Stephen Colbert Operation Humble Kanye Succeeds (Kind-of)

On Tuesday Stephen Colbert told his viewers buy his new Christmas album to overtake "sunglasses display mannequin" Kanye West as the number one album on iTunes. Now this may have seem like a shameless ploy to earn more money but a percentage of the proceeds go to Feeding America. He told his viewers to buy his album on Wednesday at 5:00 pm, to dethrone Kanye from the top spot. He was able to pull ahead of Kanye for third place on iTunes Top Albums while Kanye was at number four on Thursday morning. I think Britney Spears had more of a job dehtroning but whatever. Right now Kanye West is a spot above him at number three. Below you can watch the original video of Stephen Colbert telling his viewers about Operation Humble Kanye.
