News of his forthcoming delivery may have seen him dominate many a headline, but this week has seen ‘Love Lockdown’ genius Kanye West soar much farther than the confines of the tabloids and the ever competitive UK charts.
Find out how British Hip Hop fans shown their gratitude to Mr. ‘GOOD’ below…
As it stands, iTunes UK’s Hip Hop chart crowns his ‘Clique‘ the King of the tally with a #1 position, while his Jay Z assisted ‘Paris‘ and ‘No Church In The Wild’ come in at #3 and #8 respectively.
In at #1 on the genre’s album chart is Biggie Smalls‘ posthumous ‘The Notorious B.I.G: Greatest Hits’, which features 17 of the Rapper’s most recognizable material, including 1994′s ‘Big Poppa’ and ’97′s ‘Hypnotize‘.
As far as the ladies go, Interscope‘s Azealia Banks holds court at #10 with ’212′ while Angel Haze‘s ‘New York’ occupies #23.
However, it’s ‘Masquerade‘ beauty Nicki Minaj who takes center stage with three releases on the album’s Top 100.
At present, her US #1 album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ comes in at #11, it’s follow up ‘The Re-Up’ sits pretty at #25 while her debut album ‘Pink Friday’ holds tight at #63, three years after its November 23d 2010 arrival.

Azealia’s a flop? She’s only 21 and has already had a major hit and created a big buzz.
When Nicki was 21 she was skint, working in red lobster, watching Lil Kim’s “Crush on You” video on repeat while eating ice cream.

Rihanna is an international superstar so I guess that’s why ppl don’t expect average sales from her….where as nicki well maybe it’s a different reaction coming from a rapper when she tops anything…not a lot of the female rappers have really been in her league as of lately.

if you are going to class Nicki as a rapper, then why arent you classing ke$ha as a rapper aswell?
by your logic, “tik tok” is the highest charting female rap single of this decade.

I cannot with this story… Dead.
Uk hip hop sells NOTHING. Leona got into the top 200 with like 600 copies….. Angel haze has never charted go figure the maths. Don’t bother stanning for nikki she’s probably selling about 1000 copies a week – its the UK! Awful reporting as usual

Well no because i’m not a singer – i decided to get an education and a job both of which have been very successful. Not everything revolves around popular culture and autotune…then again you wouldn’t understand that being a braindead nicki minaj fan who worships her success instead of carving out your own path. Id give you SOME credit if the music was actually worth it but lets face it the stuff she sings is a heap of money making trash – she knows it, we know it, we all know it! good luck with that “bitch”

Because Kesha has not made an impact on the urban community since the beginning of her career nor has she made it a goal to pursue rap seriously as her career even tho she may have some small raps in her music. And I’ve never heard her spit like nicki did back in her mixtapes. How many blacks really like Kesha??? Exactly.

In the meantime, Scream and Shout is currently #1 on the overall UK iTunes chart…y’know…the one that is actually RELEVANT, and people actually CARE about? Stay pressed, girl.

Wow, Ive been following Miss Haze for awhile now and I never thought I’d see her on the iTunes chart at #23. Congrats to her, the beef with Banks is the best thing thats happened for her. It was more effective than the BET Hip-Hop Awards cypher. Her New York EP slays, I recommend it to anyone looking for fresh new female MC talent. She has potential to be huge
