p:abstract
  • "Gold Digger" is a 2005 number one single recorded by Kanye West. It features Jamie Foxx and was released by Roc-a-Fella Records. As the second single from West's second album, Late Registration, "Gold Digger" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, becoming West's and Foxx's second number one single after 2003's "Slow Jamz" with Twista. It is inarguably his most commercially successful and signature song, most recognizable for the Ray Charles samplings reworked by Foxx (who portrayed Charles in the 2004 film Ray), and its caustic lyrical criticism of those who marry simply for money and security. The single broke a record for the most digital downloads in a week, selling over 80,000 digital downloads, and was also the fastest selling digital download of all time; both records have since been broken. It was 2005's second-longest running number one on The Billboard Hot 100 at ten weeks, behind Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together". "Gold Digger" was nominated for "Record of the Year" at the Grammy Awards of 2006 (losing to Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") and won the award for Best Rap Solo Performance. (en)
