Tyler, The Creator Tops Kendrick Lamar And Drake With His New Album
The rapper dominates one genre-specific tally with tunes from the set, pushing his career total considerably higher thanks to his exciting new full-length.
Tyler, the Creator's Seven New Hits
Tyler claims seven spots on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart this frame. The tally ranks the 40 bestselling tracks in hip-hop, R&B, and rap, and currently, many of them come from Don't Tap the Glass. All seven of Tyler's current smashes debut this week, with only a few songs from the 10-track album failing to make the cut.
'Big Poe' with Pharrell and Sk8brd Opens Inside the Top 10
Among Tyler's seven new hits, 'Big Poe' with Pharrell and Sk8brd (who is, confusingly, also Pharell) is the highest debut. That collaboration is the only top 10 from the collection, as it launches at No. 9.
Two other tracks, 'Sucka Free' and 'Ring Ring Ring,' open inside the top 20, landing at Nos. 15 and 16, respectively. Other new arrivals include 'Stop Playing With Me,' 'Mommanem,' 'Don't Tap That Glass/Tweaking,' and 'Don't You Worry, Baby.'
Nearly One-Third of All His Career Wins
Throughout his career, Tyler has now sent 24 songs to the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. Nearly one-third of those placements are brand new this week.
Tyler dominates the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart this frame, claiming more hits than any other artist. Drake and Kendrick Lamar are currently tied for the second-most wins, with five apiece.
Several Smashes for Tyler, the Creator
Three tracks from Don't Tap the Glass also performed well enough to appear on the Official Singles chart, which ranks the 100 biggest tracks in the country regardless of genre. Each lead artist is only allowed to occupy three spaces on that list at any one time, and Tyler reaches that number easily.
'Big Poe' nearly breaks into the top 40, opening at No. 43, while 'Sugar on My Tongue' and 'Sucka Free' arrive at Nos. 46 and 58, respectively.

Top Trump and his Tartantastic Turnberry Golf Triumph
Junior jinxed The Diary has been reporting on Donald Trump's magisterial visit to Scotland, where the great, the good and the genuflecting arrived at his Turnberry compound, then queued in a long line to ask the American President if he could recommend a decent sand wedge to use on the golf course. Or perhaps they were there to plead for a sympathetic tariff arrangement. Such abject grovelling reminds us of the arrangement at Diary Towers, where every morning our gang of craven reporters crawls on hands and knees into the Editor's office to have their orders for the day barked at them from across the Supreme Leader's desk. This can be a tad humiliating, as you can imagine, though it suits the Diary's 106-year-old copyboy, Junior, who can't walk upright any more, ever since that last operation when he got his knees replaced, his hips replaced, his ankle bones replaced and all of his spine. (We hear rumours that the surgeon who undertook the procedure gave the spine to his son as a birthday present, telling him it was a xylophone.) Gone are the days when Junior was a mere stripling of a lad, aged 105, and would scoot into the office on his skateboard. Still, there are many pleasures remaining to him, such as helping to compile the following classic tales from our archives… The Graduate We recall a prison English teacher who once asked if the class knew what a sentence was. Another teacher in East Ayrshire asked a pupil what his big brother, who she had previously taught, was doing. 'Six months,' came the replay. Spend, spend, spend A Hamilton T-shirt printers had a customer who requested a shirt made for his wife who had recently returned from New York, and a hefty credit card bill had ensued. He asked for a shirt with the usual "I Love NY" on the front, and on the back "Veni, Vidi, Visa", roughly translated as 'I came, I saw, I spent'. Petals and petting A reader was in an Edinburgh florist shop and spotted a chap ordering a large bouquet. The florist wrote down the message he wanted on the card, then thinking of a final flourish to add, asked: 'Will you want kisses?' 'I'll be expecting a lot more than that,' the chap replied. Brought to book We always assumed that an author signing a book added to its value for the reader. Not so in Glasgow's Waterstone's in Sauchiehall Street, where one of our correspondents watched as an elderly woman picked up a signed novel, only for her helpful friend to tell her: 'Don't get that one. Someone's written on it.' Cutting comment 'He must be great at his job,' said a young lad staring in the window of a key- cutting shop in Glasgow. 'Look at all the trophies he's got.'
