut. “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I MADE WITH ALOT OF SONGS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE FINAL CUT,” he wrote. “SOME OF THOSE SONGS I REALLY LOVE, AND KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, SO IVE DECIDED TO PUT A FEW OF THEM OUT.”
These are busy times for the New Magic Wand rapper. Earlier this week, he released videos for his songs "Hot Wind Blows" and "Heaven to Me." A third video, "Wharf Talk," featuring ASAP Rocky, dropped last week. The new videos show growth in style and maturity for a man who has been in the rap game since he was a teenager. Tyler is an artist who you never quite know what he is going to do next. But whatever it is, you can always expect him to bring his usual irreverent style into the project.
