It was a wild week of expectations for Kanye West. He was expecting to release his new album, Yeezus, on June 18. But before he could engulf himself in release week promo, the baby he was also expecting decided to come early. The album still released as scheduled, but sales expectations began to drop daily—from 500,000 on the eve of the album's release to 327,000. It is, however, enough to squeak out with the No. 1 title on Billboard.
