Lil' Wayne hit the charts and Did It On 'Em with his latest LP, Tha Carter IV. Not sure how he did it, since the buzz surrounding it was lackluster at best, but he's surpassing sales predictions and quickly approaching platinum status in its first week out. Yet again. Deets.......
According to HITS Daily Double, Lil' Wayne's Tha Carter IV disc is set to debut on Billboard's Hot 200 at #1, having sold between 925,000-975,000 copies already
Sales of the album far surpassed earlier predictions which hovered around the 850,000-900,000 range. And with Labor Day music sales expected to fall in Weezy's favor, he could hit 1 million by Wednesday.
But even if he doesn't cross the million-dollar mark, Weezy still had the second biggest sales week of the year. He is topped only by Lady Gaga who sold 1.1 million units of Born This Way in one week.
Here's how others stacked up this week:
Lil Wayne (Cash Money/Universal Republic) 925-975k
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Warner Bros.) 215-240k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 125-150k
Jay Z & Kanye West (Roc-a-Fella/Roc Nation) 80-85k
David Guetta (Capitol/EMI) 45-50k
Jake Owen (RCA Nashville) 45-50k
Game (Interscope) 40-45k
Beyonce (Columbia) 35-40k
