Title: Lil Wayne cracks 1 million with "Tha Carter III"
Post by: SEERLOVESKAIN on June 17, 2008, 08:32:39 PM
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - With "Tha Carter III," Lil Wayne becomes the first artist since 50 Cent in 2005 to sell more than 1 million copies of an album in a single week, according to chart reports that will be issued Wednesday morning (June 18) by Nielsen SoundScan.

In its first week on the market, "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) sold just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was 50 Cent's "The Massacre" in March 2005.

No album in 2006 sold as many as 800,000 copies in a single frame, and the largest sales week since "The Massacre" belonged to Kanye West's "Graduation," which netted an opener of 957,000 copies when it hit stores on September 11, 2007.

Lil Wayne first appeared on the Billboard 200 in 1999. His previous biggest sales week was a 238,000-unit start for "Tha Carter II" in 2005. That set entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 while becoming his fourth No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Lil Wayne has known for the past week that he would have the #1 album in the country with his Tha Carter III bowing at stores — it was just a matter of how high the numbers would be. After selling some 400,000 copies in his first day, everyone knew he had a great chance of selling more than 900,000 albums, with 1 million first-week sales within a tatted arm's reach.

Well, Weezy nation has spoken: Billboard reported late Tuesday (June 17) that Tha Carter III is the first album since 50 Cent's 2005 LP The Massacre to sell more than 1 million copies in a single week, according to chart reports that will be issued Wednesday morning by Nielsen SoundScan. Billboard reported that Carter sold "just over" a million units in its first week.

So what does Wayne think about his monumental success? Well, he's pretty humble.

"Thank you, that's it," he said to MTV News when asked about the album's success earlier this week. "[I'm] just very grateful, that's it. Blown away, of course. Surprised, of course. Elated. Every positive word there is.

"I wasn't trippin' about this," he said about his numbers. "I didn't have no expectations. That's not only with music, [that's] period. You shouldn't expect anything. You never know what could happen."

Wayne did have a special message for his fans, however: "What's poppin', MTV. It's Weezy F. Baby, and I just wanna thank everybody out there for making Tha Carter III the #1 album in the country. Thank you."

Before Weezy's success, Kanye West had the largest sales week since 50's Massacre with last year's Graduation, which sold 957,000 copies in its debut week.

Wayne starts his Carter III tour on June 27. He also told MTV News that he and T-Pain are forming a supergroup.

I never like dude, until "The Carter III". Album has some strong cuts like "Mr. Carter", "Tie My Hands" and "Shoot Me Down". Congrats to Weezy, although I think that there are other artists who deserves sales like this more than Wayne

Hip-Hop Music = turntablism, electronica, rap, etc.

i have known about the elements of hip-hop for a long time my friend. i understand your point when you say rap is hip-hop etc, they make "rap" aka "hip-hop" music.

my point however, is that when the hip-hop elements first came to light, the music actually embraced the elements that coincided with it. what i consider today to be hip hop vs. rap is the artists that still embrace those elements in their music. that is how i define the difference between rap and hip-hop. i consider rap to be a component of hip-hop yes, but as the same thing, no. they are totally different.

stupid fuck

rap is hip hop music.

even d4l is hiphop - it just aint good

haha. wow. if you truly believe that, then you shouldn't be posting on this board.  ::)

school up. you have a lot of learning to do.

no, you're the one that needs to learn something.

Hip Hop is the culture. DJing, MCing, Breaking, Writing

krs-one, immortal technique, etc are hip-hop, yeah. but they make rap music. Which happens to be a part of hip-hop music.

Hip-Hop Music = turntablism, electronica, rap, etc.

stop tryna be an elitist by separating "conscious" stuff from the other rap just because you dont want the name of hip hop to be tainted. new jack

i have known about the elements of hip-hop for a long time my friend. i understand your point when you say rap is hip-hop etc, they make "rap" aka "hip-hop" music.

my point however, is that when the hip-hop elements first came to light, the music actually embraced the elements that coincided with it. what i consider today to be hip hop vs. rap is the artists that still embrace those elements in their music. that is how i define the difference between rap and hip-hop. i consider rap to be a component of hip-hop yes, but as the same thing, no. they are totally different.

lil wayne is a bboy

hes got mad skills on the dance floor  8)

this is not true i guess, if it is..damn, hip hop is alive cause only pop albums(lil wayne=not hip hop) sell and hip hop aint.

how is lil wayne not hip-hop?  ::)  haaaaaaaaaaaater


lol? are you trying to become a comedian? cause that shit was fucking funny. you really don't know the difference between rap and hip-hop do you? lil' wayne is not "hip-hop". he is gutter slop with a unique garbage flow that appeals to teeny boppers and sodomites. hip hop is paris, immortal technique, krs-one, atmosphere, planet asia, etc.  lil wayne and your comment are a joke.


carter III platinum sales + dumbass listener base = proof that rap isn't as prolific as it used to be.

well, I bought this album, started to like lil wayne's style (not meaning that t-pain type of shit  :D )....but I heard before this album tracks like "we takin over", "gossip", "i feel like dying", "i'm me" and "ghetto remix" (damn wayne killed it on that song)....

...I gotta say that I like the album, I bought the deluxe edition, only tracks that could have been removed are "got money" (typical boring shit) and la la (just ain't feeling this joint at all, I tried but no)....top 3 are dr.carter, tie my hands & dr. carter...
