Jay-Z’s new album, ‘The Blueprint 3’, hit the number one spot on the Billboard 200 charts this past week by selling over 476,000 copies. That’s not unusual for the rapper though considering that his new album makes it his 11th album to hit the top of the mountain. Mind you, that also makes him the most successful solo artist since Elvis Presley! It’s a good thing that he didn’t follow through with his retirement. I don’t think many people can accomplish that kind of feat and be able to say that they are as good, or probably better, than Elvis. And if Jay-Z wants to be the best of all time, he just needs 8 more number ones to tie with The Beatles.
