Weezy Sells 423,000 Albums In A Day!
What the funk?! Get money! One of our favorites, Lil Wayne, is on the track to sale nearly a million copies of his latest album, The Carter III!
The excessive leaks and bootlegging of Lil Wayne’s new album haven’t prevented it from being a hot seller: The rapper’s “Tha Carter III” sold 423,000 copies in its first day of release, according to Billboard magazine, citing figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
With such sales, Lil Wayne is on pace to sell about 900,000 copies of the CD in its first week and post the best sales debut of the year. Last year’s first-week top-seller was from Kanye West, who sold some 957,000 copies of “Graduation.” (Source)
