XXL Magazine: American Gangster Soundtrack [2007]
[2009 Grammy® Award Nominee: Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media]
American Gangster received widespread critical acclaim and was viewed by music critics as a return to form for Jay-Z's following the critical disappointment of Kingdom Come (2006). It was ranked among the best albums of 2007 in several publications' year-end lists, including The Austin Chronicle, who ranked it number one. Rolling Stone also named the album's second single, "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is...)", the best song of 2007.
The album was also a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling over 425,000 copies in its first week. This became Jay-Z's tenth number-one album, tying him with Elvis Presley for the second most number-one albums on the chart. A month after its release, it was certified multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in December 2007. This would be Jay-Z's last album released under Def Jam Recordings before signing with Live Nation two years later.
