the maximum permitted by chart rules &#8211; from the new Kanye West album &#8220;ye&#8221;, which\u00a0\u00a0enters the album chart at number two. \u00a0Because Kanye West may be a star, but he&#8217;s still not the\u00a0<em>Greatest Showman<\/em> soundtrack album. \u00a0Plus, he&#8217;s spent much of the year alienating chunks of his audience, and this thing is a throwaway to boot.<\/p>\n<p>There are only seven tracks on the album &#8211; and it clocks in at only 23 minutes &#8211; so it would never exactly have swamped the chart the way some albums did before the rule change. \u00a0It&#8217;s part of a series of short albums produced by Kanye West which are being released on a weekly schedule; there&#8217;s another one this week where he collaborates with Kid Cudi.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it&#8217;s a bit of a rush job, and even the more positive reviews would agree that it&#8217;s not a high point in his discography (the most enthusiastic review I found still uses the words &#8220;pales in comparison&#8221;). \u00a0Of the three tracks that chart, &#8220;Ghost Town&#8221; is actually the strongest &#8211; it&#8217;s the heartfelt quasi-rock epic &#8211; but the public goes for &#8220;Yikes&#8221; and &#8220;All Mine&#8221;, which are nothing out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22. \u00a0The 1975 &#8211;

&#8220;Love Me&#8221; from the last album got to 20, after all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24. \u00a0AJ Tracey &amp; Not3s &#8211; &#8220;Butterflies&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pYbIVhYm8tc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>First top 40 hit for AJ Tracey, a London rapper who&#8217;s shown up in the lower reaches of the top 75 a few times before. \u00a0It&#8217;s a very 2018 tropical track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28. \u00a0Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B &#8211;

a combination that&#8217;s exactly as awkward as it sounds. \u00a0It&#8217;s got one of those videos where you round up some women of varying degrees of celebrity, point a camera at them, and wait for your gold star.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. \u00a05 Seconds of Summer &#8211;
