According to Billboard, the album is projected to sell nearly 150,000 copies in its first week, which would make it the first digital-only album in history to debut at the top of the charts.
Featured on the album is Jay-Z’s high-profile collaboration with Bono of U2, Rihanna and The Edge, “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour),” which was produced by Swizz Beatz.
According to MTV, the track is the No. 1 iTunes download in 12 countries.
The album itself was released following Friday’s (Jan 22) Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which has, to date, raised over $61 million in relief for Haiti.
