Lil' Wayne Moves A Million Albums In One Week

Tha Carter III the fastest selling album since 50 Cent's The Massacre...
With Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne becomes the first artist since 50 Cent in 2005 to sell more than 1 million copies of an album in a single week.
In its first week on the market, Tha Carter III (Cash Money/Universal) sells just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was 50 Cent's The Massacre in March 2005.
No album in 2006 sold as many as 800,000 copies in a single frame, and the largest sales week since The Massacre belonged to Kanye West's Graduation, which netted an opener of 957,000 copies last year when it hit stores on September 11th.
Lil Wayne first appeared on The Billboard 200 in 1999. His previous biggest sales week was a 238,000-unit start for Tha Carter II in 2005. That set entered The Billboard 200 at #2 while becoming his fourth #1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Have people forgotten that Radiohead pushed 1.2 million units of their latest album through their website? That happened just last year, just thought I'd throw that in there.

This is probably the most retarded thing that's happened in a long time. I simply cannot fathom how this is possible. It boggles my mind.

This CD is everything wrong with rap today. Garbage beats, terrible rhymes, lazy writing, and all the people lapping it up like it's the next Illmatic.
