Tha Carter III Sells 423,000 in One Day

Friday June 13, 2008

Leaks? No problem. Negative reviews? Psssh, not a factor. Lil Wayne is smiling all the way to the bank, as his new album Tha Carter III is projected to arrive right on the heels of the 1 Million mark by next week. Carter III started off with a bang, selling a whopping 463,000 copies in just one day! That's more than most rappers sell in an entire.

If the 1 million copies prediction holds true, Wayne would safely lock down the No.1 spot. In fact, that would make it this year's first-week top seller. Last year's first-week biggest seller was Kanye West's Graduation, which posted 957,000 copies in one week. Only Mariah Carey's E=MC2 has outsold every other first-week CD, with 463,000 copies.

Weezy's last album and the best of his Carter installments, Tha Carter II, sold 1.4 million copies.

I don't know what's more upsetting: This random ridiculous buying of an OK album at best....

or the fact radio stations are playing EVERY song from his album.

HELLO, WHEN DID THEY EVER PLAY MORE THAN THE SINGLE OUT FROM AN ARTIST???? SO MANY AMAZING SONGS NEVER WENT ON THE RADIO BY NAS, JAY Z, RAKIM, WILL SMITH, ETC AND YET THIS KID HAS EVERY LAST OF THIS CD ON THE RADIO CONSTANTLY

ugh.
