Jay-Z’s ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ First-Week Sales Projections

As you likely know, Jay-Z‘s new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, is technically already platinum (no Slim Thug) after Samsung bought a million copies for its exclusive app. But now it’s officially out for everyone else to hear (and purchase), and it’s looking pretty good for Hov. According to Billboard, the album is set to sell between 350,000 and 400,000 copies in its first week. That will be enough to give him another No. 1 record, increasing his total to 13 number-one albums. The only act with more is the Beatles, who have 19. [via]
