Tyler, the Creator is in the middle of a huge year. Just weeks after delivering a new album, Don’t Tap the Glass – which itself arrived only months following Chromakopia hit No. 1 and earned him rave reviews – the rapper re-released Cherry Bomb on vinyl to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Fans snapped up the decade-old set in the U.K., and this frame, the project returns across the country’s charts — and in one case, it finally claims a crown.
Tyler, the Creator’s Cherry Bomb Reaches No. 1
Cherry Bomb reenters five U.K. tallies this week. The set returns at No. 1 on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart, and this moment marks its first stint in charge of the genre-focused roster.
Cherry Bomb also finds space on the Official Albums chart, the most important albums tally, at No. 32. On sales-focused lists, the project rebounds to No. 7 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings, and it spins back to No. 5 on the Official Vinyl Albums roster.
Tyler’s set hits new peaks on all but one roster, with the lone exception being the all-genre Official Albums chart, where Cherry Bomb’s peak remains No. 16.
Tyler, the Creator’s Cherry Bomb Ends a Long Wait
Cherry Bomb first appeared on the U.K.’s Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart in April 2015, when it opened at No. 2. The set matched that position in September 2020. Throughout the past decade, the set has spent just six weeks on the list.
Cherry Bomb hadn’t appeared on the ranking in almost five years. Now it returns from out of nowhere at No. 1 and becomes Tyler’s latest winner.
Tyler, the Creator Adds a Fourth No. 1 Album
As Cherry Bomb crowns the hip-hop list, Tyler collects a fourth No. 1 on the ranking. Cherry Bomb joins Don’t Tap the Glass, Igor, and Chromakopia. Two of those projects hit the top spot in a matter of weeks, as Don’t Tap the Glass debuted at No. 1 about a month ago, and is back on the same roster this frame.
Tyler, the Creator’s Catalog Fills the Hip-Hop Tally

Don’t Tap the Glass returns at No. 39, in second-to-last place.
