11/06/07 - Rapper Jay-Z Takes On Elvis For Most #1 Albums

igetmoney01 · 11-06-2007, 10:52 AM

If all goes Jay-Z's way, the rap mogul will tie rock legend Elvis for the most number one albums in history, a feat that depends on the success of the rapper's American Gangster album.

Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, landed his ninth number one album last year with Kingdom Come, which sold about 680,000 in its first week, the rapper's best to date.

The Kingdom Come album put Jay-Z in a tie with another iconic rock act, The Rolling Stones, who have landed number nine number one albums throughout their 40-year career.

If Jay-Z's American Gangster sells well, only The Beatles would have offered the music world more number one albums, with an incredible 19.

American Gangster's main opposition include Cassidy’s highly anticipated album B.A.R.S. and Nas' Greatest Hits package which landed in stores today (November 6) as well.

In related news, Jay-Z announced that the American Gangster album will not be available on iTunes.

"As movies are not sold scene by scene, this collection will not be sold as individual singles," Jay-Z said, noting that the album could be purchased online at Rocafella.com, Amazon.com and Rhapsody.com.

In addition to debuting a video for "Roc Boys" this week, Jay-Z will be featured on VH1's Storytellers series, which airs on November 8.

I hope he don't get beat out by Chris Brown.

lUp315 · 11-06-2007, 06:24 PM

JohnnieRed · 11-06-2007, 08:16 PM

He's getting number 1 spot. Circuit city was sold out by noon. I had to go to bestbuy.

Good idea not going thru itunes. Make those fuckers buy the album to boost soundscan numbers.

and to that idiot who said he can only compete with a dead man, get a life.

I'm coppin' American Gangster.

craze189 · 11-07-2007, 05:44 PM

The music business is not the same anymore. I sincerely doubt that anyone will ever have 19 no. 1 albums again. I hope Jay does go number 1 and get that no. 2 alltime spot though because at the end of the day it is an accomplishment for hip-hop. He really doesn't have anything to worry about as far as competition except for Chris Brown, who I'm sure will do heavy numbers.

As for ol' boy who said something about competing with a dead man, you sound stoopid. When that dead man is Elvis, competing with him is one hell of an accomplishment. 50 Cent only has two no. 1 albums and y'all ride his d*ck off into the sunset so please stop hating and give Jay his props.

Honestly, I thought AG was a good album and just like Kingdom Come, I am appreciating it more and more as time passes, and that's a good thing. Too many albums come out that are hot for a couple of weeks or months, and then you get tired of them. Truly good albums stand up to the test of time and IMO American Gangster is one of those albums.
