With four US #1 albums to his name, it is a little known fact Nas was yet to enjoy similar successes overseas in the UK.
Well, that was until now.
For, in what marks a monumental moment in the icon’s career, today saw him land his first UK Top Ten album.
Groundbreaking details below…
Coming in at #8, ‘Life Is Good’ is now the only album by the MC to peak as highly in the tally, surpassing feats scored by ‘Untitled Album’ (#23) and the explosive ‘Hip Hop Is Dead’ (#68).
Coming in at #2 on the UK R&B chart, the LP is now the highest charting Rap release of the week, sitting five spots below Frank Ocean‘s ‘Channel Orange’ but 17 places above ‘Watch The Throne’ which holds court at an impressive #25, 50 weeks after its initial release.

love me some NAS!
Good for him, now he can get his daughter out the hood, and pay child support….ugh
You haters say the most.
And you d*** riders suck the most….rest b****
wow congratulations Nas
A) Nas has 5 number 1 albums and on Tuesday it will be 6.
This is the first Nas album I purchased and I really like it. I think that it will get nominated for best Rap Album at the Grammys but may lose to Drake’s Take Care.
I so tired of hearing Drake winie voice . Thank God Nas came out with this CD. People go purchase the CD best rap I heard in a long time
True statement cause I am getting tired of drake’s album myself. I am so happy for nas. I have all his albums and this one is shows where he is in his life right now. Congrats nas!!
It’s all about ‘reach out’ ft Mary j on this album, Total classic song
People saying they love Nas but did you purchase the album. I download it from itunes & I really love it. Great Job Nas!
Great talent, super artist!
It amazes me how there is always a double standard for the men
and the women in Music. Case in Point Jay has over twelve albums
out and eminem has like seven and em has out sold jay with less
albums and it’s never bought up and there’s never a word uttered,
yet the chicks or compared all the way to a tee!
Thanks for posting. 😎
I’m so glad Nas got a Top 10 album in the UK and his album seems to be doing well internationally too. The power of the internet, I guess. No hit singles, no major promotion and he nailed it. I hope he gets a Grammy for the album. It’s well deserved. And the Grammy’s have never supported him as much as he deserves.
U got that right, icon indeed. Nas is the realest real hiphop king. @Girrrl, COSIGN. Congrats king Nas.
Nas beat Frank! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best hip hop album of the 10s decade so far. if this doesnt win any grammys then i will lose hope.
i honestly enjoyed this album more than channel orange even though they are different genres.
and people comparing this to drakes shite CD? please. this is a modern day classic, better than any rap cd ive heard in a while.
Afrocentric Asian half man half amazing. Nas presents as a man of integrity and was never born to follow. Respect
