Yeah, but 21 Savage had 75K buyers and Jay only had 1 (Sprint).

*Runs out of topic*

Wrong this is the actual sales since the album has been out everywhere unless everybody that has bought it or streamed it the last week all work for Sprint

-----------------------​

Humble Hov checking in just had a bad dream yall. LL was giving me the side eye again and Future was playing football with my sons while I was back to charging motherfuckers 11 for an 0, shit was a nightmare

So Shawn figured he'd pull out the Macintosh and freestyle a quick PSA to clear his mind

@Beyonce you wanted us to end cause I fucked Becky plus her friend, you gave me one more chance and I fucked her again lmao

But look I dropped a sensitive thug album and I didn't even name the twins Robb and Forbes cause you didn't want it

Now don't embarrass me and lets renew vows in a elevator

@Nas yo dog you still got your couch from the old crib? Let me buy that shit please

B wont lift the bedroom ban and I remember getting hella sleep when I had my feet up on your sofa man

@IdrisElba we shooting the Family Feud vid in a week and I need you to play Emory you heard

This'll be your easiest role ever cause you know he never says shit

@Ma you made another album, how crazy is that! You never shouldve taught me to keep side chicks on deck tho

Thats it for now yall I'm bout to try and get some sleep while I rest one eye up

Shoutout to my fans in here lets keep it peaceful. Nobody wins when my Warriors feud

Yo that 'Bam' video was TUFF... More like a documentary than a music video, got goosebumps on parts of it... Would love it if there was a like a whole documentary of Jay in Jamaica... Love the part with Sister Nancy talking about how parts of 'Bam Bam' was freestyle...

JAY-Z Scores 14th No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With '4:44'

JAY-Z collects his 14th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his latest release, 4:44, debuts atop the tally. According to Nielsen Music, in the week ending July 13, the set earned 262,000 equivalent album units -- a larger-than-initially-expected sum, and the fourth-largest week of 2017 for any album. Of its total, 174,000 units were in traditional album sales.

4:44’s No. 1 arrival extends JAY-Z’s record as the solo artist with the most No. 1 albums in the 61-year history of the Billboard 200 chart. He distances himself farther ahead of the two acts with the second-most leaders among soloists: Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand, who each have 11 chart-toppers. Among all acts, JAY-Z has the second-most leaders, behind only The Beatles, which have 19 No. 1s.

JAY-Z also furthers his own record as the artist with the most debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as all 14 of his albums have bowed in the top slot. (Springsteen has the second-most No. 1 debuts, with eight.)

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new July 29-dated chart (where JAY-Z starts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, July 18.

4:44 was initially issued on June 30 (via S. Carter Enterprises/Roc Nation) for one week of streaming exclusivity through Tidal. However, Tidal did not report data for the album to Nielsen Music for the week ending July 6, so the album did not debut on the July 22-dated chart. (In addition, by July 2, the album was also offered as a free download -- sponsored by Sprint -- via the web site 444.tidal.com. The free downloads were ineligible to chart, per Billboard’s current pricing policy.)

Then, on July 7, the album became widely available to most streaming services (but not Spotify, as JAY-Z pulled his catalog from the service in April) and to retailers as both a download and CD (with three bonus tracks).

Overall, 4:44’s launch of 262,000 units grants the album the fourth-largest week of 2017, behind the debuts of Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. (603,000 units), Drake’s More Life (505,000) and Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) (451,000).

Of 4:44’s 174,000 sales in the week ending July 13, the set sold 131,000 as a download and 43,000 on CD.

Despite 4:44’s absence from Spotify, the album still generated the fourth-biggest streaming debut of 2017. Of its total 262,000-unit start, 7,000 were in TEA units, while SEA units represented 82,000 units. The latter sum equals 122.4 million streams of the album’s songs. In terms of streaming debuts in 2017, it trails only Drake’s More Life (257,000 SEA units; 384.8 million song streams), Lamar’s DAMN. (227,000 SEA units; 340.6 million song streams) and Sheeran’s ÷ (90,000 SEA units; 134.6 million song streams).

JAY-Z’s previous album, Magna Carta…Holy Grail, debuted at No. 1 in 2013 with 528,000 copies sold in its first week (before the chart transitioned to a consumption-ranked tally in 2014). Like 4:44, Magna Carta was issued in a unique fashion: it was first released (on July 4, 2013) as a free download to certain Samsung phone and tablet users who had downloaded a JAY-Z-centric app. (One million copies were available for free to fans through the app.) It then became widely available to retailers on July 9.

Every one of JAY-Z’s solo studio albums have reached No. 1 since 1998’s Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life (which was also his first No. 1). His 14 chart-toppers also include three collaborative efforts: one each with R. Kelly (Unfinished Business), Linkin Park (MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course) and Kanye West (Watch the Throne).

Yeah it was dope, when she talked about freestyling it reminded me of Eek a Mouse, check this out, one of my favourite video of all time, gets deep when he talks/signs about police killing his brother around 2:40 mark...
