Since it's a holiday week, the biggest releases in the music industry are available a day early! This week we've got Kanye's much-anticipated album, along with new tunes from Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj.

"Grow a Pear"
"The Harold Song"
Download this album if you: Still like "Tik Tok," even though you've heard it a billion times.
