Jay-Z has officially claimed his 10th number one album!
The rap icon’s latest release, American Gangster, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart with opening week sales of 425,000.
The feat ties Elvis Presley in second place for the most number one albums on the chart; only The Beatles have had more, with 19.
The victorious rapper says, “I’ve got this Elvis thing going on right here, but what’s great about that is that I’ve never had a number one single on any of my albums. People buy them for the body of work.”
Congrats, Jay!
