After several delays, Kanye released his new album “Jesus Is King” to the well warmed-up audience and it seems to be going well for him.
Even if not all critics and fans are satisfied with his work, it is being sold fast and it is expected to top the Billboard 200 next week with his 276,000 certified units purchased in its first week. This will make Kanye the second artist in the US charts history who has 9 consecutive No.1 albums. So far, the only one who had this achievement was Eminem.
