MySpace Music continues to stream entire albums before their release date, unleashing Kanye West’s full 808s & Heartbreak three days before it goes on sale on November 24th. According to MySpace’s fancy artwork they made for the occasion, the album is incorrectly entitled 808s and Heartbreaks, but we’ll cut the new music service some slack since they’re letting everyone listen to the album early. 808s will be hard-pressed to repeat the massive success Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy album stream had yesterday on the site. According to NME, Axl Rose’s MySpace page lured over 3 million listens yesterday, with the title track single-handedly played over 826,000 times. MySpace Music wouldn’t confirm any figures. If that number is correct, it breaks down mathematically to 25 plays per second yesterday. If your computer speakers aren’t capturing the true bombast of Chinese Democracy, the album hits Best Buy shelves this Sunday, November 23rd.

most people are saying that it’s a failure…but there is still time. Right now it’s #75 on billboard. but if gnr start touring an putting out some videos and new singles…mabey things will change. Appetite didn’t do that great in the beginning. I think putting out that box set here in the US will help too.
