Release campaign
G.O.O.D. Summer 2018 (the Wyoming sessions)
Pitchfork (July 3, 2018) describes a sequence of five albums by Pusha-T, Ye, Kids See Ghosts, Nas and Teyana Taylor, produced by West during a retreat to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and released on consecutive Fridays beginning Memorial Day weekend. It reports that NASIR arrived nearly a day late, K.T.S.E. a day late with sample-clearance problems, and the Kids See Ghosts tracklist was mislabeled at release. Its quoted Def Jam press release claims four consecutive Top 5 debuts with ye at No. 1, and describes five 7-song albums, although K.T.S.E. has eight tracks.

Scope note: Chart claims are Def Jam's as quoted, not independently checked: the Billboard and Variety articles were paywalled and not read. Diamond Cross Ranch is not recorded: only a fan social post names it.
