Samsung may have purchased 1 million copies of his new LP for their mobile phone users, but it seems Jay Z won’t be needing these sales to top the Billboard 200 next week.
Indeed, thanks to a short but potent digital campaign launched for the ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’, pre-orders for the release have sky rocketed in the last week, giving it no choice but to soar to the top of the charts next week!
Good news below…
So strong are the album’s pre-order sales tonight, Billboard have predicted it will shift between 350,000 to 400,000 units by the end of next week, set to mark his 13th time atop the chart.
All too telling of his the support afforded to him by the casual listener, ‘Holy Grail’ now faces little to no competition on a chart front- guaranteed the #1 spot despite the momentum surrounding Ciara‘s self titled new album ‘Ciara’, and J.Cole‘s brand new ‘Born Sinner‘- which is on course to top the chart this week.
Sure to silence any who questioned how well the LP would fare when forced to sell ‘traditionally’, one wonders how many more units ‘Grail’ would have sold if given a longer roll out and a definitive lead single.
Thing is though- as these digits prove- Jay has reached a level where he’s guaranteed to soar higher than the rest without these bells and whistles, and will continue to do so in the years that follow this one.
Ciara is a non-madda-fawkin factor when compared to Cole and Jay so just stop with the reach and keep collecting her promo budget cheques
Ciara highest first week is over 230 k she went platinum in 4 weeks. Its been over 3 weeks since J cole & Kanye released Are either of them platinum?????
Has J cole EVER had a #1 single ? or any top tens? I like him but lets not make this a shade fest bc I have receipts
this is not 2006!! ciara has been a non factor for 7 years now! wake up!
oh my bad, actually 338k

Looking at that nasty camel squishing down the fragile little lady.
Camels are cute animals with big beautiful eyelashes this human camel is something else.
And those sales are all that should count. The Samsung s*** is muddying the waters of earned sales.perfect match a cheater and a thief. Congrats though..
DUH,
BONNIE & CLYDE B****!!!!!!
Poor Kylie. She looks frightened.
Trying to picture what it would be like to share a couple of lines with Gays.
That camel looking person made your fave so if I were you I would give him all the respect #justsaying…
I’m sure cici will be in the top 5. I knew Jay was gonna sell like that.
but your fave married the camel looking person tho O_O
Damn. He is ugly ass mofo.
i cancelled my preorder with itunes. The Beys don’t need anymore of my coins and I already copped the album by other means.
UGly makes ugly baby. Anyway, slopping sales for someone thinks she is better thna Em. Numb by rihanna slays that beyonce on the run s***.
That explains why Rihanna is as ugly as her mama
Beyonce has sold 30.5 MILLION ALBUMS IN THE U.S and Rihanna sold only 9.5 get right b****
Numb needs a video tbh
Folks calm down, this has nothing 2 do with his wife, the man has always topped the Billboard 200.
Is something wrong S****** Blonde? You’re making sense and I been agreeing with you lately. Is this a fake?
GIRL LIES!
With or without Samsung, Him and his wife would have bought all copies anyway to snatch 1st place……
Cant believe anything these days!
What happened to FAIR AND SQUARE???????
M***** Z a thief and con artist just like his wife
Lol @ FLOPara s album, it sell 300 k ww 🙁 🙂 🙂
speaking of thiefs

H** STFU
Who the hell is Fefe Dobson???????????????
QUEEN RIH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YOUR FAVE
How was Rih a copy of Fefe Dobson when Fefe was just a dark Avril Lavigne that didn’t workout? Def Jam dropped a lot of b******, Fefe, Christina Milian, Teairra Mari and Megan Rochell. Rihanna was the only one that could sell and make hits. May be the reason why Rih drop so many albums, all the songs goes to her, she’s pretty much the only one who sells on that label year after year.
MARK Thanks.
QUEEN LACEFRONCE !!!!!!!! <3
HAHAHAHA
LOOK AT THE C*** IN THE BACK OF THE PIC KACKELING!!!!!
WONDER WHAT SHE FOUND SO FUNNY?
PROBABLY THE FACT THAT JAYZ FELT THE NEED TO CHEAT TO SECURE HIS THRONE…. #IJS

DIGGER BEY leave Ciara, rihanna and other the hell along the Carters got money they will never be able to spend in five life times let other artist get paid.
The Carters will leave money after they are dead and buried for all those greedy investors who sticks to them like glue in turn for making it seem as though they are picture perfect when we all know that ,there was only one perfect man and he rides the clouds in the sky some one the Carters don’t believe in because people like your idiot ass have got them thinking they are God aLMIGHTY.
aND ANY WHO EMINEM HAS DROPPED LESS ALBUM AND HAS SOLD MORE THAN JAY WITH HIS DOZEN OR SO ALBUMS EXPLAIN THAT, YOU ROOSTER HEAD IDIOT.
Have you ever heard of the term Old money? Sounds like you haven’t? Old money is a term that relates to when our country first came into existence, many families that started their fortunes back then, were so wealthy they passed it on from generation to generation. I always thought once you had a family you, your goal was to take care of them, even the generations that aren’t here yet, so they don’t have to struggle. The Carters are known as New Money, which means they are the one’s who started the line of fortune that will be passed from generation to generation, so is it so bad that they get money. And another thing, I don’t understand how having a lot of money means you don’t believe in God, I mean the Catholic Church is a billion dollar corporation and God is their business but also their belief. So whats your point? We need to stop thinking you have to sell your soul in order to get the money The Carters and others have. These people work harder the others, network harder then others to achieve get what they have…if everyone did the same thing the world would be full of rich people.
Bunch of r***** ass navy stans! Jay-Z has topped the charts over 12 times..look up his sales before you hate. The navy are so delusional, Rihanna is such a star yet she sales her s*** cheap and still can only do platinum(which takes her forever) in the us. The only real numbers you get are her UK numbers and US singles, the rest are Stan made up numbers. Who’s the real thief?
smh a stan base that supports a coked out drug w**** and hype her sales..even though her singles are $1…Rihanna..the discount queen lol..thats why the mrs.carter show is slaying that ass lol..without that many stadiums or false records(paid for by def scam of course)
Rihanna is all hype,no substance!
She sells her s*** cheap because her stans can’t afford 1.99 or 2.99 lol
Stop always trying to discredit others navy…you are officially worse than the hive,lambs, and any other Stan group!

Any a/h can slander and lie on another and they usually do, just like you.
Amanda Bynes is needed in this b****, Jay-Z is one ugly as MOFO.
*ass
KING.
As I recall they said the same thing about iTunes but look where we are now, this is just the next level. Samsung spent their coins on those album, it wouldn’t be different if a person bought 10 copies and gave them for free. Samsung just has more money to do that. So how is that muddy? Change is evident people, get with the times. Being innovative is was pushes things forward not doing the same damn thing over and over again.
Saint i see that as a great thing Jay did and a great marketing tool.
actually it is very different than somebody buying them and giving them away….when u give a gift u don’t expect a turn on an investment…Samsung made an investment and they’d better get their money’s worth……still a great deal, but not the same

DIGGER BEY, KEEP MUDDING THE WATER FOR THE CARTER/KNOWLES CAMP.
You are one of the biggest idiot in the Bey Hive,always negative,always sad,and always talking /commenting/typing a truck load of useless b/s,wash your ass and take your meds.
I DON’T TRUST JAY Z WITH HIS ILLUMINATI S***!!!!!!!!!!!1 NEXT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Wow love to hav jay z d*** so bad. I want him
Yea cuz he knows of your existance and he wants you to join lol. Cuz you don’t have your own mind to go by what you believe. It’s only entertainment. “Cause were all just entertainers and were stupid and contagious!” Truth to it core.
Jay made the profit when he sold his albums to Samsung, in turn Samsung thought “Hey if we have this exclusive App for our phone from this big musical talent, say we’ll release the album early people will want to buy this Samsung phone in order to get this album. Because hey it’s Jay Z and the album is good…right?” Well I don’t know if that’s the case because I have yet to hear anything about how many new phones Samsung were sold. But I did see that even with Samsung buying those albums Jay still went platinum because of the pre orders. So at the end of the day it was great marketing on his part.
