Kanye West, Nicki Minaj Storm US Billboard Album Chart

Kanye West is on course to top the US Billboard album chart with his new album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'.

The rapper's fifth LP is expected to sell more than 550,000 copies by week's end (November 28).

It will mark West's fourth number one album after 'Late Registration' (2005), 'Graduation' (2007) and '808s & Heartbreak' (2008).

In a strong week for new albums, Nicki Minaj is set to sell more than 400,000 copies of her debut 'Pink Friday', reports Billboard.

That could mark the best sales week for a female hip-hop artist since records began in 1991.

Ne-Yo's fourth album 'Libra Scale' is forecast to sell 125,000 copies, while My Chemical Romance's 'Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys' is set to sell 110,000.
