*If you're fienin' for the new Kanye West CD, "808s & HEARTBREAK," and can't wait until it's released to the world on Monday, MySpace Music is where you need to be.
MySpace is where you can hear the exclusive premiere of Ye's much anticipated CD. Beginning on Friday at 12:01am PT, fans have been able to stream the album in its entirety for free on MySpace Music.
This official premiere comes days before the album hits stores on November 24. You can get in on the action at www.myspace.com/kanyewest.
"808s & HEARTBREAK," West’s fourth album, is set to follow the pace set by his first three #1 releases – 2004’s The College Dropout, 2005’s Late Registration and last year’s Graduation (released 9/11/07).
The first two albums generated a total of six Grammy Awards, including consecutive wins for Best Rap Album of 2004 and 2005, and Best Rap Song of 2004 (“Jesus Walks”) and 2005 (“Diamonds From Sierra Leone”). Graduation debuted at #1 on 956,936 first week sales, the biggest Soundscan debut by any album since Kanye’s own Late Registration two years before – and the biggest debut in Island Def Jam history. Graduation generated three Grammy Awards: Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song (“Good Life”), and Best Rap Solo Performance (“Stronger”).
West is the latest act to debut a CD on MySpace before its official release. Guns 'N Roses, Paul McCartney and Beyonce have all done the same. The Killers will do so on Saturday with their CD, "Day & Age."
It has become a regular practice to offer some kind of live stream of new CDs in the days before their release on one Web site.
