London, September 17 (ANI): Jay-Z may soon become the solo artist with the most chart-toppers in US chart history beating King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Elvis Presley.
The rap star’s new album ‘Blueprint 3′ might as well be his 11th American number one album, which will take him past the late ‘Jailhouse Rock’ hitmaker’s record of 10 number ones.
Billboard said the 39-year-old had so far shifted 476,000 copies of the LP, the BBC News reports.
Meanwhile, the Beatles still retain their position as the most successful act on the US chart, with 19 US number one albums. (ANI)
