Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" album storms in
at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 527,000 copies in its first week,
according to preliminary data from Nielsen SoundScan.
The larger-than-expected start is the second-biggest sales
week for a single album this year. According to Billboard, it bypasses the previous runner-up, Daft
Punk's "Random Access Memories," which opened with 339,000 in May.
Both albums trail behind the year's largest frame, racked up when Justin
Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" exploded with 968,000 in its
first week.
