The big talk was Yeezy vs. Cole, with Ye prevailing by just a few thousand, but Mac Miller definitely held his own as well! Congrats to all! Kelly Rowland also had an album debut on the charts, coming in just behind the guys at number 4. Get the full top 10 list below.
Kanye West Beats Out J. Cole For Number 1….In The UK
The big talk of the music world is who will prevail in the Kanye West vs. J. Cole first-week-sales battle (with Yeezus and Born Sinner, respectively) and if the UK’s results are any indication, Yeezy is going to come out on top! [PAUSE!] However, the numbers are nowhere near what they’ll be looking at in the U.S…doing just 25k (for Yeezus) and 12k (for Born Sinner..putting him in at #7), as opposed to the six figure numbers they’re on track to do here. No word on what Mac Miller did there, but he didn’t make the top 10. Late tomorrow we’ll have the final results for the U.S. sales. Who ya got at number one?!
