Nas #1?

Nas’ latest album, “Stillmatic” has apparently gone Gold. According to the Choice FM rap show, the album has surpassed the 500,000 sales figures in its first week, certifying it a Gold Plaque.

This is in spite of the bootlegging of the album a couple of weeks prior to its release. This is another victory over Jay-Z, who could only manage 400,000+ sold in his first week, although his album did drop on the same day as the WTC disaster. Whether this will be enough for Nas to enter the charts at #1 is another story. All shall be revealed later in the week.
