When it comes down to overall record sales from Kanye West, there’s no question whether expectations are always high, with notable milestones certain to be reached within a matter of weeks. The G.O.O.D. Music frontman’s most recent album Yeezus has finally reached a deserved 500,000 in total sales, taking him just slightly longer than J. Cole‘s impressive Born Sinner to reach the acclaimed gold status. The achievement arrives just over a week before West returns to the 2013 VMA Awards to provide his lead single “Black Skinhead,” which is set to be one of the most anticipated performances of the year.
