Jay-Z Scores Another Number One Album

Releasing a number one selling album isn’t new news to Jay-Z. Since 1998, the hip-hop rapper’s solo studio albums have all hit number one, including his collaboration titles with Linkin Park and R.Kelly.

Jay-Z’s newest album “American Gangster” (Def Jam) is the latest to join that list, giving him a total of 10 number one selling albums. He now ties Elvis for second place for the most number one albums. The only group left to beat, is The Beatles who hold the top spot with 19 albums.

Jay-Z has mad talent and is no doubt a legend, but topping The Beatles is going to take a bit more magic in this day and age.
