Kanye Ready to Take the Number One Spot

*Susan Boyle has come a long way from her interesting days on reality television to being number one on pop charts in America.

Sorry Susan, but Crazy Kanye (West) is ready to make a change and knock the U.K. singer from her spot. West’s fifth studio album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is expected to sell over 500,000 by the end of the week.

Boyle’s “The Gift” is leading charts with 335,000 sales.

“Fantasy” would mark West’s fourth consecutive album, following “Late Registration” (2005), “Graduation” (2007) and “808s & Heartbreak” (2008). The latter began with 450,000 and also was released over Thanksgiving week. His 2004 debut “The College Dropout,” peaked at No. 2.

Nicki Minaj also made a big impact with her debut album, “Pink Friday” which sold nearly 400,000 copies.
