Resolution Criteria

The market resolves based on first-week sales for Kanye West's album 'BULLY,' scheduled for release on March 27, 2026. Resolution will use the "Activity" figure from the "HITS TOP 50" list at https://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming for the album's debut tracking week. If the album is delayed but released in 2026, the market will resolve based on the chart corresponding to the first full chart tracking week following the album's wide release. If the album has not been released by 2027, the market resolves N/A.

Background

BULLY is Kanye West's upcoming twelfth studio album. West began working on Bully following the release of Vultures 2 (2024) and announced the album in September 2024, originally planning to release it on June 15, 2025. The album was delayed to March 20 on January 28, 2026, coinciding with a deal with independent media company Gamma to distribute the album, and billboards promoting the album debuted around the United States on March 10, confirming the album's date to be March 27. West is set to embark on a world tour to support Bully from April to August 2026.

Considerations

West's choice to use AI was criticized, which he responded to by comparing it to Auto-Tune, a technology that faced similar backlash before becoming widely accepted in music. According to those in West's camp, West has apparently removed all AI deepfaked vocals and re-recorded them [though tracks on physical copies are still AI]. The album has experienced multiple delays throughout its development, so traders should monitor for any further postponements before the March 27 release date.
