Kanye West has landed his fourth straight #1 album, as his latest release My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has landed at the top of Billboard's Top 200 Chart this week.
According to Nielsen SoundScan data, West moved 496,000 copies of his latest release, besting the rap star's previous offering 808s & Heartbreak, which moved about 450,000 copies during its first week on the stores in 2008.
West's 496,000 units also give the eclectic rap star the fourth-biggest first week opener of 2010.

Young Money's latest artist Nicki Manaj landed in second place, moving over 375,000 copies of her album Pink Friday, putting her in the pantheon of rap royalty.
Nicki's 375,000 units is the second-best opening week for a female rapper in BillboardOnly Lauryn Hill has done better, when she sold 423,000 of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998.
Even though Kanye is a jerk and people have yet to forgive him for what he did to Taylor Swift he still has a popular fan base that will support him no matter what. I have yet to hear the album myself but according to D.J. Deeboy he says that the album goes hard. Maybe I will take the time to listen to it so I can give me real opinion about it.
Nicki Nicki Nicki.........many people have been waiting on this album for a long time. Its finally here and it did pretty good making #2 much Nicki states herself that she is proud of the album sells. Pink Friday goes hard, I can't take it out my CD player..........I didn't wasn't expecting the CD to be that good but it really is now I can't to see or hear what Nicki gives us now.
So if u haven't went out and brought Kayne's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Nicki's Pink Friday please go do so now you will be pleased.
