Ye, despite his history of getting industry backlash, has always been praised for his talent and creativity as a musician. And now achieving another milestone with his 2008 song ‘Heartless’, he received a whopping ten million sales. The song is now eligible for getting a diamond certification owing to the enormous sale. 

‘Heartless’ is from one of Ye’s hit albums ‘808s & Heartbreak’, which got a lot of attention because of the rapper’s break-up with Alexis Phifer. Ye also experimented with auto-tune in this album, which he believed was necessary to generate a sound that resonated with his heartbreak. The album received a great response from both fans and critics and also won the Urban Music Awards USA in 2009. As fans of the ‘I Wonder’ singer are finally seeing the stars align, the anticipation surrounding Ye’s upcoming album has only mounted up.
