Lil Wayne now has official numbers to back up his bragging — the rapper’s new CD has sold a spectacular 1 million copies its first week despite being heavily bootlegged and leaked on the Internet.
Expectations for "Tha Carter III" were high, and it delivered — selling 423,000 copies in its first day of release.
This is easily the best selling first week of the year, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures. Even Kanye West’s "The Graduation" didn’t eclipse that mark in its first week last year.
This nigga finally did sumthin he said he was gonna do. Congratulations!!! You still NOT the best rapper alive…HAHAHAHA!!!

Wayne has been in this game forever. Its good to see people can still sell records. Niggas need to stop the hate and get in the lab. Stop complaining about shit and get to work. Maybe I shouldnt have said that. Hate is the new love. Hate on haters…..
wow did you really say he only has 3 albums……. think and research before you think. he has been rapping since forever when i was in freshman he was dropping the first hot boys album not to mention the work on previous B,g’s albums and cameos
he da best n he defaeted da odds after it was leaked
This albu oy had 16 tracks and i would consider it a let down. Like Mike Prat said…”His mixtapes be better than his albums”. Do some research and you’ll see.
im a crip today yall. sincerly lil wayne…
I want 2 give a shoutout 2 LiL Wayne on his success with his new album the Carter III. He’s been in the game 4 awhile putting it down and now that he’s finally being recognized 4 his craft is great. Keep doin what u do. Niggaz is gon’ hate reguardless thats a haters job.

congrats nigga! Now just stop french kissing niggaz and yo ass would be aiight!! LOL…I still like your though nigga!! LMAO
honestly, the carter 3 is wack…it only sold a million bc it was highly anticipated. the album is disorganized, has no theme, and lacks structure. i do like lil wayne, but just bc he sold a million copies on this record doesnt place him with the greatest of all time neither is it a milestone. the carter 1 was a great album..but the carter 3 is a combination of sloppy lyrics, poorly thought out concepts, and mediocre beats…lil wayne is wrong for dropping that wack ass album, and he knows. but he also knows that it was going to sell regardless. he is a good businessman, but not the greatest rapper alive.
the next best thing alive along that 1 queens nigga
He Kinda Sucks But Im Glad He Sold A Mill…I Got Next Tho
i juss wanna hear dat good ol hood shit bang bang nigga crack sells robbery muzic das wut niggaz bout in my hood ..q.u. fuck all da bullshit..but it aint surprise me wayne sold 1 mill alot of his fans r homoes..
HE NEEDED BABY ON THAT ALBUM,AND HE WOULD HAVE SOLD 2 MILLION.
