Tyler The Creator takes the crown at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart as he reclaimed the spot.

The 31-year-old hitmaker is back on the lead spot because of the massive success of the Vinyl release of his hit 2021 album "Call Me If You Get Lost."

Currently, it is the album's second nonconsecutive week that the album sits on the top throne as it debuted at No. 1 on the Jul. 10, 2021 charts.

As per Luminate (via Billboard), "Call Me If You Get Lost" sold 59,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Apr. 21, which is an increase of 507%.

86.44% of the total album units (51,000) are all traditional album sales, almost entirely vinyl album sales.

The vinyl version of Call Me If You Get Lost is sold exclusively at Tyler the Creator's webstore, which reportedly earned 49,500 copies - making it the largest week of sales for a hip-hop album on vinyl.

Aside from this, it is also the largest sales week for a solo male album on Vinyl, Luminate confirmed.

Sold for $35 per standard black double-LP set, the Vinyl edition of the album was just announced last Apr. 6, unknown to fans when the ship out date would happen.

However, Tyler the Creator announced last Apr. 12 that buyers would eventually receive on Apr. 15, the album's first tracking week.

"Call Me If You Get Lost" surpassed Kid Cudi's mark of 41,500 on the largest vinyl album sales, with 41,500 units sold last December.

However, it failed to best Taylor Swift, who is this year's ambassador of Record Store Day, on her massive re-release of "Red (Taylor's Version)," who sold 114,000 vinyl LPs last November 2021.

With "Call Me If You Get Lost" jumping back to the top spot, it pushed Lil Durk's "7220" to the third spot, trailing behind Morgan Wallen's "Dangerous: The Double Album" at No. 2

The hit Disney Album dips one spot lower now on No. 4, while Olivia Rodrigo's GRAMMY-winning album "SOUR" holds the No. 5 spot pretty solidly for the past few weeks and Drake's "Certified Lover Boy" at a steady No. 6.

Taking the No. 7 spot is Doja Cat's "Planet Her" with "The Weeknd: The Highlights" catapulted back to No. 8 from No. 60, following his massive Coachella headline act.

Gunna's "DS4EVER" also climbed again at No. 9 with Lil Baby at No. 10, as the latter rapper also became one of the twelve artists who had 100 hits on the Billboard 100 charts.
