Jay takes on Elvis

Jay-Z will tie Elvis for the most number one albums in history, a feat that depends on the success of his American Gangster album.

Jay-Z landed his ninth number one album last year with Kingdom Come, which sold about 680,000 in its first week.

The Kingdom Come album put Jay-Z in a tie with The Rolling Stones, who have landed nine number one albums throughout their 40-year career.

If Jay-Z's American Gangster sells well, only The Beatles would have offered the music world more number one albums.
