Top Selling Rap Albums On Billboard Chart This Week

Jay-Z has the top selling rap album on the Billboard chart this week; Magna Carta Holy Grail sold 37,000 copies this week, to now stand at a 6 week total of 882,000. Congrats to Kendrick Lamar, as his "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" album attained platinum status this week. I was actually rooting for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to get the first platinum selling rap album this year with their The Heist album, but Kendrick beat them to it. His very controversial verse on Big Sean's Control song really helped out. Kendrick was down to selling 3-4k copies the last couple of weeks, but the Control verse boosted his album sales. GKMC sold 9,000 copies this week, to now put it at a total sales so far of 1,000,000.
