    beAting*

  2. snowman [Dec03] :

    ye does it again G.O.O.D. MUSIC stand up #1 woooooooooooooooooooooo

  3. G [Dec03] :

    WOW, I thought he would sell much more. I know she's popular but I never thought Taylor Swift would sell more than Kanye, GNR or the The Killers in first week sales. Her second week sales beat GNR and the Killers' first week.

  4. Kamaal Fareed [Dec03] :

    Naw, "besting" is right. And this is def. a solid debut for a radical album like 808s. The important thing is that he's number one and bigger than Guns 'n Roses! Eff a hater.

  5. Harles15 [Dec03] :

    there was never a doubt in my mind 808's would be #1 first week

  6. leroydaman3 [Dec03] :

    so yeah 450k in the first week...didn't other ppl demolish that this year???? and didn't he have an extra day???

  7. antoine [Dec03] :

    as if it was new...

  8. Larsson [Dec03] :

    Remember, if anyone else had done this album there would'nt be more than 1000 sold copies...

  11. louisthe14th [Dec03] :

    hmmmmmm great album sales compared to any other artist but for kanye he would have around 800-950 thousand by now but alot of ppl didnt buy the album cuz of the different style he used on it, but i bought it not expecting much but boy was i wrong, i was dope as f#@k.
