Rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z is the new king of albums.
When Jay-Z’s new CD “Blueprint 3″ landed at number one on the Billboard charts this week, he set a record for having the most number one albums by a solo artist–pulling ahead of the legendary Elvis Presley, according to Billboard magazine.
Jay-Z now has 11 number one albums under his belt.
“Blueprint 3″ sold 476,000 copies when it debuted Wednesday, and it’s expected to keep the number one spot next week.
The rapper is currently preparing for his upcoming college concert tour. Click here to view the tour dates.
