20 events shown
Apple Music dates The College Dropout to 10 February 2004. The Recording Academy identifies it as the album behind West's first Best Rap Album award.
At the 47th Grammy Awards, West received Best Rap Album for The College Dropout, Best Rap Song for Jesus Walks and a shared Best R&B Song award for You Don't Know My Name. The ceremony took place in 2005 for the preceding eligibility period.
West followed The College Dropout with Late Registration. Its official streaming catalogue dates the release to 30 August 2005.
Official Charts records Stronger at number one on the UK singles chart dated 25 August 2007. It remained at number one on the next dated chart, giving it two weeks at the top.
Graduation followed the first two albums. Apple Music lists 11 September 2007 as its release date and identifies the recording as a Roc-A-Fella release.
West released 808s & Heartbreak in November 2008. The cited US catalogue lists 25 November for its edition, so this chronology retains month precision rather than asserting one worldwide release day.
The next selected solo album milestone is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Apple Music dates the release to 22 November 2010.
Jay-Z and Kanye West released the joint album Watch the Throne. The cited deluxe catalogue edition carries an 8 August 2011 release date.
Yeezus followed the joint project with Jay-Z. Its official streaming listing dates the ten-song album to 18 June 2013 and identifies Def Jam Recordings as the label.
Apple Music dates The Life of Pablo to 14 February 2016. The current catalogue edition is not a frozen record of every track or revision available on its first day.
The seven-song solo album ye is dated 1 June 2018 in the official streaming catalogue. A second project with Kid Cudi followed a week later.
Kanye West and Kid Cudi released the joint project Kids See Ghosts. The seven-song album is dated 8 June 2018, one week after ye.

The Recording Academy lists Jesus Is King as the winner of Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021.

The catalogue credits Vultures 1 to the duo ¥$, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, with a 10 February 2024 release date and a YZY copyright credit. It is a joint project rather than a solo album.
