Kanye West's divisive new Yeezus album has shot to No.1 on iTunes, despite having leaked online over the weekend.

The album was released today (18 June, 2013) and has shot straight to the top of the UK iTunes chart, knocking J.Cole's latest album Born Sinner from the top spot, where it had been since the start of the week.

Other big new entries in the iTunes chart include Kodaline at No.3 with their debut, In A Perfect World, Mac Miller at No.12 with his latest, Watching Movies With The Sound Off and Sigur Ros at No.13 with Kveikur.

Kanye's album sales success comes as no surprise to the rapper himself, who claims he gave 'no fucks' about the leak, saynig at a recent listening party in New York: "This album is all about giving. This whole process is all about giving no fucks at all."
