My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Album


This album was published in 2010, There are lots of different designs to this album. This could be a good thing because people might love the album and try and get the collection of them. This is good because if there are 4 different designs then people might have to buy the album 4 times to collect them, this would be good for the produces and the artist. There were 496,000 copies in its first week in the United States! It then went on to sell 1,212,000 copies in the United States as of October 2011. The Two record labels are Roc-A-Fella and also Def Jam. I recomend people to buy this album!
