Another week, another win for JAY-Z.
After an ostentatious launch on TIDAL and a super swift issuing of Platinum plaque (thanks to Sprint), the rapper’s ‘4:44’ album finally impacted all outlets.
The move meant the LP would at last be subject to traditional tracking.
Now, with the numbers and charts tallied, it’s all sorts of official – Jigga is #1 on the Billboard 200.
On-par with initial forecast, Nielsen data shows that the much discussed project shifted 262,000 (sales plus streaming), with 172,000 being pure sales.
The feat extends the Hip-Hop titan’s record as the solo artist with the most #1 albums in the 61-year history of the Billboard 200 chart. He has 13, while Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand both have 11].
‘4:44’ also furthers Mr Carter’s own record as the artist with the most debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200, as all of his albums have opened in the top slot.

Congrats.
It’ll be interesting to see if the project has lengthy legs of longevity.
Fraudulent
Congratulations Sir!!
As always this blog likes to embellish everything with The Carters if you guys did your homework you would know that Jay-Z has debuted at the top of the album charts since 1997 with his volume 1 album. Where as his debut album Reasonable Doubt peaked at number 3 on the billboard album chart. Just some history for you.
Right. They definitely just made something up smh
The new Payola King.
He officially earned another number one album lol..
