Each of his five of his solo albums have now sold a million copies in the U.S.

The Notorious B.I.G. scores his fifth million-selling album in the U.S., as his 2007 release Greatest Hits climbs past the million sales mark. The set sold 4,000 copies in the week ending Feb. 8 (up a whopping 339 percent), according to Nielsen Music, pushing the album’s sales to 1.003 million.

The album’s big sales surge is owed to how the title was sale priced for only $4.99 in the iTunes Store during the tracking week.

On the Billboard 200 albums chart, the set climbs 158-74 with 8,000 equivalent album units earned (up 61 percent).

All five of The Notorious B.I.G.’s solo albums have now each sold at least a million copies. His best-seller is Life After Death (5.36 million), followed by Ready to Die (3.87 million), Born Again (1.96 million) and Duets: The Final Chapter (1.17 million). Life After Death, Born Again and Greatest Hits all reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Ready to Die peaked at No. 15, and Duets: The Final Chapter topped out at No. 3.

The Notorious B.I.G. has one more album in his catalog, the 2017 collaborative set The King & I with Faith Evans. It has sold 24,000 copies and topped out at No. 65.

In total, The Notorious B.I.G. has sold 13.4 million albums in the U.S.

EDITORS’ NOTES

Incarcerated dropped while Boosie Badazz (né Lil Boosie) was serving an eight-year bid on drug charges—but it did increase demand for it. While technically a mixtape, Life After Death Row is the first set the Southern rap legend has put out since his March 2014 release. Boosie raps about the degradations of time served and the revelations of freedom, outlining his murder charges on the opener. That's followed by a string of songs about reuniting with the opposite sex, including 'Facetime' featuring Trey Songz. Designed to pacify fans eagerly awaiting Boosie's new studio album, Death Row is a welcome reintroduction to one of rap's biggest talents.
