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.

THATS A LOT OF UNITS BUT ITS RELATIVE TO HIS PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS HE HAD UNPRECEDENTED PROMOTION. THE VIDEO FOR YOUR LEAD SINGLE DEBUTS DURING HALF TIME OF MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL , THEN YOU TAKE THE SAME VIDEO AND MAKE IT INTO A COMMERCIAL FOR BUDWEISER THAT PLAYS REPEATEDLY FOR WEEKS AT EVERY MAJOR SPORTING EVENT THAT AIRS ON TELEVISION. K FED WOULD SELL THAT MUCH WITH THAT SORT OF PROMO. NOT TO DOWN PLAY WHAT HOV IS DOING I’M THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED BY HIS PROMO EFFORTS AND THE ALBUM ITSELF I THINK THIS IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE GAME CORPORATE AMERICA IS ABOUT TO EMBRACE HIP HOP AS A MARKETING TOOL LIKE NEVER BEFORE
