    For Kanye it does. He's not a single-driven artist but its a fact that when his singles perform good he has higher first week sales and the more his albums sell in total.

    Don't see how a Kanye album with a mulit-week #1 is gonna sell less than a Kanye album with no Top 10s. You're crazy if you don't think singles effect album sales.



    Delusional how? What's hyping up this album? GOOD Friday leaks? Lmao. Be serious. 500k max, and that's being generous.

    Kanye is an established artist with 10 plus grammys who as sold 500k in a week a couple times . This is Nicki's first project . I know you like Nicki but come on be real she is not on the same level. Like comparing Lebron James and Sue Bird . They play the same sports but its looks totally different.

    Doesn't Jay have like only 1 number 1 song but has the most number albums as a solo artist. Fans buy complete albums. Good songs get downloaded .

    truth.com..... Some artist dont need Number 1 singles.... Plus Kanye ALWAYS changes the sound of Hip Hop when he drops for the simple fact he does what nobody is doing when he drops..... I think its gonna take Kanye to get killed or die for ppl to truly appreciated what he has done for Hip Hop and Pop culture over all....

    This dude was able to make Jamie Foxx get respected as a singer once he put him on "Slow Jams" . Everyone knew Jamie could sing but never respected him , As soon as he hooked up with Kanye the music demanded respect.

    Girl, Kanye just shut down 4 National TV stations on some Michael Jackson ? for this album, you would be silly to think Nicki Minaj coud even compete with that kind of promotion
    1. I'm not a girl. You should be calling yourself that due to how you're swinging from Kanye's ? right now.
    2. 4 national TV stations.... and? Beyonce's video with Lady GaGa premiered on TV in 50+ country simulaneously and still flopped. Singles don't affect album sales but TV specials a month before do? Lmao... even crackheads know logic is pathetic.

    I wasn't comparing him to Nicki. Who was even talking about Nicki anymore? I been said that'd he's gonna outsell her...he's just not gonna do 650k first week or whatever ? everyone on this board is saying. Less than 5 weeks..y'all will see.

    And that #1 song helped that album to sell 2 million copies. Something Jay hasn't done in how long?? 7 years now? Thanks for proving my point that successful singles DO boost album sales.

    Come on get real Jay-Z been selling records for a decade plus. Singles dont guarantee sales a complete project helps you way more than singles .

    I agree with everything except the bolded. GTFOHWTBS!!! He may change the sound for the first few weeks when his album is out, but other than that, nothing really changes.

    Yeah, a decade ago...back when albums were selling crazy. Jay-Z's album sales declined along with the industry, but that single along with Run This Town gave his album a boost to 2 million.

    LOL @ you mad, namecalling and catching feelings over a man, just because I said he wouldn't sell Gold first week. You sound like a ? and a ? . Now stay on topic before I make you REAL mad.
