Kanye Makes Sales Drop History

It seems that what the streets are saying about Kanye West’s latest album “Yeezus” which dropped on June 18th has been confirmed by SoundScan.

Word is the album is lackluster and many true hip hop aficionado’s are disappointed in Kanye’s latest effort.

Kanye made history for having the largest second-week sales drop for any Number 1 debut album since 1991!

It is not only Americans who aren’t checking for “Yeezus” either, in the UK, Yeezus’s second week saw it drop 52%, from No 1 to No 6.

Paparazzi better give him 50 feet the next time he is out in public surely questions about this particular type of record-breaking will cause him to spazz out!

Story Below:

Despite an approving nod from Lou Reed, Kanye West‘s Yeezus has plunged in its second week on the US charts, sustaining the fourth-largest drop in the history of Nielsen SoundScan.

West’s sixth solo album was released on 18 June, debuting at No 1 both in America and the UK.

On 3 July, SoundScan reported that sales had dropped by 80% in its second week – the largest second-week sales drop for any No 1 since Madonna’s MDNA.

In other news, J.Cole is going to have the number one album of the country next week with sales over 60 000. And no, this ain't bullshit.

In the long run I think J.Cole will do the same numbers Cole World did; 700-800

Cole sold 83k and Kanye 65k? Damn
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Not surprised.
Yeezus is a weak album,one of Kanyes worst.
Jay z`s new album was average.

Two of Hip Hops best,didnt deliver.
Cry babies,maybe my way that i use words is loose

Cause feelings scar,but egos bruise worse
And the truth hurts,shit no wonder youre sore losers

Can't wait for him to rant about this.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?
