also check the last week's chart here

Kanye West "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", which was crowned Pitchfork's "Best New Music" with an amazing 10.0 review, reached only #14 in this chart. US Rap/Hip-hop is one of the most popular genre here but Kanye is not that popular compared to his popularity in the rest of the key music markets. On the other hand, Black Eyed Peas has well done really. They even successfully managed to get in Top 10 all Japan album chart, which covers both domestic and international releases. For your information, they headlined one of two biggest festivals Summer Sonic few years ago and I think their popularity remains high regarding this week's chart.
