Jay-Z Week: Jay-Z's Comeback CD Flies Off Shelves,Sells 850k

After a whirl-wind of promotion for the album, Jay-Z's comeback LP Kingdome Come is set to break first-week sales records for 2006 and will land at #1 on the charts come next week.
Riding the wave of a strong performance at the recent American Music Awards and an unprecedented "Hangar Tour," which included seven shows in less than 24 hours in Atlanta, Philadelphia, DC, New Jersey, Chicago, L.A. and Las Vegas, Jay-Z will finally be seeing the fruits of his labors once next week's charts are released.

Apparently the "Mike Jordan of recording" can still ball, with sales of his latest disc projected to reach 850,000 units by next week, according to HitsDailyDouble.com. Jigga's totals would clearly beat out the old record for the year held by the Rascal Flatts, who debuted with 714,000 records sold in their first week on shelves this past April.

In related news, Jay has also recently become the #1 on-demand artist ever on Clear Channel Radio, with 600,000 plays over the past week on more than 220 station websites. As previously reported, the Brooklyn-bred MC partnered with Clear Channel stations Power 105 and Z100 in New York last week to give fans an exclusive opportunity to listen to the album in its entirety before its release date.

thats kinda messed up because obie's album was a classic album and it didn't push sales at all...
I went out and bought it of course and imna wait for the re-up too.
Jay-Z's tracks i've heard from Kingdom Come suck in my opinion so far.
I'm not much of a jayz fan

bad distribution.

Im yet to see Obies album in this part of europe, and the Jay z is prolly everywhere by now.

These days rappers sell according to hype, the more hype u get the more albums are gonna be ordered by the shops (and the only numbers that count are the numbers that the shops buy)

lol i didn't like Kingdom Come that much.. :sweating:

so i have to agree with Asp and what he says bout the hype and quality lmao :shifty:

by **Shady4lyfe** » Nov 28th, '06, 09:21

that's true what you say asp. i still think he shouldn't have even made the top 5. His album's mediocre compared to recent tracks ive heard
