It's now official, Jay-Z's "American Gangster" sold 425,000 copies in the U.S. last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to become his 10th No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 chart.
Jigga has now tied Elvis Presley in second place for the most No. 1 albums on the chart and trails only the Beatles with 19. In the past nine years, all eight of Jay-Z's solo studio albums have reached No. 1, in addition to his "Collision Course" project with Linkin Park and his "Unfinished Business" collaboration with R. Kelly.
The Def Jam president knocked off The Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden," which slips to No. 2 ahead of Garth Brooks' "The Ultimate Hits" at No. 3.
After debuting at No. 2 last week, Chris Brown's sophomore Jive album, "Exclusive," falls to No. 4. The top ten is rounded out by Carrie Underwood's "Carnival Ride," Josh Groban's holiday album, "Noel," Britney Spears' "Blackout," Taylor Swift's self-titled album, Angels & Airwaves' "I-Empire" and Cassidy's "B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story" at No. 10.
