Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 #1 Puts Him Ahead of Elvis


Albums: Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 #1 Puts Him Ahead of Elvis

Blueprint 3's no. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 album chart puts him behind only the Beatles for most no. 1 albums:

"Jay-Z's No. 1 achievement with "Blueprint 3" will push him ahead of Elvis Presley as the solo act with the most No. 1 albums in the more-than 50-year history of the Billboard 200. And Jay will now have the second-most No. 1 albums among all acts. Fittingly, only the Beatles, with 19 No. 1s, have more."

Tell that to baby boomers that still don't get hip hop. They might not like it but they won't forget it!

On a very different note, though there seem to have been some distribution snags for Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II, it still makes the top 10 at no. 4.
