Kanye West scores UK number one album with Yeezus

Kanye West celebrated his first UK number one album since 2007 over the weekend, with recent effort Yeezus topping the charts.

The release, which only came out on Tuesday and is still largely unavailable physically in some stores, knocked Black Sabbath from the top spot – after their comeback LP 13 made it to number one last week.

It’s Kanye’s first chart-topper since Graduation, after predecessor My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy only made it to a modest #16 place. His collaborative Watch The Throne release with Jay-Z, however, did peak at #3 in 2011.

Listen to the album in full below. Kanye was also recently in the news for naming his first born child ‘North West’.
