Chance Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 25 minutes ago, trainsskyscrapers said: Right? If I remember correctly, EVERY solo Jay-Z studio album since 1998/Hard Knock Life has been a #1 album. (Knowing how Jay picks his release weeks I have a hard time seeing any of these albums not debut at #1). His first two albums are the only two studio albums in his catalogue to miss #1 in the US, charting at #23 and #3 respectively. He currently has 11 #1 studio albums, and another 2 collaborative #1 albums (one with Kanye, the other R. Kelly). His EP with Linkin Park also went #1. "Breaking up JAY-Z’s hot streak between 1998 and the present are seven charting titles that did not reach No. 1. Among those: his first collaboration effort with R. Kelly (The Best of Both Worlds, peaking at No. 2), a best-of album (Hits Collection: Volume One, No. 43), a live set (Live in Brooklyn, No. 36) and even an acapella title (The Black Album: Acapella, No. 106)."

Why didn't they include Shady XV, Southpaw, Eminem Presents: The Reup, The Singles, and Straight From The Lab for Eminem then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Because if that’s the case then Eminem didn’t have 8 straight #1s. I don’t like that they’re discrediting Jay. The blueprint 2 - #1 (2002) The Black album - #1 (2003) Unfinished business - #1 (2004) kingdom come - #1 (2006) American gangster - #1 (2007) The blueprint 3 - #1 (2009) Watch the throne - #1 (2011) Magna Carta Holy Grail - #1 (2013) 4:44 #1 (2017) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
