It’s Official: Kanye West's 'Yeezus' Sells 327,000, Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

West's sixth No. 1 album ties him for the second-most No. 1s among rap acts in history. His sum is equal to Eminem and Nas. Only Jay-Z has more No. 1s -- 12.

The full top 10 of the new Billboard 200 will be revealed on June 26.

With 327,000 sold, "Yeezus" also earns the third-largest sales week this year. Ahead of it are the debuts of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (968,000) and Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" (339,000). 

However, "Yeezus" also tallies West's lowest sales debut yet. All of his previous efforts have bowed with a debut north of 400,000. Until now, his smallest solo start was logged by "The College Dropout," with 441,000.

On the Friday before its release (June 14), industry sources had forecast "Yeezus" to sell perhaps 500,000 in its first week. Those projections were scaled back the day after it went on sale (19) to 360,000 and 380,000. By last Friday (21), "Yeezus'" forecast fell to 330,000 and 340,000.
