Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV Goes Platinum
September 14, 2011 @ 10:00 AM EDT
News
As expected, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV has hit the platinum mark. After two weeks, the album has sold a total of 1,184,103 copies and remains at number one. Dougie to that, haters.
Lil Wayne taught us how to love, how to hate and told us she will jump up on that dick and do a full split! Ugh
Who?
baby must be broke with a garage full of cds…..
just kidding. props to the man for those #s. Something real to be proud of no matter what any hater says.
That’s one hell of a drop off in 2nd week numbers.
What now haters???? Oh mack maine bought the other copies to make the album platinum smfh this young man put in work and its paying off
All Hail Weezy Call It Bad Weather
YMCMB over everything
-79%! WEAK SECOND WEEK SALES!
RECOVERY > C4!
I CAN’T MAKE HER REAL!
it was literally a C4
IMO, even with these sales, C4 was Lil Wayne’s Relapse, he needs to pull a Recovery.
The album does have some bangers, though…
960k+ first week
200k second week? C’MON SONNNNNNN you aint gon catch up with RECOVERY’s sales
SHADY > YMCMB
oh and thats perfect this nigga’s sales dropping this fast. September 27 COLE WORLD coming out and we’ll get a #1 album with 200k first week 😀

How can you compare Eminem sales to Lil Wayne? Eminem is in his own legaue,nobody can touch him. Not Jay,Kanye or any other black rapper for that materr.
Platinum out the gate for Wayne…Nicki still selling copies of Pink Friday and the talk of Fashion Week…and Drake & Tyga up next…YMCMB’s on a tear, they re-upped the Cash Money Dynasty…over a decade, still 100% black owned…didn’t sell out to the Tall Isreali’s or ditch their original business partners like the Jigga Davis Jr. did…the Williams brothers did it right, and actually made Wayne a made man and gave him a share of ownership of the business…meanwhile Jay’s talking about bar mitzahs while Dame is broke and Biggs is getting caught with bricks all cause Hov sold them out…watch the real throne
In somewhat of agreement with Capeman. Thought it was a piece of work(in a good way) but I feel like he still will have his Recovery. Maybe Weezy needs to take Ems hand like the Not Affraid track and let Em take him there HA…or at least have Em on the album!
@BDot, Putting “haters” in a Lil Wayne post only exposes your infatuation with mediocre music.
Fact of the matter is EVERYONE was scratchin their heads at these sales, hater.
That pic is kinda gay…
Hell fucking no Wayne doesn’t need his “Recovery’…a bunch of corny ass sappy pseudo-inspirational whiny Alex The Kid records? Naw, we’ll pass…C4 is what his fans wanted, wayne just straight spitting over tracks, hooks optional. Basically mixtape Weezy. Mirror is close enough to Recovery styled song, one is more than enough.
UM, I SMEEL A FIX. HIS 2ND WEEK NUMBERS, BY SALES TRENDS, LOOK LIKE THE NUMBERS OF SOMEONE WHO SOLD CERCA 500 THOUSAND THE FIRST WEEK. HOW HE GO FRO NEARLY A MILL TO 1 SUM THOU? BABY BOUGHT THEM RECORDS INSTEAD OF BUYING THAT 8 MILLION DOLLA MAYBAC. WAYNE SHUDA SOLD AT LEAST 400 THOU THIS 2ND WEEK.
wayne..shitting on niggas..hahaha
..
been..cashing $300 checks daily… http://goo.gl/dgjX9 after seein how u can make money online…doing shit u already do..lol
B. Dot — How are we haters if we didn’t like the album? I listened to the album a good three times before discussing it. I didn’t like the album. When Shaq was rapping, his records sold but you won’t hear anyone say he’s ‘Top 5 Dead or Alive’.
Dude did 220 thousand after doing 960 first week. hell of a drop off. he probably gets to 1.5 million and that’s it
@Product of Chicago I don’t mean to use the same Recovery formula, I mean it in the way Relapse was not what we expected, and Recovery was a lot better; we know Wayne can do better, he can go harder than C4. But he makes a point with this, even with this he sells a milli on 2 weeks, so he knows people will buy whatever he puts out.
There sumthin not right. How do you have a 75% drop off in the 2nd wk? Anyways Congrats Wayne.
Congrate Wayne you shitted on everybody again-Big Sean
They know they know! Drake up next Take Care Oct. 24
@DJSTIZZY
Why do people make up stuff just to sound smart in their hating. According to what “sales trends” Cause this is par the course for hip hop albums where an emphasis is placed on first week sales and being the first to have the hot new album, hence the term “hip hop drop”…rap albums drop anywhere from 60%-80% on average from their first sales on average. Watch the Throne dropped somewhere around 65% and most likely would have been higher if not for the staggered release of the phyisical version of the album, which saw actual CDs not going on sale till the friday after the original digital release.
The bigger the first week, typically the bigger the decline…
C3 had a similar 75% decrease…Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster (which sold like 1.2 million or whatever) saw something close to 85%
Basically, stop making up stuff…and just admit “Wayne shitted on the industry again, and I’m upset about it”
Hey jackass read what billboard posted. After selling almost a million this is normal,to drop down that much. FACT
Congrats Wayne. No matter what Wayne does ppl find a way to discredit his accomplishments. STFU and congratulate the man for staying consistent. Geeeez u guys kill me. He cud cure cancer and u’d find a way to hate
He sold more than 200k in second week
That’s pretty impressive
wanye couldve came much harder than he did on this album. and this came out the mouth of a new orleans nigga i was polying with yesterday. but we gone still support and buy the shit.
Co-sign @product of chicago….a buncha haters on this site.
swag~ just let wayne have his moment, he shat over everybody again, end of story.
I don’t get it. That shit is trash. Pull the wool off your eyes.
Fuck Male Lady! She cheated her way to the top so fuck off!

U DONT HAVE LONGEVITY WAYNE, HAHAHAHA
Poser.
sales drop 80 % in second week ? thats such a BS . lmao . how can you fall from 1 mil to 200 k in a week ? eminem sold 740 k first week , 315k second week , 240k third week , 200k fourth week . and then he went like 4 weeks more with +100 k sales . third week carter 4 won’t make more than a 100 k .
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT IN THE FIRST WEEK C4 SOLD 940,000 ALBUMS, AND IN THE SECOND WEEK HE ONLY SOLD 200,000 !?!?!? IF THAT DOESN’T PROVE THAT BABY AND CASH MONEY BAUGHT ALL THOSE FIRST WEEK ALBUMS THAN I DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL. THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. YOU GOT TO BE REAL STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT THOSE FIRST WEEK NUMBERS WEREN’T ALL FROM CASH MONEY SEEING THESE HORRIBLE SECOND WEEK NUMBERS.
HA wayne stans claiming he shitted on the industry while he had some weak ass trash of an album….ten years from now no nigga will be checking C4
Quality over sales you dimwits

Check it out, I don’t know why everyone is always hating on everything that someone puts out.. it’s like people always want to bitch about something.. sounds like a bunch of females. I didn’t pay for Wayne’s cd, I got it before it came out and didn’t even listen to it till it came out because I really wasn’t all that excited about it. I listened to games cd until Wayne’s cd came out. All in all it isn’t a bad record, I listened to it once all the way through and really haven’t listened to it since so I wouldn’t say it is a good record either. Needless to say he has a lot of fans, particularly the younger crowd listens to him. my 18 year old sister and her friends bought the cd. do you really think he gives a damn who buys it as long as it sales? shit I wouldn’t care if someone bought my cd just to break it.. I still got that money. you guys really need to just respect his hustle and stop hating so damn much, if you don’t like it then don’t listen to it. for the people who keep saying em is better,, no shit he is but they are two different types of rappers. em is witty and has crazy word play along with being a lyrical beast, only a few rappers should even be mentioned when comparing, nas, luda, tech n9ne, papoose and fab. not saying these rappers are better then your favorite rappers but they just know how to put words together.. there are a few more but I haven’t heard anything from them in a while so ill let u fill in the blanks. All I’m trying to say is instead of hating on the man or woman and comparing them to someone who they clearly are not, whatever he likes to call himself wearing those jeggings anyway, that shit is too funny. it’s better to congratulate someone on their accomplishments.

Trash
worst rapper of all time
Em Recovery = 4Million us & 7Million WW
birdgay bought 1 million and his fans 200k
Saw that happening. Congrats!
Best hiphop album of the year!
This dude sold more than all these wack backpack underground stans favorite rappers combined. Don’t hate. Lil Wayne>>>>>>>>>> Underground.
Carter IV the worst album I’ve ever heard… smfh
Once Again Congrats to Wayne. It was a good album and if u dont think so, then go listen to something else. ppl saying this was a flop because he dropped by so much. lol Wayne has the second highest first week sales and this album will most likely be the best selling album of 2011. lyrically he fell off, but if u think he fell off commercially, then u lying to urself.
Everyone who wants the album goes out and gets it first week, people seem to either love or hate Wayne. So numbers make sense. http://bit.ly/ijQWPi
