In its second week on the charts, Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne has become one of the few Hip Hop releases this year to achieve gold certification for moving more than 500,000 units.
The album, which holds court at the top of the Billboard 200 for the second consecutive week, sold an additional 177,000 copies, upping its overall cume to 613,000 albums sold since its release. This also marks the first week that both digital and physical editions of the LP were available for the entirety of the sales period.

Since Kanye West first announced Watch the Throne on Twitter in August 2010, the tag-team LP with Jay-Z had been shrouded in mystery. In the months leading up to the album’s August 8, 2011 release, details remained sketchy. There was no loaded press run, super radio push, music video or album leaks leading up to the drop. In fact, “H.A.M” and “Otis” were the only songs released to the general public; beyond that there was nothing.

With so much star power driving Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne, it’s a wonder the project has seen so many delays and so few hard release dates.It appears, however, that iTunes has finally provided the latter. Maybe.
The digital retailer has revealed that Monday, August 8, is the “expected release” date of the album. With that caveat of “expected” in mind, standard and deluxe editions of the album are available for pre-order.

The anticipation for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s joint album Watch the Throne coupled with the lack of information surrounding the project has created the perfect storm for rumors. Earlier this month, The Source magazine reported that the album would be dropping July 4. With Independence Day coming in less than a week, those chances are looking as slim as the girl in Calvin Klein pants is. But on Wednesday’s (June 29) episode of “Rap Fix Live,” G.O.O.D.
