It is also the third-biggest opening for an album this year, behind Jay Z’s ‘Magna Carta … Holy Grail,’ which sold 528,000 in its first week in July, and Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience,” which debuted with 968,000 in March. Hip-hop artist K. Michelle was the only other new album to enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week, landing at No. 2 with her debut album ‘Rebellious Soul,’ selling 71,000 copies.
