After months of wrangling with Adidas and other lucrative partnerships, Kanye West is finally turning over a new leaf. His surprise appearance at Travis Scott’s Utopia Concert blew the fans away and reminded everyone of the mega-star he is. He didn’t just send shockwaves to the earth’s core with his magnetism, but also dropped a hint for his upcoming project! During the concert, the ‘Graduation’ star blurted out an update saying “ALBUM COMING SOON MAN, OCTOBER”. This announcement sent the fans into a frenzy as they eagerly anticipated Ye’s musical comeback.

Talking about his musical comeback, multiple songs from the 15-year-old ‘Graduation’ album are currently climbing the charts. The album was a blockbuster in the 200os that reintroduced conventional rap/hip-hop to the masses. The impact of this timeless album is still alive and kicking, causing a stir in Spotify’s global chart once again!

Kanye West’s Graduation still creating buzz after 15 years

Ye and Detroit R&B singer Dwele’s song ‘Flashing Lights’ received a whopping 1 million+ streams and made a cut to the global Spotify chart, reported by chart data. Being one of the best songs in the timeless album ‘Graduation,’ it was a chartbuster back then. The album won several accolades, including the AMA favorite rap/hip-hop album award and Grammy, after its release and remains a classic for West’s fans. What we can gauge from the Spotify update, the song hasn’t lost its charm even after 15 years! 

It would seem Spotify’s decision seemed to have worked for them, as many of Ye’s chartbusters are creating a buzz on the music streaming platform.

Notably, Spotify stood by Ye even during all the chaos ignited by his controversial remarks and stances. When asked by Reuters whether the platform will remove Ye’s songs after the anti-Semitic controversy that had experts drawing parallels between him and a French activist, Spotify chief Daniel Ek confirmed that they will not unless the label requested it since Ye’s songs have not violated any of its policies. 

And now, after witnessing the fans’ overwhelming love for the artist on Spotify, it is certain that Ye’s upcoming album will be another smash hit. Adding to the existing hype was the rapper’s producer’s insights into the album.

Upon further questioning about ‘Donda 2’, the producer confirmed that the album is still on hold. These revelations further turned up the heat around Ye’s upcoming album!
