Before they enjoy similar success in their domestic market this week, Kanye West & J.Cole have found themselves dominating the British charts this week, soaring to the top with their respective albums!
Chart check below…
Thanks to an extensive promo campaign that saw him bypass radio and take the album straight to the masses, Kanye West has topped the Official UK Album chart this week, watching the hype for the album in the US spill overseas via the internet to take him there.
Marking his second #1 in the nation following 2007’s ‘Graduation‘, the album hit #1 on both the overall and Urban chart, dethroning Rihanna‘s ever thriving ‘Unapologetic’ from #1 on the latter, while blocking J.Cole‘s ‘Born Sinner‘ from occupying, forcing that masterpiece to #2.
On the overall tally (where all genres can be found), ‘Sinner’ sits at #7, joining West in watching the US momentum for his project catch the ears (and wallets) of British consumers.
Meanwhile, Jason Derulo‘s ‘The Other Side’ debuts at #2- stopped from chart supremacy by Robin Thicke‘s ‘Blurred Lines’, while Kelly Rowland‘s new LP ‘Talk A Good Game‘ peaks at #7 on Urban as Adele‘s ‘21‘ rises on the overall chart- rising to #65 after spending last week at #71.
Well done to all!
C’mon kelly 🙁
Deen*
At least she sits at #7 on r and b charts! That’s better than nothing! The UK just isnt feeling R and B just like the US!

Well done J.Cole, best rap album since GKMC!
Lol Kelly i love u but i can’t give you my coins because i wasn’t impressed with your new material sorry
And j.col is overrated
But kanye album is amazing
lol
I think u meant to say kanye is overrated. JCole is that dude
Kelly been in the game longer than these two gentlemen yet shes not even guna see 50% of what these to men are about to sell smh i guess if your not Rihanna & Beyonce these days your destined to flop 🙁
Congrats Kayne for dethroning the queen, Jcole’s album is really good too!
A demon post on a Sunday??
Yet you stan for Beyonce dont you? Your used to demon post
Did you not know Beyonce & Rihanna are demons aswell I mean just look at Jay z clique sweetie smh #DumbHoe
Hello! Finally some intelligent people on this board.
The whole album is demonic to me . I only listen
to one of his song and turn it off. Kelly Rowland
and J Cole albums were much better. He is
only getting publicity because he is dating
Kim , and J- Z aye singed him to Roc Nation.
Exactly @Angela, I don’t even respond to the lost causes anymore. Devil aka Kanye got em…
If anyone was to dethrone Queen Rih im glad it would be King Kanye congrats man
i bet if someone else did it whp wasn’t one of your favs you would be on here on a hating tantrum sigh.
On the R&B/Hip Hop chart?
That picture -___-
Where’s Kelly? why aren’t any major news outlets/blogs talking about kelly?
Im not here for Kanye and his gimmicks this era no matter how much he sells.
Give Kelly promo Sam s*** she needs it not j.col or kanye…. smh i see no Kelly promo on here but you have stupid ciara promo on this site smh get it together.
He always gives Kelly promo.
Dont blame Sam b.c Kelly’s team is not doing their job. Sam aint on her payroll
Unfortunaely, my girl CiCI will flop to . Her team is HORRBLE.
welldone all..um just waiting for those numbers though.
Kelly can’t when. I blame bad promotion.
Its win sweetie… Oh how the school systems have failed.
Got that together. HA!
Kelly is doing bad… I thought she was big in the UK?
At least she sits at #7 on r and b charts! That’s better than nothing! The UK just isnt feeling R and B just like the US!
Go J.Cole beat kangay!
Well done J Cole
Anyone can overshadow Kelly Rowland sad but true
Yeah any freaken rap artist! R AND B JUST CANT WIN IN GENERAL US OR OVERSEAS!
Kelly can’t win
I got all three albums, so far listened iv listened to Kelly Rowlands, and that is on point, as u can that was a flawless performance, and the best is yet to come.. KElly, KAnye and J cole all deserve ratings (not so much j cole, he’s just standard nothing authentic about his style.) eat s*** haters!
Lmao @ Samantha.
Kelly is #7 on the UK urban chart?
Does that mean that she missed the top100 all together on the regular chart?
Congrats to king yeezus.
No single
No video
Only 1 performance in the whole world
And still debuts #1.
Ur fav can never…. lol
At least she sits at #7 on r and b charts! That’s better than nothing! The UK just isnt feeling R and B just like the US!
Good question..I see her nowhere on the regular chart!
Dang…why cant she sell?!
According to Kelly stans they claim Kelly has a strong fan base in the UK hmmm looks like that’s LIE.
That’s cause these so called fans didn’t get her album.. I never really liked kelly.. But my friend told me that the album was good.. So I went and got the album and it’s truly is here best work to date.. It should be the best r&b album of the year.. I can’t get any of the songs out of my head.. Out of 17 song I would say I don’t like 1… You can play the whole album with skipping songs… Kelly fans is wack.. Real fans woulda got 2 or 3 copy’s and gave to friends and family’s like I did.
Yess Yeezus, no single, no cover, no airplay, no promo except for SNL.
J. Cold stans saying this is the album of the year. If so why is every hip hop site + the general public siding with Kanye? Born Sinner has a lower Metacritic score than Mac f****** Miller, explain that?
LOL @ Kelly.
Sam is a bitter queen because his beloved Kelly debuted at #80 on the main chart. He deleted my comment. What a soft little b**** you are! LOL!!!!
Truth is: Kelly is a low budget shadow and nobody is here for her.
I purchased both Kanyes and J coles album. Have to say Born sinner was a A LOT better. Well done to them both
