About this song
"Heartless" was released as a promotional single 20 days before the official release of 808s and Heartbreak. It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped both the Rhythmic and Hot Rap Songs charts. The single is certified 6x platinum and is Kanye's third best-selling single, behind "Stronger" and "Gold Digger." Its minimalistic artwork is the only art from the 808s era without a heart motif.
