Jay-Z knocks Eminem off US album top spot

Jay-Z's 'The Blueprint 2' has sold 545,000 copies in its first week, knocking Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack off the top of the US album chart.

Jay-Z has knocked Eminem off the top of the US album charts with his eight album ‘The Blueprint 2’ easily outselling the 8 Mile Soundtrack album. With 545,000 copies shifted in its first week the new album is selling faster than 2001’s ‘The Blueprint’, which sold 426,000 units in its first week.

Eminem can take heart though, not only is the soundtrack to his debut movie at number two, his own album ‘The Eminem Show’ is still at number nine!
