‘Watch The Throne’ Tops The Charts, Nielsen SoundScan Album Sales
The most anticipated hip hop album of the year, “Watch The Throne,” did not disappoint according to Nielsen SoundScan and Billboard.
Jay-Z and Kanye Wests’ collaboration album has been the most talked about project across the nation for months. The hard work paid off, the creative campaigns worked successfully, and now they can reap the benefits while continuing to push the project on tour.
Watch The Throne sold over 436,000 copies and came in at #1 on Billboard Charts. The first week sales report is the second largest of the year. Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” album sold 1 million copies. Gaga’s record sales were assisted because Amazon put the entire album on sale for 1 dollar during the first week.
Watch The Throne is currently the number one album in the country and their featured single “Otis” is top ten.
