Rap star Nas earns his sixth #1 album this week with Life Is Good. It is his third consecutive solo studio collection to hit the top. Heavy metal Pierce the Veil have a breakout rock album on their hands topping the rock chart for the first time with Collide With the Sky. Reggae artist Matisyahu earns his third consecutive top 20 studio album with Spark Seeker, the first release since his much publicized move away from some of the personal restrictions he had been following as part of his Jewish faith.
