Ladies and gentleman, after throwing down the gauntlet and ignoring a crass Twitter message, Stephen Colbert managed to motivate you, The Colbert Nation, to move his album to number 2 on the iTunes charts, while Mr. West (”He’s not the voice of his generation, thanks to auto-tune he’s not even the voice of his new album”)’s 808s and Heartbreak could only muster #4.

Colbert isn’t foolish enough to go after Britney, but consider Kanye humbled.
