Jay-Z tops charts

The previously retired rapper, Jay-Z has come out with a new album entitled "Kingdom Come". The album has already skyrocketed in terms of sales, tallying over 680,000 copies already sold. What I am wondering is that with all of the music piracy that goes on in our country, how much of an impact does it really have on record sales. I feel that album sales would be considerably higher than they are now because people would not just wait for the album to come out and download it off the internet illegaly. They would actually have to make the purchase. What are everybody's thoughts?
