They talk about the sales for C3, why are they saying it did 1.5 mill the first week? Didnt it do 1.05 mill the first week? I mean thats a huge difference, talking like he did 1.5, thats 200k away from MMLP and the record, I thought he just broke a mill, or like close to 1.1 mill US, maybe I'm wrong, but I could have sworn he aint do no 1.5 mill first week, unless it was worldwide or something.

Nah man, I think thats bullshit, I remember all the buzz when his shit dropped it wasnt even 1.1 mill I could have sworn, now its 1.5 mill, maybe worldwide, again maybe I'm wrong, but I need to see some official billboard chart soundscan numbers for that first week to see that shit.

ns_diplomat · 09-12-2009, 05:08 PM

Mr Wavez · 09-12-2009, 05:15 PM

As some predicted it probably would, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III has sold more than a million copies in a single week (exact number: 1,005,545), the first album to do so since 50 Cent's The Massacre in March 2005. What makes this even more impressive is that Carter III leaked a week and a half before its street date, Wayne's fans — now used to just downloading free Internet mix tapes — haven't been to a record store in years, and worldwide music sales are the worst they've been in twenty years, according to the results of a new survey (we're not sure why they had to conduct a survey to deduce this, but whatever). So how did Wayne manage to pull off this seemingly impossible feat?

1. Kanye West
The last time album with first-week sales nearing a million was Kanye's Graduation, released last August (it sold 957,000), benefiting from the rapper-producer's massive fan base and even-larger blog readership that does anything the man says. For the past week, Kanye's been urging subscribers of his RSS feed to help Lil Wayne beat his own sales, which seems like a noble gesture, even when you consider that Carter III features several of Kanye's beats, and its success will likely earn him millions of dollars.
