Wow, Birdman ain’t lie. According to Hits Daily Double, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV sold an estimated one million copies. If the number holds up, he becomes the second rapper after Eminem to hit platinum twice in the first week. The final tally is in tomorrow, but this will mark Weezy’s third number one album. Belee dat.

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
SALUTE

A MILLI A MILLI A MILLI
C4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
SALES SO HARD…. THIS SHIT CRAZY… AIN’T IT JAY…- KAYNE WEST
HA !
second rapper? didnt he already do it with carter 3?
Weezy puts in work!
If he did, more power to him. But it just shows, the crowds he marketing too are actually buying his music. There might be a whole bunch of copy cat wannabe gangsters but he’ll be richer nonetheless. Album was good. Surprising to sell that many week 1.
OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY LIL WAYNE CONGRATS AND UM I HPE HE DOES A SONG LIKE A TRIBUTE TO US FANS LIKE AMILLIE AMILLIE AMILLIE
50 Cent Sold 1 Million First Week Also.
these aren’t so official there estimates and its 690 over doesnt mean its definite official soundscans come in tomorrow
WOW………………………………………NO FUCKING WAY. Wayne did it AGAIN……deserved win. CONGRATS TO THE MAN! he earned it.
if ya’ll is one of the million that bought this album YOU MIGHT like my sound…or if you like Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Missy Elliott….
Check out my music if you get a chance guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08_IbmGWjZw
I refuse to believe these are real numbers! Copies were being purchased from the label/Baby! And this is no hate all! Wayne is a good artist but no way is this album outselling Recovery in first week sales unless numbers are being toyed with ESPECIALLY WITH AN ALBUM SUCH AS THE POOR CRAFTED CARTER 4. :/
hes the 2nd rapper to do a mill twice 50 cent’s massacre did it too
HOPE *
THE FIRST BLACK PERSON TO HIT A MILLI 2 TIMES IN A WEEK !!!!!
THIS SHIT CRAZYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, this nigga did it again, ain’t that about a bxtch. I think B. Dot meant he’ll be the 2nd rapper to do a milli in a week multiple times. Eminem did it with the MMLP & The Eminem Show. I think he might’ve did it with Encore too, I’m not sure though. Congrats to him, I din’t think he’d do it again
Birdman bought 400k of them and wrote them off as business expenses.
@yo B.Dot meant the second rapper to sell a million copes in the first week twice.
lol haters mad…smh
*WHEW*……GOOD THING BABY HAD A MONEY STASH READY TO BUY HALF OF THOSE ALBUMS!!!!
…..HA!!!! FOLLOW mac DIESEL ON TWITTER: @ mac_DIESEL76!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
PLEASE DON’T BE FOOLED. JUST KNOW FOR A FACT BABY BOUGHT AT LEAST 400K OF THIS ALBUMM JUST SO HE CAN HAVE SOME TYPE OF BRAGGING RIGHT OVER HOV. EVEN THOUGH HOV CAN CARELESS. THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE DOESNT WEAR JEGGINGS OR SING SONGS. ONE MORE THING. THIS GOES FOR ANY ARTIST. SALES DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE NICE. NELLY SOLD MORE THAN MOST RAPPERS. AND LYRICALLY HE IS NOT NICE. HATE ON OR DAP ME!
@ Yung Silv.
The numbers actually come in Tuesday afternoons. Soundscan doesn’t post them to the public til Weds. Also, the Tues numbers always come in a little less than the wed reported soundscans. So look for a slight jump up in numbers (maybe a 1000) when reported 2moro.
WOMEN LIE … MEN LIE… NUMBER DON’T…. – JAY-Z
YUP WHAT THE CAMEL SAID….

hmmm in this case numbers do lie, u would think this is the best album of all time with those sale numbers hahahhahaha.
850K were from White America
Congrats Weezy!
wow… 1million just like that .
I’m not a hater Wayne is a good artist but c4 was terrible can’t even compare to c3 and to sell a milli the first week you need a buzz a smash no.1 hit he had neither c3 had both #ijs
Birdman spent some money on Wayne albums! Wayne greatest supporter……..Steems
@ Black Sam
You are correct. Soundscans are computerized and come in for the week on Tues afternoons. I have been following the Soundscan numbers for Wayne everyday since last thurs. It was pretty obvious after friday he was gonna top 1 million first week.
Wayne may not be the best but he is the biggest star in rap today.
Thats unfortunate because its the worst “Carter Series” album.
LOL at all the ppl that said C4 had no hype and would flop and do low numbers. HA!
This proves dat rap music is no longer for the inna city. U wanna win and win big den make music outside of that demographic. check me out tho: http://t.co/nJ1KYZx
CONRATS WEEZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE SOLD MORE THEN RECOVERY AND WTT LMAOO !!!
WEEZY IS OFFICIALLY THE KING OF RAP !!!
FUCK THE HATERS !! YMCMB
Congrats.
Tho the album is a 3/5 qualitywise iMO
LOL at all the people that said C4 had no hype and would flop and do low numbers. HA!
He out sold ye & jay smh. Im going drink a bottle belve
Congrats to Wayne! i got my copy.
CONGRATS TUNECHI!
WTT LOST HAA!!!
Haters are mad
i guess birdman bought 400k of C3 also…smh… stop the hate, and SLIM is the head of everything over at CASH MONEY…. that nikka wouldn’t allow that shit…. why spend money on ur own product? wtf…………..
Just because he sold a million records, does not make the record good, just means the white kids in the suburbs bought it, thats why Em has done it twice too.
one million in one week, and it loses steam in the coming weeks. its a flop. How can a fucking album have so much hype, sell one million in one week, and then everyone forgets about it in the coming weeks or months. Carter 3 is a perfect example. Lots of hype, one million in one week, yet the TOTAL SALES for Carter 3 are 2.8 million. WTF is that? F.L.O.P. It’ll happen with C4 as well.
I’m with Lil Majer. There’s just no way…this nigga is not by any means a genius, how is he selling so much?
He has the world’s most retarded fans, I’ll give him that. Can’t knock the hustle though.
