Common’s seventh album Finding Forever will debut at #1 on next week’s Billboard charts. This is Common’s first album to reach #1 on The Billboard 200 with 155,329 copies sold in its first week. Common sent out a MySpace bulletin with the news:

Peace Fam

With your unprecedented love and support you, “The People” have helped us make Finding Forever the # 1 album this week!I want to thank all of you who have supported in helping us accomplish this great feat but the journey is not over! And if you still haven’t bought a copy, join the movement… spread the word…

Peace & Love
COMMON

The album had little promotion, so the fact that it landed at #1 is a great feat. Congrats to Common on his first and well-deserved #1 album!
