According to HitsDailyDouble, Kanye West’s critically acclaimed album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, will top Nicki Minaj’s much-anticipated debut CD, Pink Friday, on the charts next week.
West’s ‘Fantasy’ is expected to push over 500K units, while Nicki’s sales will hover around the 150K mark.
The buzz surrounding West’s 5th studio album reached a fever pitch when Rolling Stone magazine gave ‘Fantasy’ the equivalent of The Source magazine’s 5 mics in its review.
Still, Kanye’s best wasn’t good enough. As I reported earlier, country pop superstar Taylor Swift, 20, sold over 1 million copies of her album Speak Now in its first week.
This news won’t go over well with Kanye, 33, who considers himself to be on par with God, Michael Jackson and the Beatles — in that order.
I’ve yet to purchase either album, but i’ve heard mixed reviews for both. Hmmm… who do i spend the cash on???? lol
STFU SANDRA!!!!
@ Dee neither have your local library oder it then listen to it

I will be getting Kayne cd tomorrow! Yea buddy!
We need Redeemed in here to break down that dress. I know there is some hidden antichrist, 666, illuminati, new world order, eye of horus meaning/message in that thing…
@Al lol! i’ll pass on the free listening from the library. I’m sure they dont even have it in yet, lol.
its black friday week so those numbers could drastically change. kanye cd excellent and nicki is solid so they both pretty good purchases. but amazon has the digital download for kanye album for 3.99 cant beat it at that price
Kanye’s album is FIRE! I got it yesterday at Target for $8.99! Nicki’s isn’t that bad (to me) anyway…I’m jamming
I don’t see anywhere where it mentioned Nicki’s numbers, but even if she sells 150k, that’s an ok number for a new artist. I was expecting a little more, but hey, it is what it is
I, for one, am shocked.
@ Dee: shrug: they will order whatever you want though then you take it to the house burn and return Just sayin
Rolling Stone didn’t give Taylor Swift 5 stars
She will sell more cause kids listen to Taylor Swift…it’s parent “approved”…she still can’t sing in tune to save her life. #justsaying
@Al Lol, okay, I will keep this in mind next time i go to the library.
(*grabs pen and paper. starts jotting down album names.*)
no need to jot them down go to the library web site and make a list on the site then go pick then up when they tell you they are ready.
LEAP YEAR…WHERE YOU BEEN?
Was there ever any question…..??????!!!!!!! #imjussayin

I clearly recall someone cough*nicki*cough saying her album would sell a milli in the first week. But I could be wrong.
@renegade
LoL…Why are trying to take away all of Taylor’s accomplishments or better yet undermine them?? Let her be great. Just like you want Quincy to let Kanye be great…Sheesh
Either way they both have reached a level of success they may have never dreamed of……all this is trivial when you look at the bigger picture.
Noone thought that nikki would beat kayne , even me and i stan hard for nikki, just not realistic, further, i didnt know kayne and taylor was having a race, country ALWAYS sell riduculas numbers, hell a kenny chesy concert sold out in 8min, country folk support their own.
i was hoping that kayne would at least be 750k and nikki would at least do what drake did 400k…..
“West’s ‘Fantasy’ is expected to push over 500K units, while Nicki’s sales will hover around the 150K mark.”
This looks like a classic Auntie insert…
Pink Friday will do about as well as Drake’s Thank Me Later..around 400k the first week…and that’ll be on promotion alone…Platinum in 4 weeks.
Ye will most likely do more but that’s expected…..I’m thinking 500k week 1 and platinum in 3 weeks.
Her music is just like some Country …We may not like it…but us not liking it doesn’t mean it wont sell…
both CDs are great, but did anyone really expect nicki to push more cds than Kayne?
@QueenSJ
I was merely responding to Ms. Rose’s commentary. Taylor Swift writes beautiful and inspired songs, but she should have someone else sing them cause she sounds like a wet cat. That’s my opinion….I’m not an industry vet in an interview…just a CONSUMER WITH AN OPINION. Let my thoughts be great…sheesh!
dang sandra really has me thinking she is only going to sell 150k I hope it is far beyond that. I put a ton of $$ on this album. everytime i come to the site sandrarose.com my heart thumps at the thought of her doing poorly per SR. lol so im going to go with 400k first week
Oh no….Is that Christmas tree garland on that dress…or maybe it is pipe cleaners? Either way I am sure she left tinsel residue on her seat! This fashion thing is going too far!!!!!! :SMH:
