Tyler, the Creator’s new era is already off to a strong start, as the rapper’s “Noid” storms onto Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (dated Nov. 2) at No. 9, despite partial availability for the chart’s tracking week. The song was released Monday, Oct. 21, allowing for roughly four days of eligibility for the streaming, sales and airplay-based chart’s latest cycle, which ran Oct. 18 – 24.
For the tracking week, “Noid,” released on Columbia Records, registered 10.5 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, sparking its No. 6 debut on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart. Streaming powers virtually all the song’s activity for its Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart debut, with a negligible number of download sales and minimal radio airplay.
“Noid” adds a fourth top 10 to Tyler, the Creator’s account on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. He previously reached the region with the No. 5-peaking “Earfquake” in 2019, a No. 6 hit in 2021’s “Wusyaname,” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Ty Dolla $ign and again earned a No. 5 best when he and 21 Savage featured on Pharrell Williams’ “Cash In Cash Out” in 2022.
Elsewhere, “Noid” begins at No. 6 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and at No. 43 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
“Noid” appears on Tyler, the Creator’s new album, Chromakopia. Like its first offering, the album arrived off cycle, reaching consumers on Monday, Oct. 28, and thus will compete with an abbreviated window for Billboard’s album charts for the Oct. 25 – 31 tracking week. Chromakopia is the artist’s first project since 2021’s Call Me If You Get Lost, which became his second consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and his fifth career leader on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
