Jay-Z is on course to achieve his 10th No. 1 album on The Billboard 200, as his “American Gangster” set (Roc-A-Fella) leads Nielsen SoundScan’s Building Chart, released today (Nov. 7).

If Jay-Z locks his 10th No. 1, that will tie him with Elvis Presley for second place among artists with the most chart-toppers. Only the Beatles have more, with 19.

Unweighted sales for “American Gangster” through the close of business yesterday from the Building Chart’s panel of reporters stood at 179,000. That’s the third largest figure seen on the Wednesday Building Chart since SoundScan began compiling it in September. Jay-Z trails only the first-day numbers for Kanye West’s “Graduation” (437,000) and 50 Cent’s “Curtis” (310,000).
