"Rapper JAY-Z's comeback album is set to be the year's (06) biggest debut when the new Billboard chart is released later today (29NOV06). The hip-hop mogul's KINGDOM COME is on course to debut at number one with a staggering 700,000-plus copies sold, according to estimates. Jay-Z launched the album with a day-long seven city promotional tour last weekend (18-19NOV06) and he closed off Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles last Wednesday (22NOV06) to host a free Thanksgiving Eve concert."

"With scores of major new releases hitting shelves last week in time for post-Thanksgiving shopping, Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" came out on top of The Billboard 200. The Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam set moved a whopping 680,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the ex-retiree's biggest sales week ever, as well as his ninth No. 1 on the chart. He thusly ties the Rolling Stones for the third-most No. 1s, behind the Beatles with 19 and Elvis Presley with 10."
