Billboard 200 Albums (July 17-24, 2013)
As reported last night (July 16), Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" album bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the rap titan's 13th leader. The set sold 527,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the second-largest sales frame of the year. (2013's biggest week still belongs to Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience," which bowed with 968,000.)
Jay-Z extends his record for the most No. 1 albums among solo acts. He's second among all artists to the Beatles, who have 19 leaders.
Entering at No. 2 this week behind Jay-Z is Ciara, with her self-titled fourth album. It starts with 58,000 sold, an improvement over the 37,000 that greeted her last set, 2010's "Basic Instinct." Overall, "Ciara" is the singer's fourth album to reach the top three on the Billboard 200. Her only set to miss the region was "Basic Instinct," which debuted and peaked at No. 44.
One more new entry arrives in the top 10 this week: Skylar Grey's Interscope Records debut set, "Don't Look Down." The singer bows at No. 8 with 24,000. The singer/songwriter shot to fame as the guest vocalist on such songs as Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home" and Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor."
Grey previously charted as Holly Brook and notched a top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit in 2006 as the guest vocalist on Fort Minor's "Where'd You Go." Under the name Brook, she issued one album, "Like Blood Like Honey," which hit No. 35 on the Heatseekers Albums chart in 2006.
As for the holdover titles in the top 10 this week: J. Cole's "Born Sinner" slips from No. 1 to No. 3 with 39,000 (down 32%), while Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" is steady at No. 4 with 32,000 (down 9%). Florida Georgia Line's "Here's to the Good Times" is also a non-mover at No. 5 with 31,000 (down 3%).
Kanye West's "Yeezus" slides 3-6 with 29,000 (down 26%), Wale's "The Gifted" drops 2-7 with 28,000 (down 44%), and Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" descends 7-9 with 23,000 (down 18%). Rounding out the top 10 is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "The Heist," moving down two rungs to No. 10 with 22,000 (down 5%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending July 14) totaled 4.84 million units, down less than 1% compared with the sum last week (4.86 million) and down 13% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (5.6 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 151.7 million, down 6% compared with the same total at this point last year (161.8 million).
Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: Nas' "Life Is Good" debuted at No. 1 with 149,000. The "Kidz Bop 22" album was the chart's second-highest bow, coming in at No. 3 with 64,000.

Ciara’s fifth album, Ciara, debuts at #2. This marks a strong recovery from her last album, Basic Instinct, which debuted and peaked at #44 in December 2010. (It got lost in the superstar-laden Christmas traffic. Also, it failed to produce a top 40 hit on the Hot 100.) The new album is Ciara’s fourth album to reach the top three. Her only album to climb higher is Ciara: The Evolution, which reached #1 in December 2006. The first single from the new album, “Body Party,” jumped to #25 on last week’s Hot 100. Another song, “I’m Out” (featuring Nicki Minaj), was the week’s top new entry at #50.

The first-week tally for Magna Carta is substantially more than Yeezus, by Jay-Z’s pal and sometime collaborator Kanye West, has sold in its first four weeks combined (460K).

It'll probably keep rising more over the next few weeks 
PoM has just been released to Netflix and other TV outlets  I can also see them airing it on a major TV network (probably MTV) leading up to the album release
