Jay-Z may be playing by ‘new rules’, yet in doing so he finds himself in familiar territory – success.
Today saw the Hip-Hop mogul earn his first #1 on the Official UK Album Chart with his 12th studio album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail‘.
Wildly popular in the territory, Jigga’s highest peaks on the tally were 2009’s ‘Blueprint 3’ (solo) and ‘Watch The Throne’ in 2011 with Kanye West.
The impressive feat follows the critically hailed roll-out of the LP, which saw 1 million copies made available for free to Samsung phone users in the form of an app. What’s more, the timing couldn’t be more apt, as tonight sees the rapper close out his headlining set at London’s iconic Wireless Festival alongside touring mate Justin Timberlake. Needless to say, winning!

To be honest, he doesn’t deserve it because that album is trash. Kanye West has been carrying him this whole time and critics agree.
Metascore (out of 100)
Magna Carter Holy Grail: 57
Yeezus: 85
Clearly Kanye West had the better album. But then again Kanye West is educated and dropped out to pursue a career in music, Jay-Z is a semi-illiterate who sold drugs to his community.
*carta
Jay Z is not semi illiterate LOL. Hes actually very smart and articulate.
And yet he probably made more from Wireless Festival than you will ever make in your lifetime.
F*** THE CRITICS. Most of there albums they say is so called great are utterly boring. Kanye West album is good only in producing skills other than that his album is forgettable and not even wanted in the hip hop community. People cannot stand nor care about Kanyes album
I dont know why would anyone waste their time replying to lovebird you really just posted metascore to compare hip-hop albums , please stick to what you know queen.
I Know you think your hate is coming from a critic point of view but sorry to break it down your just blind hating and you sound dumb as s*** with all your theories and link pulling etc.
Jay-Z was educated enough to take a totally talentless s*** from Barbados, who otherwise would be working at Mc Donald’s, and make her a star based on virtually nothing.
so what he is a cheater
if this was rihanna……
But its not sweetie, Lets not get beside ourselves #RiCouldNevah
Rih could never WHAT?! She’s had multiple #1’s and platinum albums in the UK. Ciara is the one who will never.
Its not his best album he even said that but I am pleased for him nonetheless.
Cool. Idk why the word genius always comes to mind with him.
Magna Carta Holy Fail sucked though.
I only like one song on that album and its because of my little boy JT, can’t wait 4 Eminem.
Samantha, why didn’t you mention that Ciara debuted at #42 on the UK main charts?
Hov did that. With barely any UK promo too.
