Kanye West.

Did you know that only one of Kanye West’s studio missed the top spot of the Billboard 200?

The only studio album put forward by West that didn’t land at #1 on the Billboard 200 was his debut effort,  ‘The College Dropout’, which was released in 2004 and peaked at #2. Following that LP, all 4 of rapper’s other solo studio albums have claimed the top slot on the chart.

Even West’s ‘Watch the Throne’ collaborative album with Jay-Z landed atop the Billboard 200. Additionally, between that project and his own ‘My Beautiful Dark twisted Fantasy’ West won 4 trophies at the 2012 Grammy Awards, thus increasing his career total to 18 accolades.

Watch the video for West’s first #1 single on the Hot 100, ‘Gold Digger (Ft. Jamie Foxx)’, below:
