Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Record House Production ‘The College Dropout’ Hits 1.8 Billion Streams

It is the year of the comebacks for the Donda Academy owner, Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west]. Reigning with a whopping 24
Grammy awards over the years, Grammy labeled him as one of the highest-decorated
hip-hop artists, tied with Jay-Z. Moreover, the actor was rumored to be already
working on new music in Japan. An old friend and producer, Fya Man, revealed the
‘Runaway’ singer was busy in the intense writing process. In addition to Fya
Man’s inputs, sources close to Kanye leaked how the upcoming album was “Old Ye
but new with the time.” 

As the ‘Donda’ singer preps for his new upcoming album, his 2004 record breaker
resurfaced in the news. The album that pushed Ye into the limelight was The
College Dropout, which recently hit close to two billion streams. 


THE COLLEGE DROPOUT HITS ALMOST TWO BILLION STREAMS 

In an update posted on Twitter, the Yeezy owner hit 1.7 billion views for his
2004 album. The College Dropout was the second album on Ye’s shelf. In addition,
it was released in collaboration with Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records. And after 19
years of its release, it reached billions of views. The song with the highest
number of streams was close to the amount Yeezy made in sales after its 2023
comeback

‘All Falls Down’ topped with 462 million streams, followed by ‘Through the Wire’
at 260 million, and ‘Jesus Walks’ came a close third. The only other song in the
100 million plus streams category was ‘Slow Jamz’. The other twelve songs were
in the range of scooping 24 million to 83 million streams.

Surprisingly, one of the songs that get most talked about, ‘Graduation Day’, was
the lowest on the list, with 24 million streams on its belt. Owing to the hype,
the album also got its own Lego-format video game 20 years after its release.

While the Yeezy owner is making waves with his music, the rapper has his eyes on
the Presidential run again.


KANYE WEST AND BIANCA CENSORI IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Recent reports by The Sun hinted at Ye being sure about his 2024 presidential
run. While the rumors about him filing his candidature made rounds a while ago,
the recent news by a close source confirms his interest. They also cited him
staying low and keeping his head down. While Ye focused on his presidential
campaign, Dov Charney would help with the Yeezy business. On the other hand, his
wife Bianca Censori was recently bestowed with his legal and financial affairs.



Even more so, he was proud of his “intelligent, unorthodox” wife who would make
the perfect “perfect First Lady.” Although his 2020 run fell shot by millions of
votes, the ‘Donda’ singer was sure of getting tons of votes this time. If he
could handle the emotional divorce with ex-wife Kim Kardashian
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kim-kardashian/] and rise back up from a year
of controversies, the rapper believed he could do anything.
