Tyler, The Creator's "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST" has achieved yet another feat.

Tyler, The Creator's 2021 album, CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Additionally, it has achieved the unique feat of reaching No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in three different years (2021, 2022, and 2023). For its latest chart-topping ascent, the popularity was fueled by the release of a deluxe edition of the album, titled The Estate Sale.

Tyler released the original version of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST back in June 2021. The album featured collaborations with DJ Drama, 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, Pharrell Williams, and many more across its 16-song tracklist. The project debuted atop the Billboard 200 while moving 169,000 album-equivalent units.

As for The Estate Sale, Tyler shared the updated version last month. The new tracks feature appearances from Vince Staples, Madlib, A$AP Rocky, and YG. Further bringing more streams to Tyler's music, he recently performed at Coachella during Kali Uchis‘ set. The two ran through their collaboration, "See You Again," off of Tyler's Flower Boy album.

Last month, Tyler also appeared on the Hulu series RapCaviar Presents, during which he discussed his love for being a rapper. “I’m a rapper. I love that shit. It’s a beautiful thing,” he stated at the time. “We’re good with words. We’re good with rhythm. We know pockets. We hear a collection of sounds and one thing and say, ‘Ahh, I know what could go over this.’ That takes a skill. Hey, we know narrative. Ah, I know what you’re feeling. I know how to put those in words where you can understand yourself better. You got some young kid, like 13, thinking, ‘Oh, I gotta make bravado rap…’ No, you don’t. You could flex about the shit that you truly hold here and make it seem like the most important st. When I’m flexing on these songs, [it’s] just about the shit that I really like.”
