Say this about Kanye West: dude walks it like he talks it. After all the tweets, he delivers the sweets with his fifth album in six years, debuting at #1 on the sales chart, for a first-week total of 519k.

Highly touted newcomer Nicki Minaj lands one of the highest first-week sales for a female DJ ever, with 371k for her debut, Pink Friday, at #2.

Country princess Taylor Swift’s Speak Now climbs to #3 selling another 255k, followed by Columbia’s 1-2 Simon Cowell combination of Susan Boyle at #4 with The Gift (250k) and Jackie Evancho at #5 with O Holy Night (150k) round out the top of the chart.

Other debuts of note include Ne-Yo's Libra Scale at #8 (117k), My Chemical Romance's Danger Days at #9 (112k) and Ke$ha's Cannibal at #15 (72k).
