(Reuters) Kanye West has earned his third straight No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart with the debut of "808s & Heartbreak," while Guns N' Roses' first album in 17 years took third place.

With the help of Thanksgiving sale prices and a performance from the singer at the November 23 American Music Awards, sales for teenage country star Taylor Swift's "Fearless" increased 23 percent to 267,000, pushing the set up from No. 4 to No. 2

At No. 3 with 261,000 was Guns N' Roses' Best Buy exclusive "Chinese Democracy," the first studio album of original material from the group since 1991. [In Canada Jam! reports that Guns N' Roses hit No. 1] - more on this story
