Well BP2 first week sales are in and Jay knocks 8Mile Soundtrack from its strong hold on #1. BP2 sold 545,000 copies, certified gold. Some artist only sale 500,000 copies each album, like Nore, lol. This is Jay-Z's fifth first week #1. Last year's Blueprint sold 426,500 copies its first week, which is now 2x platnium currently. I'm personally disappointed because I thought he'd sale like 700k but hay. Strangly enough The Dynasty sold the most in its first week, 558,000 copies, which I think is his weakest album.
