Lil Wayne Conquers World With New Album, Tha Carter IV

[Filipe-Weezy]

Debuting immediately after his performance at the Video Music Awards, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV sold nearly 1 million in its opening week, more than doubling the performance of Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne (in a conversation with FORBES, Cash Money Records chief Bryan “Birdman” Williams denied buying up massive quantities of copies to boost sales). Meanwhile, Billboard reported that eight of the album’s singles surged onto the Hot 100 chart, joining three existing singles to give Wayne a whopping 11 songs on the list. Only the Beatles have held more concurrent positions, placing 14 songs on the Hot 100 in April 11, 1964.

Wayne isn't even in the top 100 selling artists of all time yet, are you in touch with reality o_O. The Beetles have sold 600M-1B records.

Not sure? I think so? Wayne is slowly creeping into the top end of the best selling rappers he's only 28 too so I'm sure if he carries on and doesn't retire he'll hit around 50m by the time he's Jay-Z's age

True but that didn't seem to effect his 964,000 first week sales in the U.S.
