Kanye West had no trouble scoring another #1 debut this week, as his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, opened at the top of the chart with 496,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The new album -- his fourth straight #1 -- is on par with West's 2008 album, 808s & Heartbreak, which moved 450,000 copies in its first week. However, is doesn't match the chart peak that he reached with 2007's Graduation, which also debuted at #1 after selling a whopping 957,000 copies. Meanwhile, female Rapper Nicki Minaj finally dropped her debut, Pink Friday, which also had a very respectable showing as it bowed at #2 with 375,000 units sold. Minaj narrowly missed the record for the highest sales debut by a female rapper, falling a bit short of the mark set by Lauryn Hill in 1998 with The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, which moved 423,000 copies in its first week.
