Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Album Download No. 1, Sells 518K
Written by HipHopRX Denise on December 1st, 2010 in CD Releases, Hip Hop, Music News, Kanye West, News.
Kanye West’s debut week for his ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album is #1 as he predicted. ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,’ his fifth studio album, which was released on November 22, 2010, managed to sell roughly 518,775 copies.
Although the album cover art became a controversial topic due to the nature of the artistic art and was banned from certain store outlets due to an armless winged phoenix (woman) visibly showing her breasts and derriere while straddling a painted Kanye West, it seems to not have hindered his sales.
As for special guests, the album ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ features the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Swizz Beatz, RZA, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Raekwon, Rick Ross, amongst others and almost all the production was by Kanye West in collaboration with a few other notable producers.
Meanwhile, as Kanye West stands at #1, female rapper Nicki Minaj falls into place in the #2 spot with 371,049 copies, as reported on www.HipHopRX.com, followed by country music star Taylor Swift who is still holding on for her album “Speak Now” released October 25, 2010.
In other news, Kanye West is working on a new album “Watch the Throne” in collaboration with rapper Jay-Z. The album “Watch the Throne” is expected to release sometime in 2011.

What an exciting hip hop music news story about Kanye West and his latest rap album debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 album charts. Kanye West`s new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sounds like a phenomenal rap album and is set to become an absolute smash hit and the biggest selling Kanye West album to date. I loved the Kanye West music videos released so far too for the singles they were innovative and unique and some of the most interesting rap & hip hop music videos out there and with some really hot collaborations on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy too I can see why this rap album has gone straight to number one.
