The numbers are in for Wale's new album Ambition, and it's officially taken the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B list with over 164,062 copies sold.  He's also ranking in at  #2 on the overall Top 200. Additionally, Ambition held the #1 spot at iTunes beating out Miranda Lambert, Florence + The Machine, and even Justin Bieber!  The album features appearances from heavy hitters such as  Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Ne-Yo, Jeremih, Miguel and Lloyd. Diplo and Lex Luger also lend their signature sound to tracks.

Wale took to Twitter to express his excitement: @wale  “#ambition ...its happening ...selling out everywhere ..thank you! yall are amazing! lets keep goin!” He later added after his performance that night, “What a day, what a night, what a moment…what a life. My ego is confused, my heart sarcastic, and my brain is chuckling.”
