Kanye West 'Yeezus' Goes Through Fourth-Biggest Second-Week Sales Drop In Soundscan Era

Apparently, fans aren't to interesting in hearing the good news about Yeezus. After the tightly maintained air of mystery surrounding the album dissapated, fans found a challenging album with no apparent radio-friendly songs. All of this lead Yeezus to experience the fourth largest second-week drop off for a number 1 album in the SoundScan era.

Via Billboard:

Kanye West's "Yeezus," falls by 80% to No. 3 -- the largest second-week percentage drop for a No. 1-debuting album in over a year. It sold 65,000 in its sophomore frame. A week ago it bowed with 327,000.

That drop puts it behind Madonna's MDNA (86.7%), Lady Gaga's Born This Way (84.2%) and Mac Miller's Blue Slide Park (82.5%). 

Jay-Z's Kingdom Come rounds out the top 5 with a  79.4% drop.

Madonna's drop-off was largely due to a first week CD/ticket bundle deal, while the others dropped organically.

Kanye should expect a sales bump, however. He recently announced that "Black Skinhead" will hit radios soon as the album's first single.
