JAY-Z SURPASSES ELVIS

Based on sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3" moved 476,000 copies in the week ending on Sunday (Sept. 13), which gives the rapper his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

The album's No. 1 achievement pushes Jigga ahead of Elvis Presley as the solo act with the second most No. 1 albums in the more-than 50-year history of the Billboard 200. He needs 10 more chart toppers to unseat the Beatles, who hold the record with 19 No. 1s.
