DJ Khaled “Major Key,” the DJ’s ninth
studio album, debuted at number one on
the US Billboard album chart for the week
through Thursday with sales of 95,000
copies or the equivalent in downloads and
streaming, tracking service Nielsen Music
said.
The album features appearances from
some of the top names in hip-hop
including Jay Z, Drake, Kendrick Lamar,
Nicki Minaj and J. Cole.
DJ Khaled, 40, has long worked with all-
star rappers but his own brand quickly
grew last year as he put out humorous
videos on Snapchat, the social media
platform known for temporary postings.
His Snapchat musings, which became the
loose theme to his album, revolved around
his “keys to success” in life, with his
nuggets of wisdom ranging from eating
breakfast to lathering his body with cocoa
butter.
DJ Khaled appropriately celebrated his
number-one album with a slew of social
media postings late Sunday and Monday.
In one video on Instagram, the portly DJ is
seen walking topless around a luxurious
home, declaring, “They tried to count me
out. Now we count our blessings up.”
