Kanye West’s Donda album has another release date, accompanied by more rumors of delays, but at the same time, its second live event is on the Apple Music chart. On top of the list. Kanye West’s first live broadcast of Donda on Apple Music broke the record for streaming services and was watched by approximately 3.3 million people on July 22.
However, now, his second live broadcast on August 5 is said to have broken this record again with 5.4 million viewers. According to a report by Billboard, sources said that in addition to high ratings, West may have earned $7 million in revenue from merchandise sales.
The original live event was to release West’s 10th studio album Donda, but it did not appear. West himself didn’t appear at the event until nearly two hours later and then said nothing. Donda was thought to be released the next day, July 23. Then there was news that it was moved to August 6 and then moved to August 7.
According to reports, West was still working on the album at the time. Now, according to XXL magazine, this work may involve a few more steps than editing or mixing. A now-deleted tweet by the rapper Kaycyy who was working on Donda suggests that production has entered the next stage: We are moving to another location.
It seems that West is not only holding an Apple Music live event at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, he is actually producing albums there. At the same time, it is said that at least one song in Donda has been released on Russia’s Yandex music service. However, at the time of writing this report, it does not appear to have appeared yet.
