Donda has the highest first-day streams for an album on both Apple Music and Spotify in 2021. It was West’s tenth straight chart-topper on the US Billboard 200, tying Eminem’s record. The Donda Stem Player was published in October 2021, enabling users to remix the songs and contribute new ones, and a deluxe edition was released on November 14.
The album featured contributions from Jay-Z, DaBaby, Andre 3000, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, Lil Baby, Baby Keem and more. The project is nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Rap Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
