And the Crocs thing was just funny as hell.

Stephen Colbert tops Kanye West on iTunes
‘Operation Humble Kanye’ a success!
Thu, Dec 4, 2008
Analysis, News

Early this week, Stephen Colbert urged viewers of “The Colbert Report” to purchase his Christmas CD on iTunes so that he could overtake and humble the ever arrogant Kanye West. At the time, Kanye West’s album was the top selling album on iTunes while Colbert’s lagged behind at #15. Colbert told viewers that they should purchase his CD at 5 P.M on Wednesday as part of “Operation Humble Kanye”.

So did it work? Well, it’s been 24 hours since the ‘operation’, and the answer is ‘yes and no’. Colbert didn’t hit the top spot on iTunes, but he did overtake Kanye. As of early Thursday morning, Colbert’s album climbed 12 spots to #3 while Kanye’s latest release dropped 3 spots down to #4.

On Tuesday afternoon, one day before D-day, Kanye responded via Twitter saying, “who the fuck is Stephen Colbert?”

Well, Kanye, he’s the dude with a CHRISTMAS album who just overtook you on iTunes.

I would have bought it on iTunes if I used iTunes. Love Colbert. Kanye annoys the hell out of me.

I liked Graduation, but from what i've heard from his newest one, I'm not impressed.

I like one song that I know of, Golddigger. But even if the rest of his music is good I dislike him so much I won't listen.

Kayne West doesn't care about Stephen Colbert people.
