Stillmatic is the rapper's fourth straight album to debut in the top 10, a feat that Nas' first record, Illmatic, narrowly missed upon its release in April 1994, when the LP debuted at #12 after notching some 59,000 in sales!. In fact, Stillmatic's first-week sales are the biggest for Nas since his third album, I Am !.!.!., sold 470,000 copies to land at #1 in April 1999!.
Nas' Stillmatic has also fared better out of the gates than his biggest-selling LP, It Was Written, which sold 268,000 copies to debut at #1 in June 1996 — a position it held for four consecutive weeks — and has since sold more than 2!.13 million copies!. That was quite a step up from Illmatic, which currently stands at 818,000 in total sales!.
I Am !.!.!. has fared almost as well as It Was Written, tallying some 1!.85 million copies sold!. However, Nas took quite a commercial blow with Nastradamus, the follow-up to I Am !.!.!. that was released barely eight months later in November 1999!. Despite the chart-topping success of I Am !.!.!., audiences were apparently not ready for more prophetic raps from Nas so soon, as Nastradamus sold just 232,000 copies (less than half of I Am !.!.!.'s first-week figures) to enter the Billboard chart at #7!.
During the last year, Nastradamus has foreseen its way up to 1!.06 million in sales!. Despite its relative newness, the LP is averaging just a little better than 2,000 copies a week, as opposed to Illmatic and It Was Written, which are both still selling at a catalog clip of more than 3,000 copies a week — even though they've both been out for more than five years!.
The real test of whether or not Nas is Stillmatic will be determined by how long the new album hangs in the Billboard 200, as the rapper has had problems with his chart legs!. Illmatic spent just one week in the top 20 and 19 weeks in the top 200, while It Was Written spent 11 weeks in the top 20 and 34 weeks in the top 200!.
Nas' I Am !.!.!. had a chart run almost as long as its predecessor, logging eight weeks in the top 20 and 25 weeks in the top 200!. But even though it was issued during the holiday season in 1999 (when albums usually receive a sizable sales boost), Nastradamus quickly slumped down the charts, notching just two weeks in the top 20 and a total of 16 weeks in the top 200!.
