For the second week in a row Jay Z’s 4:44 rules Billboard 200

From flying paper planes through the projects to soaring above the Billboard charts two weeks in a row, JAY-Z’s 4:44 reigns supreme on the album chart for a second week.

According to Billboard, the Roc Nation mogul’s hit album bows atop the tally with 87,000 additional copies. Last week, the album debuted to a tune of 262,000 copies in its first week. In its second week, 4:44sold 61,000 in traditional album sales, while the remainder of the 87,000 total was split between streaming equivalent albums and track equivalent albums.

4:44 is now one of five albums from JAY-Z that has accumulated more than a week at No. 1. Two of these chart-toppers earned more than three weeks at the top spot, including 1998’s Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life(five weeks) and 2001’s The Blueprint (three weeks).

Not far behind on the chart is Kendrick Lamar, whose DAMN. album rose to No. 2 on the chart with an additional 56,000 copies, as he takes the record on the road in the recently-started Damn Tour with Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. As Billboard notes, in its 14th week on the chart, the album has yet to leave the top three slot since its April release. Meanwhile, French Montana is the only debut in the top 10, as his latest album Jungle Rules opens up at No. 3 with 52,000 units sold.
