June 26, 201311 yr Debuts at #1 on the Billboard album chart, selling 327,000 copies in its first week. Also makes it Kanye's 6th #1 album on the chart.
June 29, 201311 yr A video is in the works for the "Yeezus" track, which is being served to DJs now. Kanye West's "Yeezus" will get some promotion after all. After a fiercely guarded release with no singles or videos, West's latest album will service an official radio single: "Black Skinhead," a clean version of which is being released to DJs. A video for the track is also in the works, Def Jam confirmed to Billboard. The video release and the track's radio impact date will coincide, likely in time for the 4th of July holiday. Previously, West purposefully avoided a full-court press for the album roll-out. "I have this new strategy, it's called no strategy," he said at a New York listening session. Instead, he performed on "Saturday Night Live," tracks from the album were played with video projections around the world and he conducted several advance interviews, including a sit-down with the New York Times. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...t-yeezus-single xuhl6Ji5zHM
July 1, 201311 yr :D Knew he couldn't resist releasing a single in the end. A great choice, since it seems to be taking off quite well (Top 40 on the UK singles chart already).
August 23, 201311 yr Would have preferred New Slaves or Blood on the Leaves but this is very close behind. The most radio friendly of the lot too, not that it'll make any difference.
